LISTEN TO THE SPIRIT!

For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
—Romans 8:14

It took me a long time to start minding the checks from Father. The Holy Spirit would be giving me a subtle witness in my spirit, telling me, “No, don’t do that.” But I wouldn’t pay attention. I would just do it anyway. Eventually I realized this was hurting me and, more importantly, hurting Father. And slowly over time, I learned to pay attention to those subtle checks of the Holy Spirit.

Perhaps you’re the same way. Maybe God is checking you about certain things in your life—a relationship, your words, your diet, your attitude, or a financial decision—but you’re not paying attention, so you keep finding yourself surrounded by chaos. Being led by God’s Spirit is a matter of learning to heed the checks of the Holy Spirit and discern when the peace of God is nudging you to go forward.

Beloved one, the Holy Spirit is a real person you can experience right here and now. And He is speaking to you and bearing witness with your heart. If you will make it your ambition to stop walking in your own self-will and open your ears to Him, you will learn to walk by the Spirit. Father desires to be involved in all the decisions you make. If you desire to live under the direction of the Lord, listen like never before to the gentle voice of the Spirit and consider Him in everything you do

Stay in Balance!

  Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat. Mark 6:31 Stay in Balance Everywhere Jesus went, He was healing people, teaching in the synagogues, pouring Himself into His disciples. People made constant demands on His time and energies. Imagine how He felt. As the Son of God, He had this incredible power, anointing, wisdom, so much to offer. Yet at times, when He was exhausted, He would go away from the crowds and get alone so He could be refreshed. Despite the pressing needs around Him, Jesus knew that He had to take care of His temple.  If the Son of God had to be alone and rest, if He couldn’t meet all the demands of the people around Him, why do we think we can go all the time and be everything for everyone? No matter how anointed, strong, smart, or gifted you are, you get depleted. Despite all the needs around you, yo...

Give Cheerfully!

        Give Cheerfully “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”  (2 Corinthians 9:7) When giving is done with the right attitude, it can be a gateway for God to move in significant ways in our lives. It is important to remember that it is not the amount we give that matters so much as it is the attitude that characterizes our giving. God loves it when we give out of a cheerful and grateful heart. God’s loving of a cheerful giver results in God taking action in our lives. Scripture states unequivocally that God will make all spiritual and earthly blessing abound to us so we can multiply our efforts for the kingdom. This is why I believe giving provides a major gateway for God to work in our lives, we can expect God to visit us. Jesus will fellowship with the cheerful giver, and the Holy Spirit will impart life to out mortal bodies. When we weave a pattern of giving...
