Deliverance and Healing

Deliverance and healing... What is the difference between the two? Have you experienced either one? Do they both happen together? Just some thoughts to ponder if you care to engage.

Obsession

Maybe only Ben and my mom know this about me but now you all know it too. I get obsessed. It only takes a small idea or thought about something; a trigger goes in my brain and BAM! I can't stop thinking about that idea or plan or project or person. It happens very quickly and then I drop it just as quickly as I picked it up. Some funny obsessions I've had, the time I wanted to be a goat farmer or sew clown dolls for a living or redecorate my office into a African straw hut. yeah those are the things I've never actually been able to get to but there are other things I go in and out of obsession over, sewing projects, scrapbooking, global issues, music, computer games stuff like that. When I am in one of these "obsessions" as I am calling them I don't think about a lot else and a lot of the regular day to day things I should do get left undone. I mean I really devote myself to the obsession. Whether or not these obsessions are good for me or not I don't know.... I guess too much of anything can be a bad thing.... but there is one thing I know is great to be obsessed over and that is GOD... I want to be obsessed about God, More of him and less of me.
So this is my thought and challenge for this week - Become obsessed with God.

someone wake me up!

I really want to keep this blog rolling and I am not sure why but it challenges me to think about what is happening in my life and reflect. Really it is for myself I guess and if someone else is able to be challenged and reflect as a result then God be praised. So here I am awaking after a long night of rest....

The spirit has been moving around in me rearranging furniture. I feel a tad violated but yet I know this is what i want... at least I think so. We can't go with God and stay where we are.( so says Blackaby) That is what I am learning from the Bible study I'm in. Going with God's plan is going to cost. I guess the question remains am I really going to pay up when the collector comes. and then I love the quote I read by David Livingston "Forbid that we should ever consider the commissioning of the King of Kings a sacrifice, so long as other men esteem the service of an earthly government an honor."
What kind of cost would I consider so costly to serve my King, in light of the sacrifice he is for me and the privilege he offers me in serving him?
