Easter Sunday ServicePs John 05:04:26 We have the power of choice. God will never impose Himself on us – He gives us the power to choose. When we choose Jesus, He brings His life and puts it in me. He chooses to live in me. → The moments you have with God get recorded. * Ephesians 2:4-10 (NKJV) vs6 He has raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Jesus is the one who brought us hope. * Hebrews 9:12 Repentance does not mean, resalvation. If you are born of the spirit, then you are born of the spirit. What your heart is full of, your mouth will speak. Jesus doesn’t want us to be born again, but continue to live in the world, and in our old habits. Your memory is not equal to the stain. If your sins have been removed, then they can never meet your future righteousness. I might remember it, but to God there is nothing – you are righteous. The reason we continue to sin is because we’ve created a habit. The same power that has removed your sin, can also remove old/bad habits. (You have the power to say “No” to temptation.)→ Same power through the same blood. It protects me! If I ask God to do something according to His Word, He will do it. What in my walk with God is preventing me from knowing Him as the God of abundance. If I know Him as the God of abundance, then I will experience Him as the God of abundance. * Colossians 1:18 (NKJV) What we know Him as, we will experience Him as We transact with money. Jesus referred to the power of money. He said you will serve one of two masters – God or money. You will love the one and hate the other. * Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.* Matthew 6:19-21 (NKJV) We live double minded- we want to live in God, but we also want to live in the kingdoms of the world. We are being elevated into a place of authority and dominion. It’s time for us to wake up and no longer be dominated by the systems. Our prayers are working. He is answering us! We have the clout with God. We are a WOW people! My walk with Jesus is more powerful than my lack.

Sunday service 15.03.22 Ps John: We have an enemy and he is not going to tell his rules. Warfare is not fair. What war am I facing?• The wars of my soul. The first war is who is your Lord and saviour. The second war is who you worship. I am wearing a red coat – the blood of Jesus.→ Who are you worshipping? The enemy is after my worship. * Ephesians 6:10 (NLT) Our war is not against flesh and blood. When you’re training, you are not fighting.Fire in movement. What happens when you have an entranched mindset? You have to clear it with the blood of Jesus. God sent the ultimate weapon. Jesus! Jesus fought every battle I ever have to fight. “YOU WILL CALL ON ME AND COME AND PRAY TO ME, AND I WILL LISTEN TO YOU. YOU WILL SEEK ME AND FIND ME WHEN YOU SEEK ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART.” JEREMIAH 29:12-13 Capitalism is not God’s order. It’s a man made system.→ Money drives capitalism; it’s in the name. These are spirits that want to govern people. It’s fighting for my worship. Religion is from the devil. • We are constantly walking in victory! Religion puts traditions before my relationship with God.A war of worship! I comply to God! To live for God I first have to die to myself, then I create life. The battle comes to me because I have a red coat on.the blood of Jesus. The battle cannot take my coat, but it wants my worship.→ The enemy brings the fight to me. Put on your armor. The enemy can’t undo my salvation, but he can steal my worship. Where you put your money, that’s where your worship is. If you use your gifts for the kingdom, then you are worshipping God. If you use your gifts for your own benefit, then your worship is not going to God. All gifts were made for His glory. It’s all about worship. TRULY MY SOUL FINDS REST IN GOD;MY SALVATION COMES FROM HIM.PSALM 62:1 If you don’t worship God with everything you do, then all you do is just for self. When I bring my gift to the kingdom, then I’m glorifying Him. * I serve a living God. The blood is the most powerful substance on the earth. We walk in victory because He won!

