Living in the Spirit

Lord,

 I pray that I would develop in grace and live my life in spirit and truth as You would have in me. 

Help me to be kind, compassionate, hospitable, and courteous to others. May I love others as Christ has loved me and given Himself for me. Help me to be a person of forgiveness and grace, putting others ahead of myself. Give me a compassionate and loving heart in my interactions with others, especially those who are straying from the path of righteousness. Keep me humble in front of You, lest I offend and disrespect Your sacred name. 

I pray in Jesus mighty name.

Amen

Galatians 5:25 Live by the Spirit 

The enemy cannot defeat you if he can’t disarm you.

The enemy cannot defeat you if he can’t disarm you.

Ephesians 6:10-20
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.


~~~Reflections~~~

Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.  Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—  and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel,  for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

~~~Prayer~~~

 Lord, Thank you for always keeping me prepared. Completely armed at all times with the whole armor of God. You ready me, in all situations. My enemy cannot defeat me, for he can not disarm me with your armor.  Thank You Jesus

GOD is spirit

John 4:24

But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to wop in spirit and truth.”






~~~Reflections~~~

It pleases God for you to worship Him.
He longs to have sincere worshipers who worship and adore him.
He longs for you to have a sincere heart of worship. 
To Worship in the Spirit.
For God is a Spirit. 

God is Spirit, and those who worship Him, are called to worship in 

with our hearts, minds, soul and all our strength are open to His Love and Grace, 
that we can worship in Spirit and Truth. 
The place and timing are not of importance to God.
 He doesn't care where you worship him.
You can be in a barn, in your closet, or in a  church. The place doesn't matter. 
The time doesn't matter. Day noon or night.
Your surroundings are good for nothing.
It is not the right place, but with the right heart that matters.
It is the true passion and desire to worship God that you worship in Spirit and Truth.
He desires you to come worship and adore Him in the Spirit and in with a true heart. 


~~~Prayer~~~
Father, we set aside all worldly thoughts, and invite you Holy Spirit in. You Father are Holy and Worthy to be worshipped.  We come before you with a heart of adoration and gratitude. Holy, Holy, Holy are you. Glory be to you LORD GOD MOST HIGH.
Amen

Ephesians 3:14-21

For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,  that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,  that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height, to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen

Hebrews 13:5

Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

~~~Reflections~~~

When I think about all that God has in store for our futures, It makes my head spin.
We are about to accelerate beyond those challenges or building bricks that built our faith from of our past and into the fullness of our destiny!

Does 't matter if you have a huge pile of bricks, small pile or a of bricks. Some of your bricks may have been shattered, some may have been neatly cleaned up with your faith. All those bricks of Faith were used to build up your faith, so you could be bold, strong and gain understanding that He will always be with you and never forsake you!   The future where we are about to have a growth spurt in knowledge and understanding, the comprehension of Faith, Love and the and the fullness of the Lord. That He is going to do exceedingly abundantly above all we can ask for or think of.

The light switch is about to be turned on.  Knowledge and Understanding is welcomed here. Thank You Lord for Faith, knowledge, Love, and Understanding  and the fullness of the Lord. For strengthening our souls with your Overflowing Love and Trust in You.
How do we do this? Spending time with the Lord. By designating time with the Lord. Worshipping, Word, and Prayer. Telling Him Thank You. Ask him to give you the understanding of his Word.  Use us Lord, Accelerate us with Boldness and Faith abundantly.  Build us up Lord. In Jesus Name we pray.

The first day!

Genesis1:1-5

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night.
So the evening and the morning were the first day.

Subjection to the Father

Hebrews 12:9  (NKJV)

 Furthermore, we have had human fathers who CORRECTED us, and we paid them respect. 

Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?

God is Spirit

John 4:24 (AKJV)

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

with you in spirit

Colossians 2:5-6
For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.  




As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:

John Bore witness

John 1:32
And John bore witness, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained upon him.

Behold, My Servant!

Matthew 12:15-21

Behold, My Servant

¹⁵ But when Jesus knew it, He withdrew from there. And great multitudes^[a] followed Him, and He healed them all. ¹⁶ Yet He warned them not to make Him known, ¹⁷ that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:

¹⁸ “Behold! My Servant whom I have chosen,
My Beloved in whom My soul is well pleased!
I will put My Spirit upon Him,
And He will declare justice to the Gentiles.
¹⁹ He will not quarrel nor cry out,
Nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets.
²⁰ A bruised reed He will not break,
And smoking flax He will not quench,
Till He sends forth justice to victory;
²¹ And in His name Gentiles will trust.”
