My Spring Break is over, because I’m back in San Antonio. Mmm, such fun. I signed my lease for The Reserve for next school year. I’m so excited because it’s new and cheap. HURRAH!!! So this Spring Break, what did you do? You wanna know what I did?

 

I met someone famous!!!! =) His name is… JESUS!!!! I received a new revelation on the Power of the Cross. I learned more about Praise & Worship. I learned how to choose band members, and how to choose songs, submitting to authority, and I witnessed miracles. This conference was called “Inside Out”, and my Spirit was stirred and I was surely turned inside-out. I shall share with you some of my experiences.

 

Night 1:

The first night, it was an introduction to 5 Bread & 2 Fish. A group from Vancouver, Canada. They talked about how secular things were a hindrance to youth. Many people nowadays seek for the things of this world, let me tell ya something. It’s temporary. All the materialistic things, all the money you earn, the titles you earn, the degrees you earn, the big house you buy, the nice car you have, it’s all temporary. Those are the things that measure your success. But those things will fade away.

In the Bible it says “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.” Matthew 24:35, Luke 21:33, Mark 13:31

Think about what’s more important, the things of this world, the way people see us, the things that we hold dear, the “success” we have on this earth, how rich we are, OR what we do for our Lord? What is more important? One of the pastors said “Life is not about success, it’s about significance.” WHAT you do during this lifetime, if you use it wisely, or if you just sit around and throw your life to waste. We should live for Jesus, and in the end, that’s where the REAL success is. Getting to Heaven, living your life to the fullest, to when you get to Heaven, and Jesus asks you what you did, you will have NO REGRETS, because you will know that you gave Him your all. Humble yourselves before our Heavenly Father, do not be prideful, for the Least is the Greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.

“Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 18:4

These are the 3 steps to knowing God:

  1. Listen
  2. Experience God
  3. Testify

Many people stop at the 2nd step. Why? Because they’re scared. Jesus says, Don’t be afraid, I am among you, what do you have to be afraid of? We are in the end times, there are many people that will be willing to accept Jesus Christ. Then you ask, then what’s the problem? The problem is, people are too scared to go out and tell them about it!!!! The Power is there already, the thing that determines the activation of power is US taking that step.

“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.” 1 John 4:18

“The Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore GO and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And SURELY I am with you always, to the very end of the age.‘ ” Matthew 28: 18-20

He promises that He will be with us ALWAYS, till’ the VERY END OF THE AGE. WHAT are we still waiting for??

The cross needs to be in our hearts. Not just there. Many people see the cross and they see it around so much, it doesn’t mean anything to them anymore. We know the whole story, and it’s just like, oh okay, it’s there, it’s holy, yeah, okay. The cross, I get it. I know, I was there once, before this conference. I read about the Cross, and I understood it, it was like, I was immune to all that went with it. I was immune to the PASSION that was involved in the whole process. The PAIN that was involved in the whole process. I prayed this prayer: “Lord, I want to experience your cross once again, I want a fresh revelation”. My eyes were soon to be opened.
I will stop here but I will made another entry another time. =) I SHALL FINISH what I learned at this conference. The best is YET to come!

Hello blog-world. :-) I’m new to this so please cut me some slack. :-P

My name is Kristina, and I love God, so I’m guessing these next couple posts should either be “inspirational” or dorky. Hence the quotes. =D

I don’t exactly know what to say… because I wrote a lot in the “About Me” section. So if you wanna know about me, there’s a schlew of things about me, you can go read that. =)

So like, I’m guessing over the next few blogs, I shall talk about my daily life, or whenever it is I get a chance to update, or when something aMMMMMMazing happens, and maybe be able to challenge some of you guys to become more intimate and draw into a deeper knowledge of Him as time comes and goes and RUN after Him as if You were running a marathon! Keep persevering!!!

I would just say to live your life for God with no regrets, thinking about if He were to take you away to be with Him, if you would be standing in front of the door, and have Him say “Well done, my good and faithful servant!”

We need to realize the finality of this time. We are in the end-times, so we need to get ready and continue to prepare ourselves. If you haven’t started preparing yourself, start now!! Don’t waste another minute!! But not only do we need to prepare and spend time with our Lover, we need to GO and make disciples and tell the whole world that Jesus LIVES!!! It’d be selfish to just keep it to ourselves doncha think? YEP!

So I do hope my posts are worth reading, and nothing short of encouraging and motivating. I hope that they motivate you to want to do better. =) Sometimes, I read back on my prayer journal entries and I see how I’ve grown, and it encourages me and pushes me to grow more in Christ. It’s awesome!

I think that should be all that I want to say today. I have to get back to my readings … or more like start them.

Til’ Next Time
