Are you ready for the changes that only the Holy Spirit can make in your life?

Making changes isn't easy for some of us, however it will facilitate growth in your walk with the Lord. 

I have noticed through the years, that if I try to make those changes I will fail, and revert right back to the old way of doing things.

But when I ask the Holy Spirit to make those changes in me, He now has my permission to control my will.
He alone, can make lasting changes. 

Oh sure, we can make the effort, but we don't have the ability nor the strength in our natural self, that the Holy Spirit has. We must submit to Him.

His divine power can change our desire to do the wrong thing,  into doing the right thing.

1Corinthians 2:12-14
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
 
But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Our natural mind, cannot perceive the things of God. That is our old fleshly sinful self, we cannot understand the things that are divine in nature, Only through the Holy Spirit can we know them.

Changes that He makes are lasting, our effort to change is so temporary, sure it will last for a time, but soon it will fail and go right back to where it was before, following our old sinful nature.
Beloved, allow the Holy Spirit to make those lasting changes and you will experience spiritual growth, and peace in your soul.

The Holy Spirit will birth new boldness for the Lord in you as you submit to the Holy Spirit surgery. 
He will cut out whatever is hindering your growth in the Lord. He will do a good pruning job, so that new growth can be produced.

If you resist Him, it will be more painful for you, but if you submit to Him, He will make it easier for you.

And you will experience the joy that is yours when you learn to rest in the Lord and allow the Holy Spirit to do His job.

Beloved, you must be willing to change, letting go of whatever the Holy Spirit reveals to you that is holding you back from all Jesus has for you. We must grow daily.

God Bless your day
Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus
Joy

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...

GOD'S LOVE LETTER TO HIS CHILDREN. PART 2

Read God's word and see how many times He chose to bless and not curse His people. God knows our every move and cares that we understand there is obedience to His word that will help us. God's word is a light unto our path.  Psalms 119:104-105 Through Your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path. God's word is rest for the weary, when we have not obeyed the word of God, we will become weary, anxious, and fearful, when we choose to do our own thing instead of what God tells us to do. Jesus loves us too much to leave us where He found us.  Praise God that he did find us searching for truth. Thy word is truth and Jesus is that word. So yes, there will be reminders for our spiritual growth that is needed. Will you squirm and try to fight the Holy Spirit? Yes, because the flesh always fights the Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lust against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and th...
