Difference Between Christians & the Others

oookay im rockin' n' rollin' again. i felt i needed to blog about this because, well this topic needs to be cleared up. back to the basics i guess? differences i found were :

- we can see right from wrong, we know we are sinning. the blind who sin and are clueless are the ones who are the worst off.
- we can repent, we know we are sinning and we do something to try to stop it
- we realize that God's love is a GIFT
- we have the Holy Spirit
- we no longer work to please ourselves or anyone else, except for God
- we know how to use God's gifts to pursue his intention
- we dont love the "world"
- we can produce fruits of the spirit such as wisdom

___________________________________________________________________


now here we have non- christians, in atheist nature they see the world as a place to live as well as possible. without God life has no meaning. to go with that nice non - christians are subjected to help other people. you help people, people give you smiles, everyone is happy. cute. they do this for themselves, for self meaning. it feels good to help others, i know. by helping you think the world they think it will become a "better" place. in turn you can get some nice - ness back someday. just a simple cycle.
everything you do has a purpose, and has a reason. an undeniable truth. once being nice loses it's personal benefits, why be nice at all?

as for christians, we already know our worth. we love others and serve others because it was God who loved first. we only serve for the love of God and for nothing else. we don't love the world for we know its a tasty piece of bait laid out by Satan. we know what sin is, and we know what to do about it. we have salvation through Jesus.

in short, christians and non - christian are light years away from being even similar let alone being indentical. oh and i forgot to mention, "nice" is simply subjective, so don't kid yourselves now.

The Real Meaning of Christmas

once upon a time i believed a big fat ol' man came down the chimney every year on December 25 to drop some goodies for everyone, old and young, short and tall. chances are you probably thought the same too, way back then, or even right now. but regardless Christmas has nothing to do with a fat guy givin' pressies to people. quite frankly, i don't care if you're atheist, buddhist, hindu, islam or of any other religion if you're reading this, if you are one of these prepare to face the undeniable truth. tomorrow on december 25 is our saviour, Jesus Christ's bday. Jesus was born from a virgin's womb, in a manger (stable), in Bethlehem. the Messiah had finally landed on Earth's soil.

december 25 hosts the biggest birthday party in man kind's history. if you think Christmas is cool, the party in heaven will rock even harder. the point i'm trying to get across y'all is not just about saying 'oooooh' i wonder what i got for Christmas! it's about Jesus! and that is what i see many people are missing. giving and receiving gifts for Christmas is cool and all, and i do it too. but it is simply more than just that. Christmas is about being thankful that the Lord actually gave Jesus to us. so that we can live a righteous life and go to heaven. if we didn't have Jesus there would be no way we could ever go to heaven, we would all burn in hell for eternity. we should share this joy together and appreciate what the Father has given us and not try to take it as an oppurtunity to get new stuff. Christmas is this truly special time. the coming of Jesus brang many things, many great things to this simply unlawful world. we should rejoice and sing praises about these events, and be thankful.


yeah, i know today is christmas eve and maybe i should of posted earlier but i just couldnt get my thoughts all together until now. and it still seems quite incoherent. i pray that God gives you the gift of tongues and interpretation to decode my messy thoughts.

we can never be too thankful
*hoists a cup of pop* to JESUS everyone! (:
G'nite y'all and have a merry merry Christmas.

Comprehending 1 Kings From the OT.

so i played bible roulette for the first time in a LOOONG time - OT style. And the winner is ........ yep you guessed it, 1 Kings.

