!!!!!Grace!!!!

What's so amazing about Grace is that she has blue streaks in her hair and a kitten called Gideon and a turtle named Yoda. Seriously, everyone keeps talking about her at Bethel, and I am quite certain I know the most famous girl in the whole world. I didn't know until I came to Bethel the amount Grace had done, Grace set my spirit free, Grace healed me, Grace allows me to live off God and not what my bank account says. Grace is pretty amazing actually. I knew she was great when I met her, she is from Texas and is small and gutsy but wow how much guts?! Grace allows God to give above and beyond what I deserve, she must really have a special bond with God! I didn't know how much I needed her until I was on a plane to a land I have never been before, in a city I knew little about and living off money that didn't exist until I got here. I really don't know how she does it. Apparently Grace came when Jesus died on the cross and rose again, I thought she was about 21. It's amazing how much Grace lives! HAHAHA What IS so amazing about Grace?

I reckon she is pretty sweet. I like her and her cherry Cokes too.

Identity

A big theme in this season is IDENTITY.


who am I?

I know the RIGHT answers but what are the deep-inside-my-heart-for-realsies answers.

PRINCESS

I am royalty, I am a daughter of the one true King, but what does that mean? I could give you a biblical sound answer by searching for references on Biblegateway.com or I could tell you what I have been told for the past 20 something years of my life...or I could tell you my hearts answer
The King, my Daddy, who has a long beard that tickles my nose when I cuddle Him. Bold, Strong and All Powerful, can speak Life into being with a whisper and send Death to it's grave with a beautiful, loving and gruesome gesture. The King that reigns over all kings, all powers and principalities, no matter how BIG they seem. That is just a snippet of who my Father is, I am His daughter, so don't mess with me. He delights in me, with the twinkling of His eye He ravishes me with His overwhelming LOVE.

BRIDE
I am God's first love. I am His pure spotless Bride. Pure and Spotless only because He first loved me and gave Himself for me on the Cross. His flesh ripped and torn to pieces, blood dripping and trickly down to the dirt, making me pure. He is romantic and loving towards me, showing grand gestures toward me, the kind that I would like, my flavour, my tone, my style. He twirls me and carries me, His arm stretches out toward me as He asks me to dance.
This is me. The Bride

POWERFUL
I carry the Power of God with me, the Holy Spirit resides in me and I have been given the power to cast out demons and heal the sick. I have more power in my little pinky finger than all the hordes of hell, they know it and they tremble. I hold the power to change nations, to set captives free, and to show love and compassion to the hurting and broken.




This is just a taste of who I am in God. I am beautiful, I am courageous, I am a sign and a wonder, I am powerful, I am pure, I am desired and loved. I am Rachel.
