Don't force yourself to dwell with the mundane, don't force yourself to "accept that this is what god must want for me" when it makes you feel trapped in a prison. what does your heart tell you? what makes you glow inside? What makes you so joyful you can barely go without dancing? THIS THIS is what is wanted. Go and do it. the only one who imprisons you is YOU Why do so many think of how they can serve in the “kingdom’ but fail to see the kingdom all around them?

The Bible gives us direction and warnings to guide us in our everyday lives, but we have to read those directions before they can do us any good. In 2 Timothy 3:16–17 we read, "All scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It straightens us out and teaches us to do what is right. It is God's way of preparing us in every way, fully equipped for every good thing God wants us to do" (NLT). The book God has given to us is more than a step-by-step instruction manual for life. It is also a road map that will lead us to heaven after this short life on earth is over.

I am slowly understanding that GOD cares. But I am slow to grasp his invisable hand. Thank you for your ablity to say "what I need to understand about being a seeker of Christ". I prayed the prayer to have Jesus Shine in my broken life. Thank you again Living An Orginal Life

Anyway, the closing paragraph is so awesome, and the prayer from "THE CONFLICT" so powerful...what a simple, strong gospel: Erwin's words: And I want you to know tonight that no matter what you’ve done, no matter where you’ve been, no matter how much baggage you’re carrying, no matter how much guilt you’ve got, no matter how much shame you have, no matter how many people do not believe that you can ever be different - not even if you think you can ever be different – you are wrong; they’re wrong. Because if you invited Jesus Christ into your life and the Living God has come to dwell within you - You are NOT who you were and you NEED to know WHO YOU ARE because everything you are going to become is already inside of you, in Him. Let’s pray together: Who are you? Who are you becoming? If you’ve asked Jesus Christ to change you, right now I want you to speak into your own soul and say, 'I’m not who I was. I am who He says I am. I am who God says I am.' If you are here tonight and you’ve never trusted Jesus Christ with you life and you are trapped in your own skin. If you don’t like who you are and who you are becoming - then why don’t you become tonight who you were created to be - the person that Jesus can make you to become? I thank you Lord God that You didn’t come to reduce the amount of sin in the world. You didn’t come to teach us how to do sin management. You came to change us from the inside out. You tell us if anyone is in Christ, we are a new creation, the old has gone. Behold, all things have become new. And tonight we embrace that; we receive that. Even if all the data and all the experience and all the information in our life speaks to the contrary, we, tonight, declare we are not who we were - and all we need to do is become who we already are in You. And so we enter into the conflict even when we are conflicted. And we engage this battle - to allow who You have made us in the deepest part of our being in the inner person, in the inner core - Jesus we will go through the battle of allowing who we are at the center - to come and press against our skin and come out of our glands so that we sweat and weep and breathe this new being, this new self, this new human that we are. So may Your spirit bring us to life - that we might live - fully. Help us to know who we are; and be free from who we were. We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen Sorry i keep posting the transcribed version of the prayers, but it sinks in better so i have to retype the stuff that catches my ear.

Erwin’s words:
And I want you to know tonight that no matter what you’ve done,

You are NOT who you were and you NEED to know WHO YOU ARE because everything you are going to become is already inside of you, in Him.

Let’s pray together:
Who are you? Who are you becoming?

If you’ve asked Jesus Christ to change you, right now I want you to speak into your own soul and say, ‘I’m not who I was. I am who He says I am. I am who God says I am.’

Your time in your job could be the crucible that is preparing you for tomorrow. Keep the faith. God's mercy is new every morning. He surprises us with his faithfullness if we lift our eyes up take a first ... step. And Erwin, your "ministry" has resonated in my soul for a couple of years now via your podcast. Thank you so much!!! Be encouraged. I consider myself a podcast mosaic member. (my daughters joke about it). If you're ever in Boulder CO drop me a note - lots and lots of hot, aromatic, high altitude coffee here. Sir Jorge,