so here i am keeping the ball in their side of the court.
my take on chapters 1 & 2, here we go. *prays that i may comprehend*

so it started off pretty much saying how king David was sick and weak so this dude named Adonijah self named himself the king. the prophet nathan comes along and tells Bathsheba (Solomon's mom) to tell David to proclaim Solomon as king. meanwhile Adonijah is sacrifcing many tasty animals as to receive a blessing from an idol or the Lord himself. Later David anoints Solomon as king over israel and judah. Adonijah is afraid of Solomon now so he ditches. (end of chapter uno)

so now here we have good ol' David right before hes dead telling Solomon to obey God's will so he can prosper. so then look whos back, Adonijah of course. This time he is asking that Abishag (who looked after David before death) to marry him. Solomon swears to God that he should deal with Solomon very badly if his older bro desnt lose his life for this request. and Solomon is faithful to his words and kills Adonijah. Joab who conspired with Adonijah found out the boss was dead so he tried to run away from Solomon. but lol Solomon would not be denied. next thing you know, Joab is dead too lol. Solomon then tells Shumei that he will go live in Jeruselum and not cross the Kidron Valley ( dunno why, anyone know?) or else he'll die lol. so guess what shumei was in jeruselum and one of his slaves ran away. gee, gosh, golly guess what? shumei crossed the Kidron Valley to fetch his slaves and when Solomon heard shumei crossed the valley it'd be the third fatality in only two chapters. and it was. Solomon then was able to firmly establish his kingdom. theee end.


things to note about these two chapters is that the friends of God are protected by God and they're enemies are God's enemies. now you don't wanna pick a fight with an unbeatable boss right? so PREEETTY much its simply put like this? the people who belong to God cannot be touched by others. so its like a cast away your burdens thing also?

STAY TUNED FOR EDITS! there will be a few for sure...


G'niters (gee its late)

the old testament

frankly, i neglect the old testament at all for a couple reasons.
- now is now
- MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH more applicable to my life.

these are the two main reasons. there are some more but they had no substance so i shunned them from this blog.

the new testament seems to teach me more about how to be a good christian and that pulls me closer toward it. the old testament however has old rules which are now in the new testament are changed or "revolutionized" which led me to believe they are out dated and wrong.

me gravating towards the new testaments not meant to be. both testaments are equally important, just simply different.

Jesus Calms The Storm.

matthew 8 : 23 - 27 follow along y' all : D

23Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. 24Without warning, a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. 25The disciples went and woke him, saying, "Lord, save us! We're going to drown!"
26He replied, "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.
27The men were amazed and asked, "What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!"

at times where life is trialing you must have faith in God. you must understand that God has total control over everything. you have to just simply let go no matter how hard that is and just let God drive the car of life for you. because whatever God does for you is good, even though you think that it is horrible you gotta keep in mind that God loves you and is watching over you all the time.


the disciples in this case were weak in faith and scared for their own lives. to make the disciples faith stronger Jesus showed them what he was made of - he rebuked the storm and told his followers that the storm was a tiny little thing that they should not fear of. the disciples had feared to much for their lives yet they should of cared more about their relationship with Christ instead - or something of that nature.


do not resist God's influence in your life. let God work in your life. you should be a tool, reliable strong, powerful and unwaivering. think of yourself as a tool. are you rusty and might fall apart? or are you a tool that is clean, fortified and valuable - something God can use and rely upon. a good "tool" was Moses without a doubt. God told Moses everything, God could rely on him to lead His people out of egypt. if i were a screwdriver, moses would be like a 5 in one lol



the gist : dont worry about things - God will provide
- let God control your life, dont solo it.
- dont stop God's infleunce on your life
- if you love Him he'll always be by your side <3 (forgot how to make a heart : P)

Me & God songs

a bit of a relaxed post lol- the last couple were pretty tense when i read them. here are a couple songs that are like "our" songs haw haw : D

- You Raise Me Up by Josh Groban, I'm strong when I'm on his shoulders
- Superhuman by Chris Brown ft Keri Hilson, He was the one who made me superhuman
- Ordinary Miracle by Sarah McLachlan, to realize how beautiful God's creations are and not take them for granted.
- World On Fire by Sarah McLachlan, He will provide during hardship.

even though you wouldn't consider this "christian" music it still has value because that is how me & God spend our time. good example for me dbz.

torn two ways.

so today we got our report cards back. i knew i wasnt gonna be the 13 A student like last year so i prepared to be disappointed. my english is horrible, ms.ionescu is so primitive. my french is also horrible because ms fralick hates our guts and has issues.

