Leaving - Corrinne May

By Daughter Of Sarah -
There's a comfort in this darkness
A familiar road
though i know that you are no good for me
you're a false alibi
you hypnotize and you keep tempting me
to throw away eternity

Time to wake-up and shake-up
'cause you've kept me right under your spell for too long
your promise is empty
go dig your claws in somebody else
'cause it won't be me

i'm leaving
leaving this path behind
don't need your sympathy
i'm leaving
don't try to change my mind

it's a new day, a new way
change is never easy enough
but i'm not giving up
see i'm growing and i'm sowing
seeds of life beyond this shell
i'm going to be free
breakout from this cell

leaving, leaving this path behind
don't need your sympathy
i'm leaving
don't try to change my mind
i'm leaving this path behind

shake my faith
you're never gonna break me
take my strength
you're never gonna make me
turn my back away from the truth
i won't play your games
i'm nobody's fool

i'm leaving
leaving this path behind
don't need your sympathy
i'm leaving
don't try to change my mind
i'm leaving this path behind

i'm leaving this path behind
i'm leaving this path behind
i'm leaving this path behind

==================

When I heard this song, it reminded me about what I walked away from - a stronghold of melancholy and angst and self-pity.

I used to, as a teenager, enjoy basking in the sorrows of this world - thinking it was what life is all about. That darkness did seem so comforting - it felt like a darkness that understood me. BUT I realised that it was a darkness that trapped me in it. I fed on the darkness and it fed on me... not healthy at all. Is it no wonder that the enemy wants us to remain in that sad bleak existence? The joy of the LORD is our strength, and as long as we remain in that grey storminess, we will remain weak and lack the Spiritual strength to stand up against the enemy as he robs us blind =p

Now I know better and I am not going to turn back to that old way of thinking and living. I've left it behind and that's that. I am a new creation in Christ Jesus! AMEN!

So the enemy sometimes tries to be funny as he always does - trying to shake our faith in the Truth, trying to suck us back in to our old ways. But praise God, my strength is in Christ and I won't be "suckered" into playing his games...

Neh 6: 3 is the response we should give to the enemy when he is trying to 'be funny' with us -

"I am carrying on a great project and cannot go down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and go down to you?"

Sermon 31/08/2008 - Pastor Lian (NCC)

By -
Pastor Lian has been in NCC for 20 years!! Joke- There was this really old obese lady who was so fat she had serious heart problem. One day she had heart attack and brought her to hospital and she died on op table. She came face to face with God and said sheepishly I guess my time is up… and God said no you are still young you are only 50 plus and you are a NCCer - u can live till 120 years. She woke up and told the doctor and told the doc she just want to have something else done. So she had an extreme makeover. It took a few mths and as she stepped out of the hospital, a car knocked her down and she died - God was as surprised to see her as she was to be back there. Just then, the angels sheepishly admitted - they could not recognise her. Lol. ---------------------------------------------------------- From young, Pastor Prince has always said - "God said", "God can" - he has always possessed a good opinion of God. 14 years from moving to The Rock location - 2 x 7 ...

What the Anointing Oil is & Prayer for the Anointing Oil

By -
Pastor Prince from New Creation Church has recently called upon the church members to use the Anointing Oil to bless every area of our lives. He had gone to Tiberius Church in Indonesia and seen how the anointing oil has made a difference to the Christians there. The senior pastor of Tiberius Church, Pastor Yesaya Pariadji, had been led by the Father to get his church to use the anointing oil radically. He had a vision of a biblical quotation when he was still not yet a Christian - he had no idea what it was. When he became a pastor, he finally understood what it meant. He felt very led to get his church to use anointing oil so they went ahead and used it; their testimonials are plentiful and amazing. Pastor Prince being a huge believer in Sola Scriptura, decided to discern further, pray about this and read up on the scriptural references on Anointing Oil before telling us to use it. He believes in doing things biblically - meaning we can be radical in our faith (for example our churc...

You have Comeback Power - Joel Osteen (Transcript) Pt 1

By Daughter Of Sarah -
I like to start with something funny - I heard about this pastor, he decided to skip church one Sunday and go play golf. He told his assistant he wasn't feeling well and he drove to another city's gold course there so no one would recognise him. He teed off at the first hole. All of a sudden a huge gust of wind caught his ball, carried it an extra hundred yard and blew it right into the hole for a 421 yard hole-in-one. The angel looked at God and asked, "What didcha do that for?" God smiled and said, "Who's he gonna tell?" Alright. Hold up your bible. Say it like you mean it - “This is my bible I am what it says I am, I have what it says I have, I can do what it says I can do. Today I will be taught the Word of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive, I will never be the same. In Jesus’s name.” God bless you. I want to talk to you today about how you have Comeback power. We all face situations that seem like they could bury us - the...
