When peacemakers plant seeds of peace, they will harvest justice (James 3:18)

When I seek peace, and I pursue it, why do i? most of the time I do not seek it in order that I may plant it elsewhere. I seek it for my own rest, my own contentment.
Jesus help me to want the peace you give me to be only a demonstration of your goodness and power – not something I keep to myself but something I pass onto others or to the land – for you to be seen as beautiful.


The prayer of an innocent person is powerful (James 5:16)

The more I think about it the more I think it not entirely impossible that god may group people together in the assurance that one kind of sin is particularly non-existent in each person – as in, one person who does not struggle with lust will be present in every group within the body – or someone who doesn’t get angry or overly proud…..would it be that god positions his people so that we each have access to one “innocent person” who can pray for us in the given power….was talking to matt about it a bit the other day, and now with this it makes good sense to me.
Jesus please put in me a hunger to always know how to pray – not just when but for who and about what….sounds simple but this would change everything for me and the people I know…..help my mind to start to understand and see the perfect ways in which you strategise and plan…we need to cover one another more in prayer – help us to see who is the absolute best person to pray for who…our prayers are random and kinda haphazard, compared to what I’m starting to think they could be…help us to be more purposeful in this more conscious of each other and yet not wanting to be the first to jump in a pray – but waiting for the person who will pray the prayer most effectively….crap its all very complex….

Man, just read my “utmost..” (still not sorry, resa!{love you})for the evening...he talks about our lack being what gets us to god – not our decisions or our goodness….he says that it is in our unconscious actions that we most influence others – because this is where it is Jesus at work for sure and not us…..he says “if we are conscious of our influence, it ceases to have the genuine loveliness which is characteristic of the touch of jesus”..
Shit are we in trouble….
I know that of late I have balked at the words of others when they tell tales of what they prayed well for someone, or the positive influence they were able to have over a person or in a situation….shit I so do not want to be the person that dos that anymore….god seriously, even for the most basic reason that the more we are so overjoyed at having prayed/prophesied the exact right thing over someone, the more it shows how extraordinary that is to us – this needs to be breath to us, man, the most normal occurrence of everyday life…knowing what god wants and praying or being it into action…..
It should not be something so unheard of that we can then distort it so that it goes down on our score sheet……..Jesus come on man, how low can we go…? Please help us know what to speak aloud for the encouragement of others, and what to store in our hearts like Mary – and what to not even recognize – I jus think mainly our minds need cleaning out , well, ok, let just say mine, cos shit, I’m not meant ot be preaching at anyone right now….this is for me, god, I don’t wanna throw whatever good you do in my life or through me back in your face by owning it and triumphing over it…….
fink that's about it for today...