so during science i wrote on my hand "all for christ". i knew i wasnt going to get something on my report card that favoured me, for a fact. but this time i was prepared to take a fall. fast forward two periods and we get our report cards back. so i openned it up and lookie whats inside. big arsed asian failure. lol- i wanted to scream. i wanted to rip my heart out. all do the crazy crap. but i held it in. i wasn't going to show everyone how weak i am. i wanted to hold everything in check yet truely i wanted to just let it run wild and just go with the flow.


im torn. between God and the world. i want to love God but the world is on its knees and pulling my sleeve. i know my relationship with God is RIGHT, but i'm still tempted away by the worldly matters. this is just how weak i am. i need God in everything that i do, and i dont know how i could do anything without him. falling to sin is just simply not an option, in an

the light at the end of the tunnel~ 81.5% average. enough to stay in the honor roll. enough to improve on. time to move on with life and God.

the cost of discipleship is everything. it drains you. you can't look back. you will be rewarded.

untitled.

i just realized this will be my 20th post. well i realized i havent blogged in a looong time. i had a longing to return here and scrawl down all my thoughts and now finally i can.


the presence of God in my life is inconsistent i admit. sometimes i hold the sword of the spirit aganist temptations and other times i fight blindly with my own fists. but aganist anything ranging from temptations to evanglism i also try to remember that only christians have the power to persevre. when you perservre it is like fighting a war, you may lose battles but you still havent lost the whole war altogether. even though you've had some casualties at the mid point of the war, there is still a chance to win. what i mean by this is that even when you're fighting temptation and you're losing you still have a chance to find God once again and win. though if you do fall down you're gonna have to analyze what had gone wrong : did you not rely on God to fix things? did you give up because it seemed to difficult? fix it, keep on moving along

rough rough rough round the edges

so ive been looking at the case of false teachers and was going to blog about my first in counter with a false teacher but its very hard for me to do. i have never touched the subject. not only that the guy i was gonna blog about had said a lot and had no justice in it. its an intricate matter. but why im blogging about this is that God told me to leave that for another day. he wanted me blog about something else thats happening in my life.


so you know me. i fight for what i believe in, try to get good grades you know normal stuff. but then theres conflict in every christian's walk. sometimes i feel im very far in the walk and sometimes i feel im justing starting out again. its frustrating sometimes, but then again i like challenges. if we were perfect what could we achieve? im a conflicted guy. when bad things happen i A) get angry B) get frustrated a whole lot (goes hand in hand with A) C) the worst: my mind goes totally blank and i look away from God and focus on the crap. A & B are fine but C is what disturbs me. everytime i get frustrated i always look at how to fix the problem quickly and efficiently without any help. its like an instinct. its not until hours or even days that i notice what ive done wrong. and me typing this blog right at this moment is a classic example. in enochs blog he says when we should be closer to God but instead we are farther than we should be.


my walk is complicated. when i first started off as i christian i was at the beginning of the bridge. i stayed at the beginning for a very long time. i guess during the years of 4 - 11 i took a few steps but not by much and then i stopped again. then i started to walk and walk and walk and i started to notice the bridge was getting narrower and narrower. then i fell off the bridge. i started back at the beginning. i struggled to get up. i started walking again i was back at the point where i had fallen. i took two steps and fell off again. sometimes i feel like i dont even make it back to the spot i had fallen to which makes me have the feeling to go back to the 'basics'. as i said earlier if you are being challenged you should feel some content and realize youre getting stronger from the experience even though you keep messing up, if you try you will come through. perserverance will make you whole and lacking in zilch.


