Okay, so the title might be a bit misleading, but it’s still about acceptance. I am someone that has a lot of questions, analyzes and overthinks things. So of course I will have a lot of questions about what I believe, about God, why some things happen and why some things don’t. One thing is physically healing. Why doesn’t everyone get healed and why does it sometimes feel so complicated to pray for someone to get healed? The first day of teaching in Johannesburg God answered both questions. The second one He showed me...

I think one of the best things to hear is your own name being called out. There is an automatic mindset of feeling important without even doing something. Somebody is recognizing me... This is probably how Moses felt when God called him from the burning bush “God called to him from within the bush “Moses! Moses!” And Moses said, “Here I am” (Exodus 3:4). Just imagine that feeling of being called by the Creator of the universe. The funny thing is Moses did not know what he got himself into but that is the beautiful thing of being “called.”...

Availability and not ability What a time we have had in Johannesburg with Brian and his team! It was truly an amazing experience where we learned so much about ourselves and about God and his plans for us. I personally learned so much about how God wants to use us in our everyday life’s. I learned that it is not about our ability to do things but about our availability so that God can do things threw us. We saw some truly amazing things, such as healings that took place, people getting...
Words running around in my mind. Uncertainty pumping through my vains. Thoughts of what God should look like. Sometimes we put God in a small box and we limit Him on what we want Him to do in our lives and not what He wants to do in our lives. I realized that I was so focused on the things of this lost world and who the world thinks I am that I loose sight of who God really is. May I lose everything that I am and who I am and gain everything of who HE is...
I decided to come to Global with the mindset to grow as much as possible, I realised in order to achieve that I had to give it all over to God and trust Him fully in whatever He says, even though it might not make sense at the moment. I was definitely challenged and tempted to just give up and fall back into the way I always used to do things, but even through that God worked for my good! He showed me how to give my stuff over to Him. How to talk to Him about what...
Over the past month my world has been flipped upside down! Things I thought I knew, I realized I had no understanding of. One of these concepts was love. It mentions in 1 Cor 13 how important love is and all of its fruits of it such as kindness and patience. This is the type of love my heart so longed for and desperately wanted but unfortunately I found myself falling back into the old, cheesecake type of love. This type of love is cheap, doesn’t last long and only speaks with words and not actions. It was a...
Have you ever had the experience where you’re thinking about something and then you realize, how can you think that you are thinking about something? Wow , what an amazing feeling. Scary but incredible. Every time that I find myself thinking about something, I just stand in awe of the absolute majestic feeling of being able to think and the idea of that just numbs me to stop and think... The scary thing about life is that we are so busy and when we’re not busy we are busy making plans for being busy. Just thinking about this idea makes me...
