Breakaway

Heyyy!! Welcome back to another edition of the fireBRANDS Blog!
Well, the service started with a prayer

by Gary of course.

So, the prayer points were

• For the people from The PLAN '11. That they would have a safe journey back home
• fireBRANDS Annual Youth Camp '11
• The Worship
• The Sermon
  

After that, we formed a large circle and we prayed for the person on
our right. That we'll find our purpose in life in God's will.

After prayer, (and the toilet break) we had ice breakers! (as KL people call it, Jell Time!)
It was the watermelon game.
Yummy.

The rules were. You had to pass the 'watermelon' to the person next to you and making the
sound of eating watermelons.

First victim.

Benjamin has a funny way of eating his watermelons
Woosh!

So its punishment time~!

...the so called 'punishment'. Moving your hips in a circle.

After that fun time of ice breakers. It was time for worship
Led by Eulene Ooi.

Part 1 of 6 : A Way Out


When you were a child what did you want to be when you grow up?

We all want to be unique in our own ways. So how do we break out of
the pack?
By running a way from it?

Modern culture suggests that we do so.

"If you run away from your past you wasting years of your life and complicating
it and breaking hearts in the process."

We have to get sync'd with Our Creator because He created us.

The three main points

| Belief | Decisions | Outcome |

We belief that we can change our outcome.
Changing decisions doesn't affect outcomes!

If you want to change the outcome. You must rethink what you believed in
Ask yourself this

• Where am I believing wrong

------
Be transformed by the renewing of the mind. By thinking
and believing differently.

There's is no such thing as a clean renovation (totally true, here's a
picture to prove it)


Renovations always take longer than they say.
But, renovations can have a spectacular outcome.


Amazing isn't it?

Renovating out beliefs is by taking out the old stuff and putting in the new stuff.

----

When you're transformed, then you will be able to
recognize God's will for you.

The way you look at the world will effect your decisions and ultimately your outcome.

---
We have to thank out parents because they gave us the belief (or Operating System)
that set us to make right decisions.

Bible: The book of Truth.

Question: What are the deeply held beliefs that led you to make the decisions
that brought you to this place?

Remember, its all about renovating the old to get the new.

----

After the video, it was Discussion Time by Sharon Leow.
Questions

1. What were your dreams during childhood?
2. What are some of the most significant decision that have affected the outcome?
3. If so, what were the deeply held beliefs for the decision?
4. When have you attempted to run away from the outcomes from the decision and what was the result?
5. If you could change one outcome. What would it be?
6. What beliefs do you need to reexamine in order to break away from this area?

Well, that's all for this weeks post. Have great week and God Bless!