G'nites by the way i wouldnt mind hearing some of your walks ;D

aganist all odds

so recently ive gotten gunned down a lot. my arms arent fairing very well in volleyball. lots of stupid kinks in my elbow and wrist this week. couldnt volley at all. then i had the most crappy arse math test ever lol~ had some serious remedial. its gonna scar me for a long while. considering math was one of my "assets", not anymore. recently it occured that ive looked on to the crap in my life that was happening and trying to stick bandages on them and not asking God for help. i openly admit i neglected God. i went from a high ish high to a low. just like the economy. when i was looking at the bad things i realized i wasn't perservering. i was hiding in a corner trying to recuperate myself aganist all the odds. i wasnt recuperating at all, i was angry, i was confused, i was scared the things i wouldnt show anyone never. except for God. he knew. he saw. he understood. he forgave. and for that i am grateful. it is also very interesting how easily i break when im being trialed. im so un godly it isnt even funny. just one of the many things i need to look into. hopefully i will survive the storm and reap the goods just like good ol' job did back in his day. pray for me faaaanks.


off a similar note im trying that God factor to school so now im doing school "with" God in a respect than to just solo through school like before. its not wisdom unless its the godly type.

Gifts and Faith

the thing i concluded the past few days was that the ones with the strongest faith had the most gifts. as you can see Jesus on earth had the best- est faith you could possibly have. so he obviously had the most guns. he could move mountains and do it all. i have also found that the disciples had even greater faith after Jesus had died and ressurected and then left for heaven. then again i wouldnt know why their faith would be weak because after witnessing all those miracles it cant be "coincidence" anymore it happens because someone did it. it just wanted to get this out to you all. annnnd make sure your faith is accompanied by faith or else it just useless poo.

Spiritual Gifts

Christians all have different gifts that God gave them but we all share a common spirit, the Holy Spirit. In the body of Christ we have a common goal that unites us, yet we are all different because we all attend to the same thing. We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. Romans 12: 6 some gifts i can name are : prophesizing, healing, evagelism are ones i can list off the top of my head.

heres a perfect analogy from 1 corinthians 12: 14 - 27 its a bit longish : 14Now the body is not made up of one part but of many. 15If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. 16And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. 17If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? 18But in fact God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. 19If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
21The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" And the head cannot say to the feet, "I don't need you!" 22On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, 24while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, 25so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 26If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
27Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it (boom) it is long as i said.

i myself have not identified my spiritual gift yet. please pray for me and those you know in this situation fanks. very soon ill be covering what gifts God gave to his disciples ;D an interesting topic no doubt.

Burn Brighter.

so sometime ago, one of my friends at school (whos aethist, pardon the crappy spelling) told me that i talked about christian stuff a lot more outside of church than she'd seen other christians before. so as you can probably guess i was sad that other christians werent as outreaching but on the other hand i was content with the fact that i had grown. i used to have trouble telling others about my christian life or sharing the gospel.

we as christians are like a bonfire. if we retain ourselves so that we dont burn up more stuff and grow, we either stay the same or we get weaker. so thats like us. we keep our Holy Spirit at church, we keep everything God related in church. the thing is we cant grow like that. we could never grow like that. once we step outside we apply what we God teaches us with the world around us and that is how we grow. we will inevitably fail but we should learn from our failures and keeping walking forward.

G'NITE PEOPLE.

shoulda laid this down earlier.

Christ is not honored by celebrating Halloween. Replace the celebration of Halloween with something completely unassociated to it. You can make it a family night and do something special together, the PRINCIPLE OF REPLACEMENT. Romans 12:21 teaches "Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good."
Certainly remove the bad. Explain to your children why you are not celebrating Halloween any more. BUT then replace it with something that will glorify God (I Corinthians 10:31). Be creative. Make what you do more fun, yet honor Christ. Have a harvest party where you focus on Christ the creator and his provisions for you. Have a Christian video party. Have a glory gathering where Christian songs are sung and the word is preached. Get a group together and go from door to door and pass out Gospel tracts then meet for a time of fellowship afterward.
Prayerfully consider what Christ would have you to do. May your desire be that of James, "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you." (James 4:7-8).

no claims on the above. annnnnd no names as usual. as the title says i wish i had posted this a couple days ago. or maybe even a week. as this pargraph says we shouldnt rejoice in Satan's wickedness we should overcome the Devil with goodness and righteousness, something that would glorify the name of God.


