todae went to church.and the sermon todae was meaningful. it applied to my life. and everyone life out dere. when JEsus is Lord, we will livw in holiness! as we have to show our love more thru action compared to verbally.Jesus Christ is truely anknowledge the light of our life. this will allow us to walk in holiness.and with this, how can we serve him and walk the rest of our life in holiness? with that , there are three steps:
1) Set ur mind on e things above/God.(Colossians 3:1-2)
1) Set ur mind on e things above/God.(Colossians 3:1-2)
This means that we have to set our stand right with the lord our GOd as a position in christ alone.OUr mind is the battlefield in deciding our path and get closer to the holiness life. There may be alot of rules in the bible. but, we does not have to keep the set of rules.. wads really matter is the right decision we made. (Proverbs 23:7, 4:23). we must also know that wadever thing. or even everything start from our hearts. if one were to think that he or she could sin for a few times and will definately be forgiven. it doesnt shows the firm stand of mind on the things above.
2) Put to death your earthly nature(Colossians 3:5)
The passion for christ is equally important for the love for him. We should put to death on our sinful deeds. in the verse stated, slander, greed, unwanted sex desire,lying and others negitive sin was being mention inside. we often slander(gossips) behind peoples back. we should not be control by sin. peoples may talk bck bout others but we, as a believer in christ we should not be part of the sinner. our father lord forgive our sin by dying on the cross for us. we should not do all dis undesirable things. we should say no to slander!As we knoe, HOLY is not equal to natural, HOLY = Supernatural!
3) Put on the new self(Colossians 3:10-11)
The posture for chirst is also impt! ITs doesnt matter what ur background ,past were. Holiness is all bout the newself we put on every single new day. the newself is all christ above all! Jesus doesnt mind the past of us. even if a person id filthy in the past. but when he or she confess with his or her mouth, they will be forgiven! Therefore we must put a newself(put on Jesus) every morning. even before we brush our teeth.=D (Roman 13:14).when we achieve victory, its not the reward we gain. its JEsus glory !so to live in holiness. we should wake up every morning and said:
"LORD, TODAY I PUT U ON. forgive my sin. i will set my mind on the things above/God and will definately have the passion for u always."
After this sermons, i feel that GOd presense is with me. i love him . always. More than anyone else. i understand that i am not perfect in the past. but i will sset my mind on him and serve him and put down the past (Filthiness) . as he wanted us to put on a new self every day.
He went to church with me today. iknow he is God gift to me. he is holy one.
i knoe people may feel a sudden change in me.=D but, i hope time will show everything. after church, went to TM coffee bean. ate one brownie and mocha ic blend. yeah! nice nice! hees. after that sarina come and meet me. =D we went to buy her HP strips which she regret later. Hmm...
i still feel abit weird with him. but.i think i am getting use to it le.

LORD, DIVINE MY LIFE MY SOUL MY ALL!
