Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
1 Corinthians 13:4-6
One passage in the Bible that I absolutely adore comes from Paul’s first letter to the Corinthian Church. One of the many reasons that Paul wrote this letter, and specifically this passage, was to address the lack of love for one another in Corinth as well as to address the selfish and jealous desire of spiritual gifts. This passage has challenged me and provides great teaching on how we should love one another and how we can live the life of a mature believer. It is 1 Corinthians 13:1-8.
If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. (New International Version).

The storms of our life prove the strength of our Anchor.

Go to the Throne Before the Phone!
Don't run around seeking counsel from just anyone. Pray first, asking the Lord whether it is His will that you go to another human being for counsel or whether He desires to counsel you Himself. In my own life I have had many, many problems, yet I never went to anyone else for counsel with the exception of one time. On this occasion I visited a lady in ministry who had been abused herself. I do not mean to discredit her, but she really was not able to help me. It was not her fault; she simply was not anointed by the Lord to do so. God is not obligated to anoint what He does not initiate. So often people run to others without following the guidance and leadership of the Holy Spirit, and it never bears good, lasting fruit. When you are in trouble, go to the throne before you go to the phone. I do not mean to suggest that it is wrong to seek counsel. I am just suggesting that you pray and allow the Lord to lead and guide you through the Holy Spirit. Let Him choose the right counselor for you. Just because a person has been through what you are going through, or is a close personal friend, does not mean that individual is the right counselor for you. So I repeat, pray!

Testimony Part 1 - A testimony of 7 Angels!
As I very rarely find time to share good news with you, I thought I’d devote some time this evening to write and share a testimony of what’s been happening recently in my life. I hope that is okay with you :-) It was a great end to 2014 and a great start to 2015, with God revealing new depths of His love, His grace, the supernatural, and His plan for me! Please allow me to begin part 1 of this testimony though with the story of 7 angels! Yes that’s right…ANGELS! Towards the end of 2014 I started asking God to show me angels, something which He had done once a year earlier, but nothing was happening. I frequently heard God asking if I was ready, whether I’d like to see them again but every time I said yes, I found myself expectant of an immediate appearance of an angel. I thought seeing these spiritual beings would be amazing yet at the same time I was fearful of opening my eyes or turning my head to an unfamiliar and unusual face. Sort of like waking up to find a scary clown face staring at you. Whether the reason for not seeing any of these spiritual beings was due to wrong motives or it not being in God’s good timing I do not know (probably a bit of both to be honest). So yeah…nothing was happening. Until, that is, the last week of the year when I was standing with my housemate in her room and she was sharing with me some personal problems she was facing. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed this figure standing in the corner of the room. Turning my head in the direction of this figure I noticed Him. Tall, with a pointy helmet, a shiny breastplate, and two swords drawn, I was staring at this amazing being and hallelujah, without any fear whatsoever! It was like an overwhelming presence of peace had filled the room, something my housemate later testified to feeling too. If this sounds like an incredible story, I can reassure you it gets better. Looking around the room I noticed there was, again, this same figure in each corner of the room (4 in total) and, standing near the corner myself, I turned my head slowly and I was standing shoulder to shoulder, with one of these angels. My housemate bless her didn’t know what was going on because all she could see is me looking around the room with my mouth open and eyes lit bright with astonishment. Moving on with this story, I asked God what was going on and why, at this precise moment, were these angels being revealed to my eyes and, wow, what a powerful response He gave. He said to me that He sends angels to protect His loved ones (that’s us) and to protect His presence in a place where either is vulnerable or under attack from the enemy. In that moment, my housemate was vulnerable from attack due to the sensitive nature of what she was sharing. Is this not an amazing act of love! It gets even better than this! I noticed the angels soon began dancing and rejoicing which had me laughing out loud and I heard God saying that angels are present to rejoice with us when there is victory over the enemy too. Over the next week I saw 3 more angels, one when myself and a good friend were working on a bit of Uni work, and two in the lounge when I myself was vulnerable and needed protection. Hallelujah! So, God answered my prayers to see these angelic beings, increased my knowledge of their purpose, and blowed me away with His kindness and love. All glory to Him.
Take a Praise Pause
I don't think anything blesses God more than when we stop right in the middle of what we're doing sometimes and lift our hands to worship Him or take a moment to bow down before Him and say, "I love You, Lord." In the scripture for today, the psalmist says he took time seven times a day and all day long to praise God. Think about a businessman, for example, maybe the president of a large company. Wouldn't it be wonderful if two or three times a day, he would close the door to his office, turn the lock, kneel, and say, "God, I just want to take some time to worship You. Father, all these things You are giving me - the business, the money, the success - are great, but I just want to worship You. I magnify You. You are so wonderful. I love You. You are all I need. Father, I worship You. Jesus, I worship You. Holy Spirit, I worship You." I believe that if the businessman did that, he would never need to be concerned about his business, his finances, or success. All of those things would be taken care of. Matthew 6:33 (KJV) says, "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

I’m proud to praise God, proud to praise GOD. Fearless now, I trust in God; what can mere mortals do to me? God, you did everything you promised, and I’m thanking you with all my heart. You pulled me from the brink of death, my feet from the cliff-edge of doom. Now I stroll at leisure with God in the sunlit fields of life. (Psalm 56:10-13 MSG) I love that last line..."Now I stroll at leisure with God in the sunlit fields of life"
You are Christ’s body—that’s who you are! You must never forget this. Only as you accept your part of that body does your “part” mean anything. You’re familiar with some of the parts that God has formed in his church, which is his “body”: apostles prophets teachers miracle workers healers helpers organizers those who pray in tongues. But it’s obvious by now, isn’t it, that Christ’s church is a complete Body and not a gigantic, unidimensional Part? It’s not all Apostle, not all Prophet, not all Miracle Worker, not all Healer, not all Prayer in Tongues, not all Interpreter of Tongues. And yet some of you keep competing for so-called “important” parts. But now I want to lay out a far better way for you. (1 Corinthians 12:27-31 MSG)
It's not wrong to deeply want to get married or to find our partner but if we take that desire and turn it into the hope for our lives, and trust in it to save us, it will ALWAYS end in disappointment.

Angels
Last year I prayed and asked God to please let me see Angels and it wasn’t until the last few days of 2014 that He revealed them to me. He showed me 4 at once. Since then I have seen 2 more and it is mind blowing! Ask and you shall recieve. He will give it to you in His perfect timing. All glory to God!

God brings us through the trails to mould us. To mould us not in a controlling supressive way, but in a way that a father who adores and cherishes His children would do.
Hallelujah for the times when I have come out of the valley stronger than what I was when I entered.
When I'm there in Your glorious presence Every knee is bowed before You Hear the sound of heaven singing You are worth it all All the saints cry holy holy Angels singing worthy worthy Forever I will shout Your praises You are worth it all
