I woke up with the wind today--it was sooo so loud! However, something had to motivate me out of bed this morning :) Studied a bit today, but mostly I spent the day at Suncoast One Conference!
I've heard some really awesome speakers the last couple days. So good. I guess I could quote some highlights:
Dan Lian was the main speaker for the night...here's some paraphrasing of his messages
--God shifts something in a person before He shifts something in a culture.
--In response to those who say Christians are just brainwashed: Everyone in the world gets brainwashed by something...the only decision we have to make is to be sure God is doing the washing
--You ARE (present tense), the LIGHT of the world---God has destined us to be noticed, helpful and useful for His glory
--Lights need both intensity and positioning to be effective
--To have confidence in God you have to keep a clear conscience..God sets the standard.Our conscience is cleared by the blood of Jesus.
--When we do things wrong our "hands" may be dirty, but were still saved. God has given us responsibility for our actions, or hands, but He takes responsibility for the cleansing of our heart.
"Give us clean hands, give us pure hearts"
--Jesus comes to you--He pursues you
--God sees us as we can be, not as we are.
--He calls us out on our sin because He loves us that much!
--He calls you out, and then calls you to Him.
Quick overview---it was a great night...God was really moving everyone. It's exciting!
Me mate Nate let me drive his car today! haha..I just went around the parking lot, but It wasn't as weird as I thought shifting with my left hand....super weird! He was a brave man for letting me drive haha :) I HAD to drive in Aussie land at least once...had to.
Said goodbye to some of the Suncoast people tonight...a bit depressing, but it was a lot of fun meeting everyone :) Last Sunday at Calvary tomorrow---now that I won't like. Good thing is, I can't wait to be back to the homestead. Just think, next Sunday I'll be in Sydney at Hillsong, and then the week after that I'll be at Grace Ministry Center in good 'ol Wadhams! Hard to believe!
Alright! up bright and early tomorrow! Peace!
