Next move

I cannot decide on this Lord. If you invite my soul to be rest-assured in you about australia or here, will you please tell me where you want me to go? I want YOUR 1st choice. but if i go on my own accord... go with me? Either way, i will never be the same. Either way, i know that you're alive. My life was once broken, now i live to glorify your holy name jesus christ.

Beyond myself, may your fire fall down on us. As we seek you, show us your heart, show us your way, show us your glory.

There's an unfortunate perception about Hillsong from a minority here. (And i say perception cos it's not Hillsongs fault.) It's how people receive Them. Well-meaning or not. They may be more structured, for lack of better words, but their personality and struggle comes through in their passion in the songs... IF you listen. There is individuality in their singing esp amongst the annointed, prayed-up leaders.

So many of us south african christians don't embrace our individuality. Our heritage. Our culture. We either copy other successful churches' styles OR we refuse to be inspired and motivated by them (our brothers and sisters in Christ). So maybe that's what's missing: A revolutionary individualistic happening amongst the community and local church here in Durban, South Africa. The songs and the blessing of the spirit and truth that comes out of the songs is an overflow of that occurence. That is why when we do things on our own strivings, we do the job half as powerfully as God would have it done. It's the same with everything. Anyone can sing another persons song. But what song is being sung in the lives and life of the Church? Our church? If none, we're just singing songs as best we can.

Quenching the spirit isn't cool.

So may we not be in captivity in that place, no matter what we're singing. May we explode into the people Christ see's us to become. I want to find my own God-directed identity, wherever I go. Whatever and whoever'ss songs I sing.
