Hi,

Sounds like you went through something i did. I recently went through such a program, well it may not be exactly like it but the goal was the same; to re-new thyself and build a relationship with God. The program i went through is called Alabastron, but this one consists of women only…..before you go all out women right and equal rights on me hear me out.
First contrary to what some people think, its not a place where we go and discuss men and plan how to outsmart them. It was, i must say, a phenomenal experience. Not to say that now i know everything and can handle any obstacle but i am smarter/wiser now, sometimes i think of the person i was and i laugh at myself at some of the things that used to vex me which at this point seem very trivial. Naturally you might struggle initially, probably fall back into old habits here and there but again this is a personal experience YOU have to be committed to the ’cause’ (for lack of a better term to use) and stay focused. Most of all i am creating my relationship anew with God. I am actually yet to complete the program, got 4 more weeks to go but it can only get better…………….

My Mizizi experience was super.The realness of it all was refreshing.Strive for perfection but since no one can ever be perfect don’t beat yourself when you “fall”…all in a days living in this world.

I totally agree with you. Church should be a place where real people with real issues come to meet a real God for real solutions. That what Mizizi was all about for me: an introduction to a God that has real solutions to the real issues ifaced. i totally enjoyed it and when i met Him i was totally sold out to Him. The amazing thing is that when Jesus was on earth He spent most of his time with the guys most of us christians try to avoid…whats up with that? Anyway am glad you really are enjoying it!

I think I know What you mean/feel…I feel connected to God, simply because I find it easy to believe that I am part of his creation, I see it in nature and feel his prescence for me its that simple and thus my greatest realization, that I am a soul and not the shell that I adone clothes on.
And in my quest to growing deeper in my faith I find that I am trully obsessed with inner beauty or improving on my persona something that I believe I can only gain through relationship with God.
The truth is that in developing relationships with other christians I have become acustomed to the truth that BELIEVING in his son is what’s most important to christians and the christian faith, but for me,my relationship with God is what is most important and living in Christ’s likeness or emulating his inner beauty is my life’s quest

I feel you on the Spirii thing. In essence what Jesus brings that no other significant figure in world religions brings is Grace.

One of the fundamentals of Christianity is that through Christ, we are offered a freedom that’s incomprehensible: That upon accepting Christ personally and his sacrifice for us, we have the liberty to get close to Jesus, or stray as far as we would like from him without reprieve.

God’s forgiveness is once for all: Meaning every sin you ever committed until the time of your salvation, and every sin you could ever commit. God forgives it. Christ already paid the price for it.(Romans 5:8)

But God however, doesn’t stop the consequences of the sin, especially if it’s habitual, etc. But there’s a liberating feeling within Christianity once the concept of Grace is understood.

I dislike the feeling BEFORE Evangelism. This is where it’s make or break. Evangelism isn’t usually the problem, it’s the answer, it’s the wrestling with feelings BEFORE you do it that’s tough. I evangelise from time to time, it’s rarely ever conventional, but God’s used my cooky, wacky and shaky stories to move in people’s hearts. I use the Romans Road (Google it) usually. But it’s just the fear of rejection, and the but-will-I-ever-get-the-words-to-say part of things that’s tricky. It’s more about sharing who Christ is, and who He’s been in one’s life.

Kudos for starting Mizizi, the journey has begun. Will be praying for you.
