The real deal....

Are you the real deal ?

When it comes to Jesus Christ, are you the real deal ?

What does it mean to be the real deal ?

Being the real deal, is more about what is going on when you are alone, when no one else is around or watching.

It's the quiet moments of prayer and worship.

It's the reading of your bible and pausing long enough to listen out for Gods voice into your heart.

It's shunning the temptations of Satan in your mind, and not entertaining any potential outcome if you did....that sin !

How can you tell if someone is the real deal or not....?

They are Transparent.
They are not afraid to shine " the light " in the dark places.
They are up front in worship, loud, large, " pick me " kind of Christians.

What is in their heart, flows out of their mouth.

The real deal Christ follower, knows their place.... Humble, servants, willing, active not passive...they are not just bible carrying people, they are bible doing people.

I am praying that I will grow to be more real than I am right now.

I am praying that you and I , will truly be .....

"Real Deal" - Christ followers.

You know when you have been close to the real deal.
You just know the difference between the real and the pretend.

A real deal Christ follower will leave Christ characteristics embedded into your spirit.
How can they not.

The power for the real deal Christian comes from the personal intimate moments shared with their father. And when you have been with Jesus in private! it's the most normal natural thing for Him to shine through your life in public.

Let's all aim to be "The Real Deal".

I believe one of the highest compliments, affirmations that a Christ follower can be given is to be labelled the real deal.

What got us here, will not get us there.

I have been thinking about the this for sometime now. We as TSA have come along way, but yet...there is a long way yet to go, and everything we have done up until now, has given us the results we now have. It's insanity to think, that if we keep doing the things we have already done, that we will get a different result. All that we have done so far, in previous weeks, months and years and even decades have given us the results we are seeing right now. If we think for one moment that things are going to change, by doing the things the same way as we have already done them, then there may be a need for seeing a therapist. do things the same way, get the same result. change the way you do things, get a different result. the problem with this, is ..... that many think everything is honky dory....all "A OK".... and that's where the real bottle neck actually is. Because the truth is, (and many don't want to acknowledge the truth), that we are not winnin

For me these days, life is super busy. I used to think I was busy before, but now...my goodness. Now, so that it's clear, I am happy being busy with the Kingdom stuff, and would never cope if I was blatantly bored in ministry, I am simply not wired in such a way. Life is good. My ministry is good. My God is good. For those of my readers who think, that maybe, I think I have arrived..... wash your mouths out...there is no way I think that, last week my head was in such a spin, I literally had to walk out the office and go home. I went for a walk to clear my head and got drenched when it started raining, and it was really good for me... I gained perspective and focus and the next day in the office was a little more sober. It's a busy place and much is going on.... it does pose questions for me, which over time I will seek clarity from the senior leaders here....and I guess where needed, I will tweak where and when I can. in the meantime, I am just doing what I feel

A few things happening lately.

I don't think I have ever had such a difficult time.... I am well aware of issues where I have been disrespected and disregarded and my ministry count for absolutely nothing... 16 years means nothing to some.... Neither does 11 years of planting, oh well...that's leadership. It's lonely, it's hard, and at times extremely hurtful. But I still choose to stay the course, I still choose to go hard, coz I am not going home. Really when it comes down to it, when a person disrespects you, it is highly possible it is their issue not my own. I do believe though you have to earn respect and loyalty and so if I don't have it from all in my circle then maybe I haven't earned it ? Or... Sigh! oh we'll I am sure you get it. It's sometimes very lonely and as I said previously, hurtful. Look at Jesus, he was more than hurt, more than abandoned and more than disrespected. He was killed. Ridiculed. Spat on. Ignored. He was abused. He was left alone. Betra
