Stop living for yourself and the praise
of others and start living for Christ.
(Galatians 1.10)
Satan seeks to defeat you by tempting you to trust your own wisdom, to live according to your self-centered feelings and to gratify your flesh.
Are you open to listening to what the Holy Spirit has to say? It's difficult to know when it is the Holy Spirit leading you, but there are several discernible ways.
First, you are open to guidance.
Second, you are ready to obey what the Holy Spirit guides you to do even if it is outside of your comfort zone.
Third, you know the difference between your feelings and the promptings of the Holy Spirit.
So, let the Holy Spirit guide your life.
"So I Say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves." -Galatians 5:16
Prayer is as natural an expression of faith as breathing is of life.
Before you can see the beauty of the surroundings in which God has positioned you, you must remove the clutter! God is a God of order!
"God is not the author of confusion,but of peace" (1Cor.14:33).
Though confusion does not stop God from working, it does stop YOU!
Most of the time, its not the big things that keeps us from God's best; its the small things.
Maybe it starts w/an
offense that turns
into unforgiveness.
Make the decision to let go of anything that wud keep you from His blessings.
Be a person of
excellence & integrity.
The only real prerequisite for preaching the Gospel is to have experienced it first in one’s own life..
because one cannot give away something that one has never received.
Wen you find yourself
in the position
to help someone,
be happy & glad!
because God is answering that person's prayer through you.
It is easy for us to say, 'Yes, I will, Lord!' but when reality hits, the result is negative.
Ecclesiastes 5:4 says, "When you make a promise to God, keep it as quickly as possible.. DO what you PROMISE to do."
Today, ask the Lord to give you creative ways to encourage those around you. As you sow seeds of encouragement and bring out the best in others, God will send people along your path that will build you up, too. Keep showing kindness so you can move forward into the blessing and freedom He has for you!
Lord, make me a better member of my family - more loving, more humble, more giving. Amen.
If your suffering right now, you dont have to pretend its all good.
When Jesus was hours from crucifixion, he didnt sing in the garden or act hyper-spiritual.
He was sweating blood.
He asked the Father
for a way out.
But Jesus ultimately went to that cross with joy: not a shallow consolation that knows no pain, but a joy deepened by sorrow and recognizing the hurt of humanity.
God is always trying
to make you more human
and not less.
You can cry out in agony.
In that honesty,
God is establishing
great character in u.
Such a Christian is both happier and sadder at the same time, because they long for a better home and already have one. 😊
It’s always like spring time with Jesus, He makes all things new.
Healthy things grow, and growing things change. If we allow fear or doubt or shame or insecurity to hold us back from something new God is calling us to do, we may miss out on His greatest purpose for our life. As believers, we go from strength to strength, from glory to glory.
In order to please God you may have to disappoint a few people. If you're going to fulfill your destiny you've got to be strong.