anyway on the a similar note. i had my own battles to face. my fight with Satan was still on halloween and it was inevitable as joanie had said yesterday at sevenup. the 31st was eventful, the dance was on that day. my job in the sac. that day was to help setup and do other random jobs. we had a classroom party which was ho lame ah. then later the dance rolled along. the dance was more or less atrocious. girl with girl slow dancing and four people dancing like what the frig? i sorta have the idea that it wasnt meant to be that way or maybe im aganist homosexuals? anyhoo it was pretty bad. i felt so disconnected from God. my Holy Spirit waivered. it was a horrifying experience for sure. but i felt disconnected in a way that i did not know i was sinning. in other words i was running around like a mole, but with none of its other senses. i was blind. was this what hell is like? because it seemed pretty ugly.


all in all a deft experience. g'nite for there is church tommorow

A Blog Burrito.

i prayed last night to God about what ken talked to me about. How to recruit soldiers of Christ. God spoke to me and said one word. Perseverance.


Perseverance : steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc., esp. in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement (dictionary dot com lol)

A seriously awesome chapter on perseverance : James 1:2 - 18. and thats where im going to base this blog on. mostly ;D

so if you've read ken's blog you'd know that he had posted about how to spread the gospel more efficiently. the only problem is that human's do not like change. at all. period. if they do become christian they have to go through drastic change. they need to devote a lot of time to God. they need to go to church. and thats whats most popular with my friends. what is also a very popular excuse is that they dont have time and that they are very got up at school or have better things to do. im starting learn how to sit . not doing any work on sundays (my sabbath) and also making time for God. way easier than last year because my new homeroom is a bit of a slouch. hahaha. but i still have much more to learn down this long and winding road. my problem is that when i try to get people to seek Christ (especially very immature people, you know who you are) attack you by saying God doesn't exist, or that science makes the world go around or something of this nature. and as we all know that is just ludicris. this is where perseverance takes place. you should know when to stop poking whoever if you know they're annoyed by you, but you should never stop trying. leave them alone and then try again later, much later in some cases. perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking in anything. have patience. keep praying for them and encourage them to seek out Christ. dont think that they may fall into the "darkside" forever and be condemned.


to bring in more christians is to saving them from multitudes of sins. those who arent christian are blind and wandering in darkness. they commit sins and do not know that they are sinning. from enoch's blog : Only those that know of the sin can remove it but only those that remove that which blinds them will see new things and clearly. so this means that these blind people will be able to open their eyes a little once they accept that they are sinning and accept Christ as their saviour (part uno) . and now they have to learn how to repent of their sins and rid themselves of idols and so forth.

also make sure that you include God in this. you need him more than you think. it is through him that it is possible to break through to some individuals. dont try and "muscle" or "solo" it by yourself because you will fail. epically? lol. faith without deeds is dead and deeds without faith is dead. by the way if you dont catch my drift its faith=God and deeds=us. (christians)


here are ken's guidelines to evanglism?
1) somethings not right with us and our world 2) The world was meant to be good 3) Sin and its effects distorted the world we live in now 4) In Jesus, God has taken the initiative to fix what we broke 5) God will one day make all things right 6) Meanwhile, God continues to redeem his creation in the present 7) You can respond to God's offer of new life


PRAISE GOD!

meditation.

i find its really hard to meditate when you hear things around you. like those things are trying to tempt you away from meditating or blocking out God's voice. i just tried meditating in my room with no avail. there was my bro showering. and television was on and i could distantly hear cars drive by outside. i read ken's post on meditation and he was at a beach, no cars no people just him and God. i like that. but you can't get that in toronto. tomorrow ill try meditating at a park after school and see how that goes.

keep your eyes open n' g'nite all.

random?

boys n girls i hope when you are reading my blogs you are ..... READING AND REJOICING in the truth :D lol just a random thing i wanted to point out.

