Good morning!!! How are we faithing? We as believers were given a promise and it has come to fruition. We were promised the Holy Spirit and when we accept Jesus as messiah, the Holy Spirit comes and dwells in us. The people prior to messiah didn't enjoy this gift. They relied on prophets only for wisdom and the Word from God. They had a temple and an altar that only a priest could approach. Now our bodies are the temple and our altar is where ever we humble ourselves to the Father. Before we were not real sure where we stood as far as good deeds vs evil ones. We were not sure if we even could earn a trip to heaven. Now we know that through Jesus Christ we earn that trip and not out of anything done by us, except to believe. After that we do indeed get a little better but not "holier than thou" but because the Holy Spirit that now dwells in us, reminds us of God's laws not as judgement but as a holy way to live. Yes we can drown out that small still voice by ignoring it and being selfish but it's still there, we need but listen. We obey the laws of God out of love and not out of compulsion. There times when we do obey for obeying's sake and because we know God's way is always a better way but that is out of this love for our savior and a trust that is just beyond comprehension. Not following blindly at the request of any man but at what the Word says. Just think on this and remember;
Joh 14:16-17
I will ask the Father to give you another Helper, to be with you always. He is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor recognizes him. But you recognize him, because he lives with you and will be in you.
Joh 14:16-17
I will ask the Father to give you another Helper, to be with you always. He is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor recognizes him. But you recognize him, because he lives with you and will be in you.
Eph 1:13-14
You, too, have heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed in the Messiah, you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until God redeems his own possession for his praise and glory.
Remember Fred Gee...
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your truth in your Word. Thank you that your Holy Spirit prompts us when we stray. Lord, open our ears to your Word and ways. Help us recognize that voice so we can improve. Lord we ask for wisdom and courage to face this world honorably. Bless those seeking and tie our tongues when they need to be. Open our mouth with your words in Jesus name, amen
