Another day...

Had another awesome conversation in R.E today with the class, only one more day before half term!!! In exactly one week and 4 days my parents will be in India for 2 weeks and some family friends are looking after us. I heard about this Christian youth thing happening for a weekend but it is whilst the are away so I'm not sure if I can go yet :/ 
I'm really excited about it though; it's aimed at youth who really want to see a change in their schools and communities, which is exactly the type of thing I want to see more of in this school! It looks really good, I just pray that I'll be allowed to go! I know I've said this before, but God is really doing some amazing stuff in my life and in this school so it would be a great opportunity to get equipped for what God is going to continue to do!


Change of conversation, but sometimes I just want to get out of this culture, to go somewhere else where people aren't driven by their job or clothes or money or any other material, worldly 'goods'!  But to be driven by Jesus!! Or rather, I do want to be in that type of culture, to help change it and tell it about Jesus so that they will be driven by God but I want to be surrounded by change; change God's way, to really see the difference that God is making through me. I know, I know I've seen 3 of my friends saved this year, what more can I expect, yeah? Well I do expect more!!! God is absolutely amazing!!! He loves us sooo much, so obviously he's going to want to talk to us and wants us to talk back. "Ask and it shall be given". I'll tell you something; If you expect God to do great things every day in your life and you just simply ask him, he is going to do it!! In Mark 16 vs 15-18 it says: 15He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. 16Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well." 
Doesn't that say it all? I expect God to be changing classes at a time! For there to be healing on the field and in the classrooms, for people to be baptised in the holy spirit and for our whole school to be crying out praise to our the Lord our God! Phew! Went on a bit of a ramble there.. but I'm not sorry!!! God deserves our undying attention, he craves everything we have! When we get rid of all the worldly junk in our hearts, it gives God the room to work, to fill us with his love, grace and mercy! God has given us authority to heal!!! "In my name.. they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well." Praise God!! He meant it then, and he means it now, it didn't stop 2000 years ago, it is just as real today as it was then, and we have a bigger population now! If everyone on your street became a Christian and then each of those told someone about God, and it just carries on and on and on! Jesus said he's coming back after the whole world has heard about God; what are you waiting for?!!! Pray for opportunities to speak with people about God, and then pray for more!!!
Seriously,


What are you waiting for?
