Listening to God

'I am writing these things to warn you about those who want to lead you astray. But you have received the Holy Spirit, and he lives within you, so you don’t need anyone to teach you what is true. For the Spirit teaches you everything you need to know, and what he teaches is true—it is not a lie. So just as he has taught you, remain in fellowship with Christ.' 1 John 2:26-27 (NLT)

For I have been saved by grace through faith in Christ who died for me and that not of myself it is a gift from God which gives me eternal security in Him. When I was saved I received the anointing of the Holy Spirit and the abiding life of Christ Jesus lives in me which assures me that when I walk in spirit and in truth that I will be guided by Him in all truth and not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.

In walking in spirit I have an advocate with the Father and He promised me that He would send the Helper, the Holy Spirit, and He would teach me all things and remind me of everything that He has taught me. The Spirit searches out everything and shows me God's deep secrets. No one can know God's thoughts except His own Spirit. Those who aren't spiritual cannot receive these truths from God's Spirit.

I am mind, body and spirit. Jesus bought me with His death and sealed me with His Spirit. I am a temple of God and the Spirit of God dwells in me. He put His Holy Spirit in me and causes me to walk in His ways. With the Holy Spirit living inside of me I have everything that I need. The Spirit points me to Jesus and teaches me to say 'yes' to God. I should listen to God. The Spirit points me to Truth and teaches me to say 'no' to the world.

The world wants to lead me astray. 'No!' I do not need to listen to and to accept what the world has to offer nor do I need to be encouraged and taught by false teachers a false gospel. Christ says if you love me keep my commandments. Reason with me. Lean not on your own understanding. Knowing Biblical truths and being able to discern what is false is key to standing firm in this evil day. No one has seen the Father but the one and only Son, who is Himself God and is near to the Father's heart. God Himself says, 'This is my Son, whom I have chosen-listen to Him'.

Dear Father. Thank you Lord for abiding in me and for teaching me all things. I will remain in fellowship with Christ. I will abide in You Lord. In Jesus name. Amen.

The Day of the Lord Approaches

' not forgetting to gather as a community, as some have forgotten, but encouraging each other, especially as the day of His return approaches.' Hebrews 10:25 (VOICE) Days of future trials are coming and yet are here. Last days. The day of His return approaches. No one knows the hour. So we are told to be even more diligent in our calling. We should be always watching, praying and bringing a word of encouragement to one another through the power of God. For what signs and wonders happen in the House of the Lord! Oh so amazing. The Miraculous. God provides the Fire. The battle is the Lords. We are told not to fret but only to enjoy the ride as we thank Him. So as I pray I want to thank you Lord. I am totally devoted to You. Equip me to preach the gospel. Now is the time and I will not forget my mission. As I arise I will not forget to put on my Full Armor of God. I will cling to your Bible. I am committed to carry it with me. I will hold it up as a sword in the town ...

The Look

' Looking straight into their eyes, Jesus replied, “Humanly speaking, no one, because no one can save himself . But what seems impossible to you is never impossible to God!”' Matthew 19:26 (TPT) So if the poor deal with envy and the rich with pride, who then can get in? Who can be saved? None, except through the grace of God. Only God can save us. Only God can change the hearts and minds of men. Nothing is impossible to Him.  Dear Father Thank you for loving us and sending us Your Son Jesus our Savior even while we were yet sinners. When we were sinners You pursued us and turned our hearts toward You.  With just one look You could see into our souls. You knew what we needed. You did what needed to be done. You did the thing that seemed impossible to man. You perfected a Way for us to be reconciled to You and even with our sinful natures. You made converts out of us. It's nothing we could have done on our own without You. We could never doubt You. You cleaned us ...

A Warrant to Believe

' By “the Lord” what I mean is the Spirit, and in any heart where the Spirit of the Lord is present, there is liberty.' 2 Corinthians 3:17 (VOICE ) Holy Spirit thou art welcome in this place. For wherever the Spirit is there is Life and Liberty. The Spirit brings with it freedom. Joy. Believers, we are blessed. God is gracious. Through the Cross, He has given us a way to be free from the law of sin and death. The veil between us and God has been lifted. The Holy Spirit brings the Light of Christ which illuminates and frees us from former blindness and darkness. The Spirit brings regeneration and sanctification as we are changed and made more like Christ everyday. We are free to walk in the ways of the Lord. Oh how we need thee this very hour Holy Spirit. Issue to us a warrant not as in the world and its laws, but of the gospel to believe. We do believe in You. Thank You Lord! Dear Father We repent to You this day, that we have failed to seek more of You. You kno...
