GET THE "WORD" IN YOU!
It seems the more of the "Word" I listen to, read, and study and meditate on the better I understand who God is and the better I feel about myself as a believer. I've heard this may times, "God is a Spirit" but did not really understand what that meant. A spirit is an invisible active force that has a mind and can think and can also influence our thoughts and actions. There are also 'evil' spirits in this world that can hurt us by simply the power of suggestion, meaning a thought comes into our minds which may seem 'right' but when acted upon can cause harm in one way or the other. The Holy Spirit on the other hand is the Spirit of the living God that will guide us and direct us in our thoughts to our benefit. He, the Holy Spirit, will come and live inside us if we ask Him to and He will override and kick out all the evil spirits which seek to destroy us. We can purge the evil spirits out of our minds with the "Word" of God. They hate God and us, so they come to kill, steal, and destroy us and deceive us into thinking we are not worthy of God's love and that God, our Father has abandoned us because of our sin and sinful nature. Now this is where Jesus comes in. Before Jesus did what He did on the cross for us we were not worthy of God's salvation so in His infinite wisdom God sent His perfect Son to earth as a human to be the final sacrifice once and for all to put away all the sin's of mankind and to give of the "gift" of righteousness which means right standing with God our Father. So now, if we choose to accept this gift we are made right with God and He will remember our sin no more... He sees Jesus and His finished work on the cross when He looks at us and not our sin... Our Spirits have been born again but our flesh is still the flesh and that is why we continue to have these fleshly desires that are so hard to resist. "The Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak." Thank God for Jesus and God's love for all of us! We need only to say "Yes and Amen!" To Jesus and receive Him as our Lord and Savior despite our weaknesses and sinful nature and we will be righteous in God's sight. Eventually all these things that we are tempted of will pass and we will have the power to resist the evil that tries to influence us. We who receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and King are joint heirs with Him to inherit everlasting life and all the blessings of Abraham in this life.
So, lift your head up high and know that you are "the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus," submit yourself to the "Word" of God and little by little you will see your life changing for the better effortlessly. The Spirit will guide you... Make a new habit if you haven't already to read the Word, listen to the Word, and speaking the Word and your faith will grow stronger and stronger. Faith comes by hearing and hearing and hearing the Word of Christ over and over and over again...
SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY
"The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven." Hebrews 1:3 (N.I.V.)
