All About GOD

All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others

I was Blessed in that, I was Born Again and then Baptized in Holy Ghost at the same time. We were given instruction in both, and my nature leans more to spiritual things then to other things. The spiritual things have just seemed more natural to me then not. Here in Gal 5:16 This then is what I mean. Let your lives be guided by the Spirit, and then you will certainly not indulge the cravings of your lower natures. People have asked me in the past, how to be guided by the Spirit. As strange as this sounds, because it has just made sense to me, I find it hard to explain to others. So as I ponder this verse, it occurs to me, how did you learn how to indulge the cravings of flesh? The first time you did whatever it was to indulge in, how did it go? Did you have to work at doing it? Let’s say, the first time you lied. Were you very good at it? Or, maybe the first time you stole something. Were you sloppy, did you almost get caught? After practice did you get better at them? If we can become better at giving into our flesh, then... Matt 7:7 "Ask, and you will receive. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened for you. We have a way of learning how, to give into the Spirit. Rom 13:14 Instead, clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. And don't let yourself think about ways to indulge your evil desires. Some will say, easier said then done. Maybe, but 2Cor 12:9-10 But he told me: "My kindness is all you need. My power is strongest when you are weak." So I will brag even more about my weaknesses in order that Christ's power will live in me. 10Therefore, I accept weakness, mistreatment, hardship, persecution, and difficulties suffered for Christ. It's clear that when I'm weak, I'm strong. Therefore, I accept weakness...We struggle when things do not seem to go very well. To accept His Grace; His Kindness as all we need, is or can be difficult at first. Like everything else we must learn to practice. Something in these verses we often overlook. It is not just about our weakness, it is really about our Strength in Him. When the heart gets turned up, and the gold or sliver {who we are} is getting refined. The sludge comes to surface {our weakness} well, that gets dragged off. Instead of, looking at our weakness, let’s consider our Strength. The enemy would want us to focus on our failings, who cares what it wants us to look at. Yes, we fail, ok that is a given. That is the reason we NEED Christ, because we are weak, we need His Strength. This is a good thing. Our Father; Our Dad only wants us to recognize our Power in Him. He wants us to be in the place to accept, all He has for us. I never want to make light of another struggle. I only want all to see, no matter what you are facing, you are not alone. We have a Lord who cares, God the Father; God the Son; and God the Spirit, are there for us God tells us: Heb 13:5 Let not your mind love money, but let whatever you have suffice for you, for THE LORD JEHOVAH has said, “I shall not forsake you, neither shall I let go of your hand.” {Aramaic in plain English} I Love that line,..neither shall I let go of your hand. How can you ever argue that, WE ARE SO LOVED!!! I know things get hard to handle. That is one reason, I reached out last night. There should never be any shame, for asking for Prayer. Those verses in 2Cor 12:9-10 ..in my weakness He is most Strong..also shows us about salvation. On our own we are weak, hell bound! Yet, because of Jesus we are strong, Heaven bound. Now there are more meanings, but we can see it is important for us to recognize, we are weak without God. Because, it is more important to see we are Strong with God. Again, it is good to know we are weak, better to know in Him we are Strong. We are also stronger as a Family. For we are the “Bride of Christ” His Church, the Body of Christ.
