June 2009 Newsletter
As I look at a picture in a frame in the living room, my mind runs back to the moment and the feeling when it happened... to a stranger it is just a picture but to me it is so much more, it is a reminder of that moment.
In the Spirit there are moments that get captured in my Spirit Man: It may be a touch of God or a scripture that reflects Christ, but it leaves an imprint in my spirit. You see, what I am talking about today is that in life we forget so easily the good things, and remember those moments of pain and disappointment, the bad stuff come to mind when we are faced with struggles. Shouldn't we bring to mind the moments that changed our lives, the moments that made you love GOD even more?!
Paul talks about running your own race, not against each other or even for one another, I can't run it for you, I can't help you, it's your relationship with Christ that draws you closer and helps you in this race! Like with the picture, each one of us has our own pictures that are your own experiences. Sit down open your heart and let the Spirit of God bring it to remembrance, see that your heart is filled with the desire for God, but your mind needs a change.
I want to encourage you today to surround you with GOOD influences and counsel you to remove the voices in your life that speaks death and negativity. God has planted dreams in our lives, seed and promises, but we lack one thing, endurance! Hebrews speaks about this and says that we don't endure to receive our promises. WE GIVE UP!
Gods word is immutable, unchangeable and I what to ad - Un-mutable! It can not be muted! (Hebrews 6)
Today take your promise and stand unmoved!
Don't give up! And let us know about your testimonies...

3Minute UIT DIE PEN EN HART VAN ONS MENSE:
Hoe leer ek my kinders van die genade van God die Vader?
Deur: Stienel Thom (Mamma van 3seuntjies en Veearts in Strand)
Ek wil graag hê my kinders moet ander respekteer en ook entosiastiese energieke mense wees, maar wat is kinderopvoeding gehoorsaamheid teenoor "Grace"?
Hoe op aarde pas 'n mens die bogenoemde inmekaar en leer jou kinders maniere en beleefdheid, is alle mammas se bekommernis. "Asseblief" en "Dankie" kom nie vanself uit die suigeling se mond nie, dit moet ingeoefen word - soos menigte ouers besef na maande van probeer...In dieselfde asem wil ons as ouers ook die "Grace boodskap" aan ons kinders leer en leef, maar waar begin ons. My eerste tree was klein en eenvoudig sodat ek as ouer ook kon leer en daagliks herhinder word: Vertel hom/haar wie hy/sy alreeds is! Ek leer vir hul 'n rympie: "Jy is 'n Koning, Priester en Profeet van Jesus Christus" of "God is in my, ek sal nie bang wees nie" en wat van " Ek is vreugde, vrede en vriendelikheid - die 3V's"
Die kind wat nie gehoorsaam is nie, moet sy rympie 10keer opsê (saam met 'n ander straf natuurlik...) sodat hy/sy kan onthou wie hy/sy is. Of oefen 'n kreet op energieke speel dae: Mamma vra jy: "Wie is Jy?" en laat hy/sy antwoord deur die rympie uit te roep! Saad word in klein hartjies geplant...
Onthou: Kinders doen nie noodwendig wat jy as ouer Sê nie - hul doen wat JY DOEN!
Have Fun with your kids!
