]Are you GROWING in Christ, or are you stagnant in your walk?
In order to grow, we must be “willing” to crucify the flesh, die to self and obey the Holy Spirit.
It’s a daily cleanse.
What does that look like in REAL TIME?
...
What are you listening to?
What are you watching?
What conversations are you having with friends?
How do you act outside of church?
What types of social groups do you enjoy?
What do you hunger and thirst for?
Is your motive purely to seek the heart of God, or is your motive to be known as a godly person by (church) people?
Do you practice self-control or do you indulge in whatever your friends indulge in?
Is your personal prayer life a time of self examination through the power of the Holy Spirit or a time of boldness that is void of the pursuit of holiness?
Do you LOVE PEOPLE?
People who may not look like or act like you.
People who do not believe like you.
People who annoy you.
People in your everyday life.
The fullness of God’s promises are made manifest in the lives of those who are “in Him” and “He is in them.”
Those who are obedient to The Holy Spirit.
...
These are tough truths but, none-the-less, important truths that we must embrace if we want to grow closer to the Lord.
God help us to agree with You.
Help us to seek You with our whole heart.
2 Corinthians 7:1 (KJV)
“Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.”
Cleanse Yourself.
Perfect Holiness.
Choose to say YES to God.
And... PREPARE TO RECEIVE THE PROMISES!
Miracles happen on fertile ground.
And... God speaks to those who “listen” with a humble and obedient heart.