PRAISE GOD and all will go well ;D

Seeking God.

are you seeking God? today in my sunday school class i realized that not many people are. we were meditating and listening to what God told us. some (no names as usual ;D) i found were blocking out God. they simply didnt want to listen to what God said. God always wants to talk to you because He loves you no matter what, even if you commit a multitude of sins. i saddened that some blocked God out. it also occured to me today that a lot of people in the class still had idols. and yes i know that its impossible not to have an idol BUT last time i checked they still had the same one. i think it was enoch that told me this : if you have an idol you should wipe it out. then a new one will come forth and you should wipe that one out also and it repeats. and this is why it disturbs me slightly some people still have the same idols. please pray for my class fanks.

it seems the class is actually moving backwards instead of forwards. but God knows what steps should be taken to help us accept him. what i can also confirm is that God will also speak to ken and the Holy Spirit will help guide ken to teach us.

another thing i wanna say. i took a look at ken's book Kingdom Come by some japanese guy? i just looked at the cover and i saw a great message. the cover was a nutshell cracked open in half revealing a picture of the Earth inside. for those who still dont get it lol. its simply meaning that everything inside the world, worldly things to be specific dont matter its all in a nutshell. once you break free you can see the real treasure that is heaven. matthew 6 : 19 - 24 an indepth analysis. verse21. for where your treasure is your heart is also. this verse touched me. if your treasure is on earth your heart is to money and worldly things. and if your treasure is being stowed in heaven your heart is in heaven with God. this is something i think a few people overlook. just because its worldly some people are like bah its not an idol ;D (though they certainly treat it like one spending more time with it than God) people lie to themselves with things like that and i guess you could say it troubles me to a certain extent. and then the chapter goes on to say that one cannot serve two masters he will hate one and love the other. loving God and hating the world in other words. in the next chapter the title reads "Do Not Worry" it talks about if you love God he will provide for you no matter what the instance. food, shelter, clothes whatever... God will provide. at the end of the chapter it says to seek God's kingdom first and all the luxury will be finally given to you (in heaven). these two chapters seem to go so effortlessly hand in hand its beautiful.

the verdict is that you shouldnt be worrying about physical needs if you love God because he will provide, he is the overflow. you should also be storing your treasures in heaven and casting off "treasures" the baits that Satan uses to lure you away from God for this is the way to get the treasures in heaven.

Pray for my class, and ken. G'nite all.

Faith and Deeds.

back to the basics guys n' gals. by the way if you wanna follow along the chapter is James 2: 14 to 2:26.

SOOOO anyways. long week this week, madness. it seems like im ailing at everything. went from a 3 time honor roller to a fart. totally zoned out during my french periods : P not good considering its my WORST subject. ahahahaha im gonna drop it when i have the chance ;D . hard week consisting of 2 presenatations and a hecka lot of work sheets just cause my homeroom teacher was away for like 3 days lol. to top that off i had two presentations on the same day. snaaaap. but its bitter sweet like everything i do topped off with a P.A day my little cherry on top.

neways people. i hear a lot of people say get well soon (gws). ive found something to pick at once again har true. when i hear people say get well soon to me im like " awwww thanks ". but it doesnt exactly help. in james they have a little story talking about a pair of siblings one of them is poor and sick. the other sibling says : go, i wish you well; keep warm and well fed. hopefully you're thinking what im thinking and you're thinking this dude is an arse. of course you can wish them well and stuff but what are you doing to relieve them of their physical needs?

and then in james they go on and talk about abraham and how he sacrificed his son issac because the Lord had told him too. as he did this his faith and deeds worked together as one. hebrews 11:19 Abraham had faith in believing God could raise the dead and he did because God is so awesome ness :D

okay boys and girls listen up cause this is a little story that happened today in my life. so today for the last period english we had about 10 ish minutes left so we went up to the library to go exchange our books ( if we even brang em lol) a friend of mine ( no names :D ) asked me to help find them a book called Giver. so being the person that i am before i saw this particular revelation i was like : uhhh. good luck.

and now i totally regret saying that after what God has revealed to me today. i have learned what helping truly means. the next time around. ( why is it always the next time? ) i open endedly help ( with faith and deed) for faith without deeds is dead and deeds without faith is also dead.

