Perfecting Holiness- Day 7

“I’m pregnant with Purpose & Destiny”. Well that was the topic this morning spoken by our Youth Vice President Minister Dr. Karen DeLisle. She is such a humble, on fire, Woman of God. You can’t help but love her. God is going to have such a reward for her in heaven. The message this morning was a good one. She said that my cousin (the preacher in the making) and my other friend were pregnant with purpose & destiny. It’s so easy to see God moving in their lives. They can’t deny it. Sometimes I wonder if I have anything to do in God’s kingdom. I don’t want to be a prophetess, a preacher or minister, but I would like to know what job God has called me to. But I won’t fret or give place to the devil. I will wait for God to reveal it to me.

Perfecting Holiness- Day 6

Today was Open-Air Service. That is when we have our service outside the church on the street. It was a lot of fun, we were dancing in the street, singing and rejoicing for the world to see. It was a great service. Afterwards, I rehearsed with both the girls and the womens' Praise Dance Team. Let’s just say I was exhausted by the end of the day.

Perfecting Holiness- Day 5

AMAZING! That’s all I can say about tonight’s service. The speaker was an awesome, on fire, Man of God! He was really a teacher more than anything. He was teaching the youth about letting go of certain things in our life. All I can say was it was AMAZING! Tomorrow is outreach service; we are taking it to the street. The Minister’s wife wants me to design for her, I have a new client! I am so excited! Off to work!

Perfecting Holiness- Day 4

I….need…..caffeine…bad. I have been drinking tea for the past 3 weeks to show to the Lord I can give up what I depended on the most. But because of the Youth Convention, I have been sleeping for about 4-5 hours a night max. I am so tired, its not even 10:30 in the morning and I can barely keep my eyes open. It is so worth it though. Last night service was amazing. The topic was “It’s Time to Make a Move”. I am telling you that after last night, I can really say the Youth won’t be able to go back to how they used to be without consciously knowing that is not where they are supposed to be. Apostle Stanley Gorrell was an amazing speaker. It seems to get better and better everyday!

Perfecting Holiness- Day 3

Tonight was very good. I know that doesn't quite sum it up for you but it seems that I can't find the words. You should have been there.

Perfecting Holiness- Day 2

Last night was amazing! Minister Courtney Bradley (True Worship; Brooklyn, NY) was a great teacher last night. I love when the word isn’t built on emotions and yelling and shouting but part of the worship experience; when the service is done, we can still enjoy the fellowship. His topic was “Perfecting for the Effecting”. My favorite quote for the night is “Just like oxygen is for your natural life; Holiness is for your spiritual life.” I like that visualization. It makes you look at things differently. Later today is Day 2. I want the Lord to move like never before in the Youths. I want there to be not just an emotional experience but an experience so life changing that they can’t think about being in any place but in the presence of the Lord.

Perfetcing Holiness- Day 1

“Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God” 2 Corinthians 7:1.

For the next week, the youth at my church will be having our Youth Convention. Our theme this year is “Perfecting Holiness”. Looking at the theme and than taking a look at myself, I can’t help but wonder: “how can I perfect something that I totally suck at?” I am an honest person, and I will be the first to admit that everyday is a constant battle to just stay holy and pure in deeds (forget about thoughts, lol), and I feel the only way to be able to win that battle is to ask God constantly to renew your mind and thoughts. Everyday is a new day. We must constantly seek the Lord to keep us, the minute we don’t we leave ourselves open to the adversary.
