The meat of the word
My 2015 Car accident
It was a rough time in my life. It was May and I had decided to enroll in a prophetic school to bide my time and to help me get over a failed relationship. I don’t know why people seem to think that when they’re ready to give someone else hell that that is a time to start a relationship. If you can’t even believe God loves you how do you go about seeking out a relationship. It beats me. At any rate.. It was over and I tried to focus on the future but try as I might I couldn’t get over the blatant disrespect for what I stand for and am trying to do in this world. It all seemed to revolve around weather or not I had left the teaspoon in my cup while drinking coffee or not. It also seemed to revolve more around what her friends thought of me than what she actually thought of me.
Quite frankly , if your friends don’t have guts don’t make that my problem. Spending the rest of my life trying to please someone who doesn’t really understand what faithfulness really means wasn’t going to be my problem and in the end I couldn’t help but end the relationship. It hurt like hell because I really loved her but between her dishing out slaps to me in public and her blatant disrespect of my boundaries I had decided that enough is enough. Telling me that there is something wrong with me most of the time didn’t quite sound like the nature of a ‘ prophet ‘ to me. The ex used to believe she was a prophet in case you’re wondering why I said that.
While attending this prophetic course , I was told by yet another clueless bimbo who was into Arthur Burke that I was cursed by this woman I was in a relationship with. Really ? Is that what they teach you in prophetic school ? Such a load of trash it has never been my misfortune to continually cross paths with. And it seems to permeate the whole arena by people who refuse to listen but think they’re somehow been gifted to speak into people’s lives. Listen, do me a favor , if you can’t say without a doubt that you know where you’re going if you die and that God unconditionally loves you , don’t speak to me because you’re going to get your ass whipped. So , on my way to prophetic school one night a taxi decided to do a u-turn in-front of me. I hit it at 100 km an hour and the car which I had been married to for 14 years came to a sudden and fatal end. Just before hitting the taxi I told myself ‘ oh what the heck , it’s ok ‘ And that , my friends is how its done. It isn’t ” Oh my God , I still haven’t listened to Arthur Burke CD number 20001 ! “. That woman who told me I may be cursed literally cursed me by telling me what she believed. It didn’t stick however because I came out the other side after hitting that taxi with 15 people in it with nothing but a slight bruise on my forehead. Arthur Burke 0 Jesus Christ 1. I re-iterate , there is nothing you have to do to be saved. Just trust God for heavens sake.
I spent the whole night talking to my sister on the phone the night of the accident. I went to bed at four. At seven o’ clock I decided to phone someone I thought was a friend only to be told ” Nick , you know you should drive slower , perhaps if you’d listened to the Holy Spirit you’d have avoided the accident. ” Really ? Did Jesus not listen to the Holy Spirit and that’s how He landed up on the cross. Such ignoramus’s . I don’t consider the speed I was doing speeding . I was actually happy with my car and one block before the accident and decided that I was going to keep it. There was a red light flashing on the dashboard that I couldn’t seem to fix but otherwise she was ok. I had just refurbished roof lining.
I don’t want to have anything to do with women in the church anymore. Especially the one’s listening to Arthur Burke. You don’t seem to get that you can’t listen to ‘ teachings ‘ to get yourself into a better space with God. Rather use scripture on it’s own to convince yourself that it is finished . The cross is all that matters , and no I am not concentrating on one head of corn. ( my ex seemed to believe that all I knew was the gospel ie. the one head of corn and the bread of the rest of the word I didn’t know) . I have studied the word for more years than she had been baptised but she still felt the need to insult me in her prophecy group by saying ‘ there are other mielies in the field ‘ . Surely they ordained me a minister of God because I know a little more than the cross , but this she even questioned. Only Arthur Burke and university degrees count you see. I digress…She used to wake up and say ‘ read the word ‘ . I know the word , I don’t have to read it. He , The Word , is alive in me ! I know myself !
Anway , thank you for costing me a car and for almost ruining my life but what the devil purposed for evil has instead become a testimony of simple faith in Jesus Christ.
My testimony is this , not even a taxi doing an illegal u-turn in front of me can separate me from the Love of God which is in Christ Jesus. I moved that entire taxi out of the way without so much as hurting one person. The tax was still in one piece and hardly looked damaged. No One Died Praise Jesus !
