OBEYING THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD

” SO I SAY, LET THE HOLY SPIRIT GUIDE YOUR LIVES. THEN YOU WON’T BE DOING WHAT YOUR SINFUL NATURE CRAVES. ” GAL. 5:16

We were all born into sin. The Lord our God in heaven gave us the most loving opportunity to overcome our sinful nature by sending his son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our sins. However , we are not perfect. We are still tempted. We still live in a world filled with sin. Our Lord sent his precious Holy Spirit to live within us and to guide us. We must train ourselves up in order to be able to listen and hear the Holy Spirit as he directs our every step. We are surrounded by the things of the world so it is easy to become involved and comply with these things. But, if we continue to build upon our faith, stay plugged into God our source, and learn to listen to the voice of the Lord, will are able to overcome the world. As we live our lives each day there are many situations that require us to make decisions between right and wrong. As we cross these bridges of indecision we must take a step back and listen to the Lord. Often times we have a check in our spirit, a time that we just aren’t sure if we are to follow our instincts. If we are not completely sure what to do we need to pause and pray to the Lord. That little indecision or check in our spirit is the Holy Spirit speaking to us. We should stop and listen. If we do, the Lord will give the right steps to take. God has a plan for our lives. We sometimes like to move swiftly past his plan and begin to act upon our own. When we do we move into a dangerous, and most times, a failing situation. We must listen to the small still voice of the preceious Holy Spirit and all will be well! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
