Romans 7v15-20
I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, and what I hate, I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree the law is good. As it is , it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me, that is, my sinful nature. For I have tyhe desire to do good, But I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do - no the evi I do not want to do, this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it , but it is sin living in me who does it.
For a long time now, I have struggled with a paticular sin in my life that I cannot over come on my own and I still need breakthrough in this area of my life!
The word og the Lord says that his mercies are new every mornign and I am so thankful for that!
Through this DTS I really want to over come this battle in my life - the word of the Lord also says to count it all joy when we struggle because when we persevere God completes a good work in us and our faith grows stronger in the things of God.
Today we had our first proper lecture - yesterday was the start of our lectures, but everyone yesterday just shared who we were and where we were from and the motivation for us being here to do the DTS. It really helped us to get to know everyone more - it was soo cool!
I can't remember what everyone said now but it was still cool lol!
Today in our first proper lecture we were taught on the character of God and I didnt make a whole lot of notes which I will this time because I dont have the best memory, but we were encouraged about all thee characteristics of god, and that WE MATTER TO GOD!
Us..... sinners - he loves us - he loves me!
And his mercy is readily available!
I really want to desire to share God with others more the more I learn about his love because his love was made for the whole world!
Before the lecture we had a time of intercession prayer, that was cool!
We prayed for what God placed on our hearts - I didnt hear God or get anything from God but I want to grow in hearing Gods voice - and encouraging others when they hear him and I may not and things like that - to put others first before my own needs and desires!
To be more Christlike!! and selfless!
We are about to start 24/7 prayer where everyone books out the prayer room for an hour or more for two weeks - literally for 24 hours and 7 days a week praying for YWAM international, YWAM auatralia, YWAM townsville and familes and whatever God places on our hearts!
That will be very challenging!
Godbless
