Being Real

God just blows me away. He is so amazing and so wonderful, yet so insanely confusing and mysterious. And I absolutely love it. I love that I love a God who never gets old and overtime I think or hope I have even just some part of him figured out he brings me to a deeper level of understanding and reveals this whole other side of who he is in my life. What other relationship is like that?
I went out to Vicki and Steve's tonight for some velvet Elvis bible study, not expecting much. Other than some tri-tip for my birthday, and it was just awesome. It was probably the shortest chapter in the book, but yet it was such so awesome. We asked so many questions and they just raise more questions and made you think deeper about who Jesus was and is. There were times when I left like my head was going to explode because Jesus was just so REAL to me. He wasn't just my savior, not just the God/man man/God that dies on the cross. He's really REAL and his life as a person became so much more to me than that of a savior. It became a reality of why he is who he is and what that means to me and what his Word means to me. I love waking up in the morning knowing that God, whether father, son or holy spirit will be revealed to men a new light everyday. There is so much freedom in being real and truthful it makes you want to change the world.
I was able to be free tonight with my friends. As some people know, I've been growing in the prophetic, and though I've blogged about it a few times I've never really been free with it when I talked din public, other than with my prophetic friends. Tonight at Elvis, one of the prophetic gifts came up, so I shared my story and my experiences. Not in detail, but that they happen. I Melanie Potts have healed the sick, spoken in tongues, prophesied over people, gotten words of knowledge about people, casted out demons and yes I even raised a fly from the dead. I don't say this to be self-righteous or to show people how spiritual I am or how weird I am. I say this because it's not weird that I'm ding these things. Jesus did them and so did his disciples. I don't want to have a secret Christian life that I have with one set of friends and not the other. I'm not Pentecostal. All I'm doing is being a disciple of Jesus, so if he did it I want to do it too. I want to be like Christ in everything that I do. I know that it's a stretch from the Melanie that everyone knew. I think that this is all part of the transformation that the holy spirit is doing in my life. Its all scriptural, I'm not going against God's word. I'm just trying to be real. I'm trying to let God make me the woman he designed me to be and I'm trying not to get in the way.
