HOW DARE THEY! :(
i am nearly on the verge of tears. i'm that angry and upset! iwas looking thru people's blogs and found a link to www.blasphemychallenge.com . these people are trying to bribe people to sin! they are trying to get people to denounce their religion and deny the Holy Spirit! and what do you get if you do this? A STUPID WORTHLESS DVD THAT IS FULL OF THEIR PATHETIC ARGUMENTS THAT GOD DOES NOT EXIST!
They're doing this because of the verse from Mark 3:29 'But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin'. are they not aware of how powerful God is? are we as christians so shy and meek that they think that God is like that too?
GOD MADE THIS WORLD! He's brought fire down from the sky to INCINERATE those who have tried to rise against him! He has FLOODED this world! he has sent countless plagues! he has WIPED OUT nations! He is ALL POWERFUL and MIGHTY! and most importantly of all he is the GOD OF LOVE! so why on earth are these people trying to mess with him! Jesus died for us so why on earth are they trying to hurt what God loves most? us?
i've read their websites and they're asking for sientific proof of God's existence! you can't prove or DISPROVE God with science! God Made science! i'd go on but i have to leave it here.
please i beg of anyone who reads this do not fall for the devil's trap, do not give up your faith for a piece of pathetic plastic that will oneday waste away!
yours in God, love alana

what's important
it really is when we draw closer to God that the devil will try to bring us down. i've lately had to come to terms with the fact that what may be important to me isn't as important to those around me, eg. God, honesty, love, soldiership, etc. it's funny when you find out that what you might hold close to your heart others hold as far away from theirs as possible. recently i've found out that a decision that i am making for God hasn't really got all of my friends enthusiam. it hurts, but it's helped me to realise that as i'm drawing closer to God the devil is trying to attack me and the weapons that he is using are my friendships and in the end the only thing that matters is Gopd. i can't wait until all my friends are interested in God and me becoming a soldier to do it, because i'm making this choice for God. so i just thought that i would say that instead of being defeated by the devil's attacks i've grown closer to God! and it's awesome! sorry to blab on. lol.

i'm gonna b a soldier!
hey there everyone!
just thought that i would a blog on ME BECOMING A SOLDIER!
i'm so excited! i can't wait! it's happening on the 3rd of june @ greensy salvos @ 11am!
be the or be a.............rectangle? lol. square! i was talking to a friend the other day and we were just talking about what it means to be a soldier etc, etc. ani feel as if i'm more excited now than when i first decided to be a soldier! if u come on sunday then you'll hear my testimony, if not then here's a little sneak peak: God has put the salvos in my life and the only thing that i'm sure of concerning my future is that they're always gonna b in my life! just like God! becoming a soldier means sharing the news of God to this world, it means holding true to the beliefs of early salvationists! it means that i get 2 wear a uniform, but it also means that when people see me in that uniform then they will hopefully know that they have found someone who will help them the best that they can, that will lead them to God, that will be there for them, that will not judge but openly accept them. i can't wait for this part of my journey with God to unfold, so whoever reads this if u want to come then please do. ither way plz pray that God will use me in the salvos.
thanks all.
love alana;-P

GOD ANSWERS PRAYER! YES HE DOES!
God is amazing.
just thought i'd start off with something we can all agree on. lol. for those who aren't aware that i went to the salvo easter camp...i went 2 easter camp! it was absolutely amazing! although it took a little while for it to get that way. at the start of camp i was in a major rut. i wanted to go home and never speak to anyone ever again. mainly because every where i turned there were friends fighting and i just couldn't find the love of God present. i was even starting to question my future with the salvos. and so i decided to give it to God and see what he could do with my life and present situation. on the first night i wrote down a prayer to God. i forgot about it and found the prayer a day or two later. i was so shocked when i read my prayer. even though it wasn't that long ago so much had changed! it was as if i had fallen asleep carrying a whole lot of burdens and woke up completely free! pretty much everything that i prayed for God has given to me. i prayed for certain relationships to be healed and the other night i found out that they pretty much all are! i prayed that god would help me not to feel so depressed at camp and now that i look back i can see that i came out of my shell in a big way! i can't think of a better way to celebrate easter than to spend it with a whole bunch of christians at camp. i will admit that i am a camp nut. hope u've enjoyed me blabbing on. lol. god bless and never be afraid to bring even the smallest things before god in prayer.
alana.
ps. remember, if you give a problem to God you have to leave it with him. worrying about it constantly is just showing that you don't trust God.

Emotions of the cross
yesterday i was reading the book of John, particularly near the end where it talks about Jesus' death. i was using a devotional book and it had some amazing questions in it that really made u think. after i read the passages, i read the questions, they were like: 'where do think Jesus's desciples were?', 'what do you think was going through Jesus' mother's head?', and a whole lot of other ones that really made you think. too often i read the bible, but all i'm doing is taking in the words. when i did this i was looking deeper into what was going on and it brought to life the fact that the people back then actually had emotions. i urge you to find a good devo book to read WITH the bible, not instead! it helps u to understand and think about things that you may never have considered. well just thought i'd say that.
the reason that i was reading that passage in particular was because i didn't want to get to easter camp and realise that i was only really caring about easter because of camp, i wanted to show God that easter meant more to me than eggs and camp and that i was thankful for what he had done and that i wasn't just a camp christian. try reading the passages about Jesus' crucifixion and ressurection and question what each person would have been feeling at each point of time and what you would do in their situations. how would you deal with watching Jesus die? what would you have done if God told you to go through what Jesus went through? i think that we can take easter for granted, sometimes we need to stop and think about what really happened.
just thought i'd blab on for a bit.
c y'all @ camp!
love alana

what gives u the right?
i'm not in a very happy mood.
lately all i ever seem to hear is people talking of taking other people's lives or hurting other people or friends being threatened by other people.
what on earth is going on here?
where do we get the right to even think about hurting someone else?
God puts it quite clearly when he says 'it's mine to avenge, i will repay' (kinda rephrased?)
and where it says in matthew chapter 5 or 6 about how even thinking evil thoughts about ur brother isn't good.
so what's going on?
r people saying that they want to hurt someone, but they think that if they don't think about it then it's ok?
Romans 6:23: for the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 3:23: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God!
and i'm pretty sure that there's a commandment saying 'Don't murder!' and 'Love Your Neighbor!'
so before u even start to think about hurting someone maybe think about the fact that ur not perfect and that God is the only one who has the right to give life and take it away.
because each time that a non-christain sees a christian act in this way they get the impression that God is just a God of hate.
ps. will admit that i'm not perfect and get angry to, but u mst remember not to let the sun go down on ur anger! (oh look, another part of the bible! fancy that. lol)
i think i've made my point. lol.
love y'all,
alana
ps. i'm happy now.lol:P
