Positive Power Card; Today make friends with a part of yourself you dont like

Are you an introvert or extrovert?
Try this test @ http://www.nerdtests.com/mq/take.php?id=19

My test results;
The Introvert-Extrovert Test; says that I'm Somewhat Introverted

What does it mean?

This test points to the fact that you tend to be more introverted than extroverted. This would point to the fact that you like taking time for yourself, but do know how to have fun. Your friends are very close, and you consider most other people your peers.

Extroverts:
-have motives and actions that are directed outward.
-are more prone to action than contemplation.
-are typically very friendly to unknown people.
-feel empowered in social situations.

Introverts:
-have motives and actions that are directed inward.
-tend to be preoccupied with their own thoughts and feelings.
-minimize their contact with other people.

Surprised? Those that do know me, surely know me as introvert. So what has changed me?

What made me;
initiate and lead our ITISS cell group
participate in my weekly Hone cell group
participate in my weekly Business men Cell group
participate (to come) in a Lesotho outreach
persevere in communicate (these mails)
Lead Home praying and scripture studies
Testify regularly of Gods grace
maintain my blog @ http://totukoninkryk.blogspot.com/
etc etc.

2Co 3:18 As all of us reflect the Lord's glory with faces that are not covered with veils, we are being changed into his image with ever-increasing glory. This comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. Tit 3:6 God poured a generous amount of the Spirit on us through Jesus Christ our Savior. 1Jn 4:2 This is how you can recognize God's Spirit: Every person who declares that Jesus Christ has come as a human has the Spirit that is from God.

Yes the Holy Spirit is my guidance!!

I have made my Holy Spirit "story" from the following scripts;

Blessed are those who recognize they are spiritually helpless. (Mat 5:3a) Those who live by the corrupt nature have the corrupt nature's attitude. But those who live by the spiritual nature have the spiritual nature's attitude. (Rom 8:5) Flesh and blood give birth to flesh and blood, but the Spirit gives birth to things that are spiritual.. (Joh 3:6) Don't you know that your body is a temple that belongs to the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit, whom you received from God, lives in you. You don't belong to yourselves. (1Co3:19)

The Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything. He will remind you of everything that I have ever told you. (Joh 14:26) At the same time the Spirit also helps us in our weakness, because we don't know how to pray for what we need. (Rom 8:26a) The Spirit intercedes for God's people the way God wants him to. (Rom 8:27b)

The evidence of the Spirit's presence is given to each person for the common good of everyone.(7) The Spirit gives one person the ability to speak with wisdom. The same Spirit gives another person the ability to speak with knowledge.(8) To another person the same Spirit gives courageous faith. To another person the same Spirit gives the ability to heal.(9) Another can work miracles. Another can speak what God has revealed. Another can tell the difference between spirits. Another can speak in different kinds of languages. Another can interpret languages.(10) There is only one Spirit who does all these things by giving what God wants to give to each person. (1Co 12:7-11) This Holy Spirit is the guarantee that we will receive our inheritance. We have this guarantee until we are set free to belong to him (Jesus ). (Eph 1:14a)

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes to you. (Act 1: 8a) So then, as Christians, do you have any encouragement? Do you have any comfort from love? Do you have any spiritual relationships? Do you have any sympathy and compassion? (Php 2:1) Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially the gift of speaking what God has revealed. (1Col 14:1) Pray in the Spirit in every situation. Use every kind of prayer and request there is. For the same reason be alert. Use every kind of effort and make every kind of request for all of God's people. (Eph 6:18)

Dear friends, use your most holy faith to grow. Pray with the Holy Spirit's help. (Jud 1:20)

No wonder then that I am moving away from being a introvert, being lead to participate in the Sanlam prayer intercession initiative, being lead to promote more praying during our weekly sessions.

I am making friends with part of me I dont like...with the help of the Holy Spirit!!!

Can you?

Remember;
" Don't put out the Spirit's fire. (1Th 5:19) As the Holy Spirit says, "If you hear God speak today, don't be stubborn. (Heb 3:7)


Dear Father, You are AWESOME. All it took was to open our eyes and ears, to understand your grace and to believe in Jesus, in what You Father, and Jesus Christ did for each of us, even before we were born. We are blessed indeed to have recveived our Helper, the Holy Spirit. You new Father that we would not be able to believe and persevere in belief on our own. We praise you Father for your love, We love you Jesus for your blood, we thank you Holy Spirit for your hand in leading us day by day closer and closer to the nature of Jesus. Through Jesus Christ we pray this. Amen.

Bless YOU.. Have a blessed weekend.