God is full of surprises. He is surprising me!Speak with your mouth what your desire is so that you can confess that it’s yours. God takes your faith and your words, and He takes the Kingdom Currency and brings it to earth. First obedience, then the surprise. Obedience comes first.The blessings can only come from heaven if we obey!(circled) Obedience comes First.If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give your life to God, you will gain it.• John 8:12 – I walk in His life and light.I trust the Holy Spirit with my life. I trust God.I have to speak the Word of God that is in agreement with the prophetic word.• Colossians 1:12Darkness only has power when it’s on you. If it’s working in you. Even if you’re in the dark, you can still hear God.THE WORD OF THE LORD IS RIGHT AND TRUE;HE IS FAITHFUL IN ALL HE DOES.PSALM 33:4 I am one of the born again ones of Jesus.There is (no) darkness that can rule me!I have authority! I am blameless and without reproach in His sight. How do I see myself?→ Reconcile. We live in this world, but we are not of this world. If I have blame and reproach, then I’m living of the world.→ Restore friendly relations among people. To be compatible.He wants to reconcile me to Him. That which He has begun, He’s going to complete that work in me.I am reconciled unto God. We have to be the image of God on this – people have to see Him through me.Jesus gives me power through His blood. I can’t get any power without Him lending me His power.Borrowed power, grace applied. His grace is also borrowed power; but I have to transition from borrowed power to the power that’s in me because of His blood.Surprises come through other people’s gifts. When we bump into a gift, the blessing comes – that’s how the body works. Our gifts serve and bless each other.THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH AND SHIELD.I TRUST HIM WITH ALL MY HEART.PSALM 28:7 Jesus never brings complaints to us. He brought us life and light. He turns my complaints into blessing.He wants to give me the fullness of His life.I have to see myself the way He sees me.I’m speaking freedom, even before I get it. I’m speaking freedom, even before I get it. I am not true to my old self, I am not dependent on my old wine skin! Jesus, change my identity because I’m not holding onto my old self: my old wine skin.If I stay true to my old self, then I can’t let go of my old opinions. If I don’t let go of those old opinions, they will become my life! (I let it all go!)My faith in Christ will change my circumstances.If I continue to have my old opinions, then I’m living in darkness. The relationship is more important than being right or wrong. There are somethings I can’t bring into God’s presence – it will kill me! I have to speak the Father’s language. I see Jesus in others and not their weakness. If I speak to God about someone the way He sees them, then God will deal with me.IN HIM WE HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD,THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS, IN ACCORDANCEWITH THE RICHES OF GOD’S GRACE.EPHESIANS 1:7 If we replace God with artificial intelligence, then we will be of the world and not of God! We have to be (truth based) not fact-based! Speak the truth.The time is coming now to walk personally with God.Supported power to the power that is within me!I live on His power, not on E power.Let me know if you’d like this version saved/exported in a different format (e.g., bullet points only, verse list separate, or combined into one continuous page), or if you want the previous sets of notes formatted the same way.
First Week of Ixchange
First Week of Ixchange: My first week at Ixchange was blessed beyond measure. The first day, I was quite nervous for what was to come. However, from the moment I walked in, I felt right at home, and I felt so much peace- I knew instantly I was where God wanted me. I was so blessed in how everyone was being intentional with me and the other first years. They definitely added so much joy to my first day. I honestly thought we were going to be in back-to-back sessions the whole week. We did have a lot of sessions, but not nearly as many as I thought. It was nice having that extra time during the day to have been able to spend time getting to know the other Ixchangers, and getting used to the flow of the office. I had such fun moments having lunch with different people everyday- I enjoyed getting to know people at the lunch table. I had a few struggles this week; just having to deal with all of a sudden being around 60 people, where it was usually just me. I did say to the Lord before coming that I want to be stretched in ways I have never been stretched in because I know that’s how I will grow. One morning I was sitting thinking about how some situations that happened were hard for me, when the Lord asked me if I wanted to be stretched. I said, “Yes.” He replied by saying, “Well, then you have to allow Me to stretch you.” So, where my growth point now lies is in not complaining and sulking when I am being stretched, because I want to grow and go to new levels.
Farm Trip
Farm Week: From the very first day they told us we would be going to the farm, I couldn’t wait for my week to come. I knew going to help would mean a lot of work, but I knew how much I enjoy farm work, and just being on the farm in general. I really enjoy getting dirty, especially when I’m in clothes I don’t mind getting dirty. So I knew this was the perfect opportunity to get lekker dirty without having to worry. I was also very excited knowing that Mia and I would be going together. We had some fun conversations about all the snacks we would be taking with us – and we did!!! The first two days were great! I had so much fun working with the nastergal and sorting through it. I even enjoyed getting all messy and sticky from the nastergal juice. I had some fun moments driving on the back of the bakkie with Dunchan, one of Oom Loutjie’s ‘voormanne’, and we had some very funny moments of him trying to teach me, Zulu. The evenings with the girls were great fun. We had many awesome conversations and had great laughs about working with the ladies who were picking the natsergal. Almost every night, we made tea and sat around the kitchen table just chatting- this was definitely a highlight for me. On the third day, Wednesday, I felt so sick. I had a fever, my chest ached, and my nose was running a lot. It was hard for me not to feel well and be away from my parents. However, I was so blessed to have been around Oom Loutjie and Tannie Zelda, who are my family; they really helped me a lot that day. I still went to work in the nastergal field that day, but even though I didn’t feel great, I still felt God’s grace being there for me to finish the job well. The next day, I already felt a lot better! I was able to work without feeling sick. I did have a few confrontations with people – what a growth point for me. I was challenged with emotions, and I definitely had moments where I had to eat an extra spoonful of cement to grow a stomach. But every morning when I opened my Bible, the Lord took me to a scripture that helped me get over whatever I was feeling. I truly experienced the Word working because it is not about my feelings but about me being sifted to be lifted, shifted and to show that I grow! When Friday came, I was almost sad. I really didn’t want to leave! I enjoy the farm so much that I wanted to stay another week. This week actually just made me realise again how big a responsibility farmers have when it’s harvest time. It’s extremely busy! But even though it’s a lot of work, I could see how God’s grace is there for Oom Loutjie in harvest time. One day, he told us how much we actually help him and how much easier it is for him that we are there. I was so blessed when he said that. What a privilege to be a labourer in someone else’s field while they harvest their blessing! I’m glad we could serve him, even though it actually felt like he was serving us for making this opportunity possible.
