¹As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, ²in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. ³All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath. ⁴But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, ⁵made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.⁶And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus

It has been 2 weeks since the spiritual encounter and many are still keeping the fire going! Personally i still have this fire and want to keep it burning, but at the same time i might have backslide into playing computer games again. Even after i decided not to play anymore after the spiritual encounter after realizing how much time I've wasted playing them, and could have put that time to better use e.g knowing more about God. So anyway, Aaron was talking to me today on msn, and he said that i had 'failed', because i played warcraft and didn't keep my end of the promise. Immediately i felt convicted in my heart and knew straightaway that what Aaron said was right, i did fail in my promise to God to stop playing computer games. So immediately after that i deleted it right away for good!

Then at yaf tonight, in our cell, one of our references was Ephesians 2 the first few verses. I read it and bam! again, i got reminded about me playing computer games as gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. I knew right away that the devil has been trying to pull me away from God by putting in all these temptations in front of me, and that i have to a certain extend failed. But then i read on till verse 4-6, and felt so relieved and amazed that God who is so rich in mercy saved us by His grace, and even raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms! After this hurdle, i've made sure that i would never ever get sucked back into playing computer games for hours anymore, and all the time i have to spare would be made into God time.

One last thing that worried me at the end of the cell was when Ps Chris closed by asking us if we really believed that there is a devil and that he really exist. I couldn't raise my hand.


I'm not ashamed of the Gospel Lord, Your power and love that saved my soul, now i'm alive in You
