Tim i found it liberating to just do what the Lord wants you to do i
work within his boundarys
and yes i attend church
and enjoy it.I love the people
and i love hearing the word
and worshipping the Lord even if others are still bound up with traditions thats not my walk thats theres.My focus is to do what the Lord wants me to do.There have been times i have said no to the pastor he does nt understand why i choose not to lead the worship.i query him as well
regarding the idea that its not just performing a function because there is a need our hearts have to be in the right place so that the Lord can use us but he did nt understand where i was coming from
and thats okay because of that i just said no until my heart is right i am better not being involved in leading.But i am happy to be an encouragement to others in the worship team i havent wanted to be the leader i have done that in the past.So my focus has been just the singing
and being part of different worship teams i think the Lord has other plans as the groups i am in seem to be changing at the same time i am aware that i do nt to worry about change as the Lord knows whats best.I used to be quite comfortable leading the music but that was before when i was operating in my own self confidence
and pride.The Lord did such a huge change in my life that i lost my self confidence
and that is not a bad thing at all as my spiritual growth has been incredible.The big change was my identity moved from me
and what i could do to knowing who i was in Christ
and that he is my strength
and confidence.Now i know that without him i can do nothing in fact i am dependent on his empowerment through his holy spirit all the time in everything.In the weekend i was asked to lead the music at another church i attend multiple churchs although i attend two regularly one has services in the morning
and one has services in the evening so the two do nt really clash.In the weekend i was asked to lead the music its been two years since i did that
and i was worried on how i would go.All i can say is that it went really well
and because i stepped out in
Faith the Lord really blessed the morning to the congregation.The difference is knowing that i serve the Lord with the gifts he has given me but my heart has to be right
and when i do it in his way it builds up the body
and it brings glory to him.May the Lord continue to show you what he wants you to do even though others may not understand your reasons i just want you to know that you do nt have to pull away completely just
work within the boundarys that the Lord gives you
and do nt feel pressured by others expectations to do anything that feel uncomfortable.Be involved just as you feel lead by the holy spirit even if it is in a very minor way take small steps.regards brentnz

regard to my old nature it had power over me.i came to the point that i needed to do something because i felt like spiritually i was dying
and again it was by
faith in Jesus Christ that changed me
and that i admitted that i could nt live the christian life in my strength.Since then i have continued to walk by
faith daily
and i know what it means to be saved in this life we have power over our old nature through Christ that strengths us Personally i think this is a major reason why many christians are not growing
and maturing as they should.Many people are struggling in there
faith that is not how it is meant to be the word says we are overcomers more than conquerers through Christ that strengthens us.If you are struggling are you walking by
faith or just doing good christians
works that have no power to change your life Just admit that you cant do it in your strength let him empower you by his holy spirit to do what you cant.It has been a hard road to get here but i am never going back to living by
works when you find the truth there is no comparison brentnz
Phrygian to me i sense that you are struggling with issues in your mind that you cant reconcile
and these issues are affecting what you believe in your heart
and therefore your
faith in God.I had something similar happen to me recently
regarding the story of the demon possessed man at one point the demons begged Jesus to cast them into the pigs does that mean that Jesus was implicated with the
work of satan.It cast my mind into doubt
and then i began to question who God is.I prayed
and sort the holy spirit for an answer the answer i got was that Gods character never changes he is always holy righteous
and sovereign why else would satan ask for his permission.So the answer was that he allowed satans purpose to prevail so that we can see that satans intention is always to destroy it may well have been that the pigs were his anyway.As they were for the gentile nations who offered the pigs to their demon Gods.Just as satan can not change who he is the destroyer the thief the liar God can not change who he is when we realise that despite what we see going on in the world God is still the same yesterday today
and forever.The time is coming when those that have hurt others will be judged for there wickedness as we serve a holy
and just God.Just as it was in the times of Noah so it is with this this generation that as the wickedness reachs its zenith then the Lord will return to judge the nations.He is coming again
and we need to be ready it is not a time to be caught sleeping.brentnz
