Hello!!! Sorry it's late this week peeps!!! Doesn't time fly!!

So this week we had the YWAM team in and they showed an amazing drama. Basically there was a guy and he was living, what was to him a "normal life". This "normal life" was first a typical party scene, which lead to drugs. Then a bad relationship, where the girl rips his heart out. What he doesn't realise, is that all these things are sins, which lead to death. Another thing that he doesn't realise is, actually, angels where protecting and praying for him.
Towards the end of the drama the "demons" or "sins" consume the man they bind him so that he can't even move. But God intervenes and the angles kill the demons and unbind the man. Giving all the praise to God.

There where also testimonies shared, where God overcame Depression and resolved issues in people's lives.

If you can see repetition in these blog posts, then maybe God is trying to speak to you! If you do have any questions the leaders in youth are able and willing to answer them.
God loves you do much, he's reaching out his hand. All he wants is for you to reach out and except him.

Jeremiah 1:19
And they shall fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you, for I AM WITH YOU, says the Lord, to deliver you.

At Bible study this week we talked about a heavenly perspective!!! and how as people we can only see a canyon with a really big bolder wedged in the way!! But God sees the canyon from a birds eye view. And he sees how small the bolder is compared to the jerney that's after it. The bible says he sees the beginning and the end of time. But it also says that God sticks closer than a brother!!!

For people who don't know Jesus and Jesus' love, the bolder is building up and building up. They look for Love in different places or people; when Gods actually holding out his hands, saying "here I Am".
For people who do know Jesus, the bolder crumbles daily. As soon as you get over the bolder you can carry on your walk!! God will give you situations and tryles to build you up and your gifts and talents. But that bolder was crumbled by our all loving Jesus when he died on the cross!!

That's just what I got from the bible study. But if you want to know more, ask one of the leaders in youth... They will be blessed to share with you and answer any questions you may have.

God Bless!!

So Diana spoke amazingly on Friday night, about David and Galiath. What I got from it was there are Giants in our lives such as alcohol or difficult relationships. But there is nothing that can come against us, and be victorious when we live in obediance to the almighty God!!! At the end of the day he's creator of heaven and earth!!! The main guy!!!!! How amazing that David a small boy, could take down a 3 meter tall guy, with a single stone!!!!