i have just realized i have poked and biten a lot of people with this blog. those who are offended sorry in advance and those who see the truth as i do, good job ;D.

not included in the clips below... cell is teleported away by goku who sacrifices himself for the greater good. cell pops out his second ace, he reveals that he can respawn even if hes dead. with that he tries to indirectly hurt gohan by shooting vegeta with a energy blast. gohan takes the shot for vegeta saving thus saving vegetas buttock. but because gohan was so generous hes fataly wounded. heres cell's chance to finsh the kid off so he does it in style letting off one of the biggest kamehameha waves in the whole dbz series. gohan is totally defenseless. goku in the other world contacts gohan and tells him to retaliate by kamehameha ing as well. at this point when i first watched it i was like O.O is the guy nuts O.O if you check out the video, gohan is firing with one arm and also most of his gas is sapped from fighting cell before. but goku motivates gohan and motivates him even though gohan sometimes thinks he can't pull through. at one point near the beginning of it cells kamehameha wave was friggin huge compared to the dinky ish one gohan was letting off. but as goku chilled and reassured gohan he began to have the edge he needed aganist cell. and at last gohan wipes out cell for good.


from this we learn that we need God more than anything in our epic and everlasting battle aganist satan. of course we all probably knew this but it certainly gives me a totally different perspective and understanding. what we should also learn is to never under estimate the devil. he knows the bible better than us. he cheats. he lies. he DEFINATELY has more than one ace up his sleeve ( prolly more than 4 because hes a cheater) we will need everything in our fight aganist him.

and a note to myself. for the past few weeks i have claimed i have not learned anything from kennys classes because i said i had already learned it. like this blog here i already knew that i should never think that i could beat the devil alone or not need God. i knew all of this. what i found to this was a new edge. a new way to look at it. this is why God's word can be studied for infinite years because you can always find diferent things from it. and in ken's class from now on and forth i will always try to find that particular edge that has not been touched upon.

and heres the last part with the kamehameha ing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-aWFSPvyn0

Gohan vs. Cell.

heres the links to this utterly epic ish fight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbjcVbZmqa8&feature=related -- first part http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmymrLHT3zc&feature=related-- second part. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqv6ifgPTx4&feature=related -- thrid part.

before this fight gohan had buffed himself dramatically, super saiyan to super saiyan 2. gohan is much like us, aganist our battle with satan we attempt to take ourselves to the next level hence ss2. but it wasn't enough in gohans case. when gohan continues to battle cell ( satan) it seems like he has the upper hand. hes literally beating the poo out of him. but then again, gohan under estimated cell. because of his buffed strength he quickly became cocky and did not realize that cell had an ace ( two actually) up his sleeve.

once gohan had beaten the poo out of cell enough he lost a tremendous amount of energy. this is when cell shows his first ace. even though he is weakened he turns himself into a huge bomb capable of blowing up the earth. doing this cell probably think he's gonna break even kill all the Z fighters and everything they care about -- sidenote

i once heard pastor tim say that God cannot be hurt in any way. what he did say though was that He could be hurt if the ones He CARED about were hurt. so if God sees us messing up he feels sad :(. this is one of the ways satan tries to break even with us. the guy cant hurt God directly but he can hurt the ones He cares about.

later me go sleep. i will blabber on tomorrow?

fruits of the spirit.

they are: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self- Control. One is like a tree, if they dont bear any meaningful fruit they will have to be cut down. this is done so because a dead tree's roots will still be there even if you crack off the top ish part leaving a stump. if you plant a brand new tree next to the one that had been cut down it will not be able to grow. the plants roots cannot fully spread out because there is still the roots of a bad tree lingering around. if the roots of these bad trees still exist they will torment all the new innocent trees around them, restraining them to reach out to God.

Some see God as only a shepard, though there is another side the tree cutter who cuts down unproductive trees. hopefully brothers and sisters you will not need to see this side of God. Fear God and Love Him and he will help pull you through times of hardship and trial. Strive to bear good fruit.

G'nite. :)
