CONTROLLED BY YOUR SINFUL NATURE OR THE HOLY SPIRIT!

” And no one can know God’s thoughts except God’s own Spirit. And we have received God’s Spirit (not the world’s spirit) so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us.” 1 Corinthians 2:11-12

“Those who follow the right path fear the Lord; those who take the wrong path despise him.” Proverbs 14:2

“For the Kingdom of God is not just a lot of talk; it is living by God’s power.” 1 Corinthians 4:20

Our God in heaven has opened his heart and his very being to each of those who have been called. To all who have experienced the conversion from evil to good our God has given to us the free gift of salvation. The door has been opened and we have the option of walking through the door or turning our backs on his opportunity and taking our own path. We can all rest assured that if we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior our lives will become what our God has planned. We will be able to hear his voice, and our spirits will be in tune with Him. He will create a desire within us for prayer and communication. We will desire to learn more and to want to be close to him. We will seek out his healing power for our lives and we will live under his protection and strength and be living witnesses on his behalf. However, there are those among us who have turned their backs on God. They have made the decision to take their own path in life. It may seem easier, or it may look good, but it will end in disaster. They will be blinded by the fruits of this world and be allowed to sin as they desire. They will not understand, nor will they want to understand the ways of our God. For those who have turned their backs on Jesus and deny his existence are doomed for destruction. There is, however, a continued opportunity for some to be saved. You and I are to live our lives so that others around us can see the fruits from our God in heaven. We are to present ourselves with love, peace, understanding and compassion, even to those who detest our very lives. We are to never give up on anyone until our Lord returns. Jesus is Lord and is in control! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
