Good day...

2004 will be a year for more. More power, more glory, more manifestation, more saved, more filled with the Spirit, more healed...

Any doubts? I don't... I'm seeing changes in people I never expected would change. (that includes myself)

What is it to be Christian?
Its about acknowledging that we're saved and then worshipping God for His grace and mercy. And its about telling others about it as well.

How do you bring this message across without offending?
I believe we have to ask why it offends in the first place... Basically people don't like to hear that they're damned for eternity. It doesn't make them feel comfortable.
"I don't have a problem with you, why are you saying these things about me?"
Then there are those who say, "I've made it this far without Him, why do I need Him now?" Which in a way is true... Why would you? Why not wait until something goes terribly wrong then blame Him for it. Its much easier like that isn't it?

I don't believe that there's a surefire way to prevent people from feeling offended. After all, its almost like a conspiracy... People feel more offended by questions than by people asking to do surveys, or for donations. They're more offended by the things that matter. Things on TV, in the movies, on the radio, said by their friends and colleagues don't offend them half as much. They enjoy it even...
So how do you get past this? 2 things come to mind... Prayer and by speaking to their spirits... Cos their minds won't be able to accept it...

Practice again later at SCGS... Really really really want everything to flow smoothly. If we can't get it by today, i think i'll withdraw. Cos I don't want to spoil the concert for them.
