How to Overcome the Power of ‘Me, Myself, and I’!

How to Overcome the Power of ‘Me, Myself, and I’

“For You, Lord, have made me glad through Your work; I will triumph in the works of Your hands.” (Psalm 92:4)

The work of God enables us to live the Christian life. We must soak our heart in that revelation!

God has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints. He is the one who has delivered us from the evil one and the kingdom of darkness. Finally, he has transferred us into the kingdom of his Son where we now are governed by the law of faith (the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus), which has delivered us from the law of sin and death.

All of the above are the work of God… a gift of God to us. When we finally understand and apply these truths, they make us very glad!

The impact on our everyday living is transformative when we understand and avail ourselves of Sonpower – the power of the Holy Spirit. We now live by the Spirit, walking under his control. When we live by the Spirit we do not seek to fulfill the sinful desires of the flesh. The mighty power of God can overcome the power of the three amigos of me, myself, and I.

This is why, as in the words of the Psalmist, we can say, “I will triumph in the work of your hands.”

We are in peace:

“Lord, You will establish peace for us, for You have also done all our works in us.” (Isaiah 26:12, NKJV)

“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” (Ephesians 2:10, NKJV)

“…For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.” (Philippians 2:13, NKJV)

If I unite my heart in communion with the Holy Spirit, I will be able to bring my life into conformance with the will of God. I will be able to take proper advantage of his working in me and my circumstances. He will present the opportunities, and provide the road through the wilderness for me to follow as I follow his revealed will.

Talk to God

Father, I choose to soak my heart often in your truths, and to reflect on them frequently. By faith I choose to be filled by your Spirit to make them personally operative in my everyday life. I look for the signposts along life’s way that you provide so I can remain on the King’s Highway of Faith. I know if I do so, I will grow in my relationship with you. In Jesus name, I pray.

Don’t Water it Down!

  And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature… (2 Peter 1:4) Don’t Water it Down All of us have dreams we’re believing for, but too often we get discouraged and quit believing for the fullness of what’s in our heart. It’s easy to water down what God promised us. “I don’t like this job, but it’s good enough.” “I was believing for a house, but this apartment is okay.” “I was hoping to get well, but I’ve learned to live with this sickness.” If you’re going to become all you were created to be, you have to keep a fire in your spirit that says, “I refuse to settle for less than what God promised.” You’re not going to be talked out of it, you’re not going to water it down, and you’re not going to let good enough be good enough. It may be more difficult and taking longer than you thought, but what God promised you is still on the way—not a watered-down version, not a make-do promotion,

Experience SON POWER!

                    Experience SON POWER I love to watch the clouds in the sky during the day and in the brightness of the moon at night. Watching those clouds move is an illustration to me of how God is always on the move. He is continually working to change our circumstances and is always available to intervene in the affairs of mankind. Sometimes the clouds appear to be still, but if I watch long enough, I see their changing shapes, I notice them moving ever so slightly and silently. I would not even be aware of that movement if I was not focused intently on them. God is like this so much of the time. He is on the move in our circumstances.  The landscape of our lives is constantly changing, and God is there, directing and guiding, even when we are unaware.  The book of Psalms says it well, “Your road led through the sea, your pathway through the mighty waters—a pathway no one knew was there!” (Psalm 77:19). When I coined the word  Kingdom of God  I was at the beginning of my own j

The Roots of Hope!

  The Roots of Hope Scripture: Habakkuk 3:17–19 “Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights. For the director of music. On my stringed instruments. ”  From a circumstantial standpoint, the prophet Habakkuk lived in a terrible time. The land was soon to be invaded and, because of the disobedience of the people to God over time, prosperity was no more. Even though the circumstances were bad, Habakkuk gives us the formula for not only surviving but also thriving in such a period. The above passage shows us that Habakkuk did not allow circumstances to steal his joy. It is an example for us that our joy and happiness have to be based on more than just having go