Be an original
Sometimes we just have to remember who we are. It doesn’t help to wonder who we could have been. Or who someone else sees us as. I know who I am and the fact that I don’t verbalize it all the time does not qualify me as stupid. I think people would be surprised to know what occupies my mind most of the time. And perhaps some day they’ll have the opportunity to find out. I don’t appreciate people who think and act in a way that suggests that others around them are just plain stupid waiting for their need to issue an order. Such people would call themselves ‘leaders’ when in actual fact all they are is arrogant and ignorant. We don’t need your orders and we don’t appreciate your insecurity. Every person they perceive as a loser that surrounds them is indicative of their own inability to see the magnificence of every person given by God as a gift to us. Just because someone can not calculate the shortest path to victory does not make them stupid. It in fact could be because of their intelligence that they don’t arrive at the ‘correct’ answer as quickly as you do because they consider more factors than you do. But you’re too busy judging and assuming to understand how they operate. And just because their views are not mainstream does not even less make them psycho. The only psycho in the room is you because you embrace a lifestyle that kills people without knowing it. Wake up and smell your burned flesh melting as you consider everyone else to be a loser while you embrace your plastic surgery and need to dominate. One day soon everything you stand for is going to come crashing down around you as you wonder how it all got to be so. Your moral compass is off !
The ‘designers ‘ of the world are idiots pandering to their built in need to be accepted. Everything they do is designed to make you waste money faster. It’s designed to make you feel ‘out’ just as soon as they change what their latest idea of being ‘in ‘ is. The fact that you can be so stupid as to buy jeans with holes in them already means you’ve seriously got some messed up values. Who spends good money on jeans that are already used in order to feel ‘ in ‘ ? The joke is on you and the designers and bankers are laughing at you. Just look at what they wear when you’re not looking. It certainly isn’t ‘stone washed’ or sand blasted clothing. Oh no, but you’re so cool . You’re a ‘leader’. You’re nothing but a puppet to them.
The real value lies in seeing your own value apart from the worlds need for you to conform to their thinking. Why not trend something unique and bear the brunt of their scolding. It won’t be long before someone imitates you. Because this is the real need people have. They’re looking for someone to follow.
Be an original version of yourself and not a copy of someone else. Take some time to decide who it is you want to be.
Long time no post !
Hi People ,
I’ve been bogged down with many little foxes. Some of them have taken allot of my time and made me very frustrated. I have overcome ! Yes ! My car had to be be practically rebuilt. It started with the humble carburetor and ended with the right fender being dinged . I replaced shock absorbers and mountings , control arm bushes and rack and pinion. And then last week the unthinkable happened. My core i7 dream machine decided it was going to break . It’s just been one heck of a ride but now it’s over. And I’ll be able to focus more on the network. I just need to deal with some unruly neighbors and things and then I’ll be able to function better. I guess I should say that I need to win some neighbors over to my way of thinking because I don’t quite think that fighting with them will help , even if their actions are intended to make me feel less worthy.
So expect some more good news and growth next year . In December things will slow down considerably. I’ll still try to blog once or twice and remember to keep grace.nikipress.com running. It’s like so much work to keep it all working. You get bloggers, and then you get super bloggers and then you get me, the king of bloggers. haha ! It’s quite funny.. sorry private joke. Keep visiting and expecting great things to happen.
Cafe Racer
Thinking of building myself a cafe racer. Will get there …. rome wasn’t built in a day… this guy is really inspiring.
There is nothing wrong with me
People have a rather nasty way of dealing with and relating to someone whom they perceive to be in a situation they wouldn’t be able to handle. Instead of including such an individual into their circle they see them as useless and without any potential . Such non sense. They don’t want to be with them because any solution that the person comes up with isn’t taken as legitimate. They think they’re superior and can’t seem to understand the calmness that the person with the deficiency seems to have. It’s Christ. Christ is the difference. Shalom. Peace. The kind of peace that surpasses all understanding. If your very life shouldn’t be and you’re walking in nothing but pure grace you wouldn’t make much sense to anyone else either.
Well.. I am royalty. I have potential and some day all who treated me with disdain are going to regret it. It’s just that way because such is the inheritance of those who are the Lord’s . The wheel in the sky keeps on turning. YaY … just wait for it.
