This 21 days as got to be the strongest yet! But to me, it is so much more than cutting off things, but what I'm doing to replace it..
I've done things very differently, my actions have been different, so is my level of sacrifice but as each day goes past, I see that there is something more I can do.
My level of sacrifice must go up, I did to feel the pain, as if I'm comfortable, my spirit is uncomfortable..
Every day I'm increasing, and in this final week I'm going to do more than I've done in the past 2weeks because I want to become SPECIAL. Not before man but before God, I want Him to see that I have no limits and that He can use me for anything, I don't hold myself back, a real Woman of God.
Oh, but there's a price to pay: SACRIFICE.
If you know that your not feeling the pain of your so-called sacrifice, your not doing enough, and this will just be one more purpose in the church for you, but if you say that your prepared to do anything for God, so He can become YOUR God, you need to pay the price.
I'm paying, and it hurts, but I have the assurance that I am on the way to becoming special before His eyes, what about you?
This is not for everyone, but for those that want more of Him, its mandatory.
How's your level of sacrifice? Think about it!

Our Daily Sacrifice
This spoke so strong with me from a good friend I had to share with you..
Food for thought:
"Our flesh will NEVER want to submit to our spirit and the Holy Spirit.
Our flesh will ALWAYS feel tired and defeated
Salvation will NEVER be easy
The devil will NEVER stop accusing
And were NEVER going to FEEL like sacrificing our will.
But guess what... The work of God will move on.
God doesn't need us, we need Him.."
Our flesh will ALWAYS feel tired and defeated
Salvation will NEVER be easy
The devil will NEVER stop accusing
And were NEVER going to FEEL like sacrificing our will.
But guess what... The work of God will move on.
God doesn't need us, we need Him.."

Are we really friends?
I was just about to go to bed when I began to think about my day, how productive it was, who I spoke to, etc and I just reminded myself to pray for my friends before I sleep.
Now I'll be honest with you, this is not something I do everynight, or everyday I should stay because to me praying for your friends is not just including or throwing them into a prayer you are already making, taking the extra effort to really speak to God on behalf of your friends to ask Him to really strengthen them and keep them strong with Him.
I mean, how many times can we say that we do this? I don't just mean when there's a situation in their lifes, I mean in general.
Once a Pastor we had in my church in a meeting told us all to pray for eachother everynight, by name. I mean, we were all friends but this is something we we not used to doing, and only after the prayer did we realised how many names we left out! It makes it more personal and shows more of an effort! No they will not know what your doing for them but you and God do, that's all that matters.
In order to have a great friend, we need to be the great friend we want to have, so how can we consider ourselves to be good or great to our friends if we don't even take time to personally pray or even fast for them?
If we can do for a problem, a soul and our own spiritual lifes then why not a friend?
The love for a real friend is shown by the sacrifices you make on their behalf without them having any idea!
This is something I will make sure I'm doing from now on as I want my friends to be blessed and remain strong with God
Food for thought!

Self Discipline
How many times is it easier to take the option that is easier for you?
Many!
I learnt this the other day and wanted to share with you all..
Without even realising on a daily basis we need to make many choices, and the outcome will determine the result of our lives right?
So how to know when we are pleasing God or pleasing our flesh?
If what we do allows us to stay in our comfort zone, with no attempt of any real effort we find that we are pleasing our flesh. If we are constantly pleasing our flesh, we are not pleasing our spirit
When we do things that allow us to come out of our comfort zone and really push us, has somewhat form of sacrifice we know that we are not pleasing our flesh but we are pleasing God.
This however is not the case for all things!
There needs to be a balance, we should live with the right amount of both. Not constantly doing things that are hard for us so we don't ever relax and bring results to our body that could of been avoided, but at the same time to not allow our body and flesh dictate what we will do.
We need to be wise, and above all make sure that our choices are bringing forth a good profit.
