Okay it's really late already and I should be sleeping, but my hair is damp and I'm still a bit bored so... whoo, I'll just post the notes I wrote down from today's sermon down for everyone (who actually reads this blog) to read! :D:D:D:D:D -really bored-

Oh yes do you know how wondrous Salonpas is! Zomg it's some big rectangle plaster-thing that you paste on an area (like your back) that is in pain and then there's heat (A LOT OF HEAT!) and then no more pain! Ahhhh. Must've stretched myself too vigorously today, HAHAHAHA. EXTENDED PRAISE & WORSHIP FTW BB. :D:D:D:D

NB: Salonpas is truly a gift from God wahahahaha. Actually everything is, but nevermind. :D:D:D

SO! I'll just type whatever's in my notebook. o: Might not link together because I also wrote down stuff that Pastor said, and yadda yadda. Whoooooo.

God knows the potential inside of me, thus He unleashes His grace into my life to unleash that potential. WE ARE DESTINED TO REIGN! WHOO! :D

Christianity is not about DOING, but about what He has DONE for us. :) It is not a RELIGION, but a RELATIONSHIP with Him! :D:D:D

And the one thing that stops grace from flowing into our life is religion/legalism. The opposition Jesus faced in His life was not the wayward people (sinners, prostitutes, tax collectors, etc) but the religious leaders and the legalistic, I-am-mightier-than-you people (like the Pharisees).

(Somewhere in the middle... out comes a) Correction is always out of love! (I don't know how that got there, or what that has to do with the legalism thing. Anywhoos. Good to know. :D:D:D)

In Luke 15, Jesus shared the parable of the prodigal son NOT for the sinners in the crowd (although it does portray how Abba Daddy still loves us although we sin), but for the religious leaders (portrayed by the elder brother).

If you want something before its season or before the time is right to receive, you will simply waste it away. (Like the younger brother wanting his inheritance before his father had even passed on.) That is why God doesn't always answer all your prayers instantly, but instead only when the time is right for you to receive.

Do not build your self-esteem/identity on what YOU do, but on WHO your Father is, and what HE has done for you! Don't be like the elder brother, complaining that you have toiled so hard for naught - instead, see that you are ALWAYS with God, and that what He has is also yours!
The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'
- Luke 15:21
Know that you are always heard by God. Have the identity that you are His beloved child in Christ, and that you can always call Him FATHER!
But the father said to his servants, 'Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.
- Luke 15:22
When you let God into your life, you are clothed with the robe of righteousness ("best robe"). He provides for your every need (the "ring" speaks of authority and provision), and protects you from whatever bad that comes your way, by putting "sandals on (your) feet", because only the SONS have sandals on their feet. :D

God is your identity and your provision~!

The Christian life is not about RIGHT and WRONG, it's about DEATH and LIFE. When God enters your life, He breathes His life into you - the God kind of life! :D And there is music, dancing and merry-making in the House of God!

I JUMP AND MAKE MERRY FOR I HAVE GOD'S KIND OF LIFE IN ME!

Religion makes you a very angry person, because it makes you always wants to justify yourself and your actions. But Christianity is a relationship with God, and not a religion! :) He pours His super-abounding grace and favour into our lives because He knows we NEED it. 8D

Whoo, to end off this post: I can't help but do RIGHTEOUS works for I am the righteousness of God in Christ! :)

Sabrina :D:D:D:D
