Spirit of God

"The Lord is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid" - Isaiah 12:2 NKJV

Some of us plan our lives. There is nothing wrong with that apart from - will you be alive then? To be able to see your plan being accomplished?

No, I didn't think of that. 

 Proverbs 27:1 says "Do not plan out tomorrow - for you know not what it brings". Most of the time, we want to be organised and planned out. That's fine when it comes to work, business etc. But it's not fine when we are in God's presence. We are supposed to let God be in charge when we are in His presence. Jesus said that when we should pray, we shouldn't let anyone see us. We shouldn't let anyone distract us either. Because Satan knows that when you are in God's presence, your fire kindles all the more. And he knows that when you meditate on the Word, the fire kindles more. So, he uses distractions. Here are a few:

  •  Looking out of the window 
  • Crying, shouting, arguing from another room 
  • Ringing phones
  • Anything, really
When you are in God's presence, those things don't mean anything anymore. Hallelujah! You may of course hear them, but you are so...'wrapped up ' should I say in the presence of God. The presence of God lives in us. How? Because God lives in us. Take a look: 
"I will not leave you comfortless, I will come to you" - John 14:18 
Jesus said, HE WILL COME TO US. HOW? THROUGH THE HOLY GHOST!!!!! 
The Holy Ghost, Jesus and God are all God, and do not 'make up' God as some Pastors may preach. God's presence is more valuable than we think. When we are in the presence of God, there's no room for nonsense. God's presence follows those who he really dwells in, and their behaviour reflects it too. They now carry the spirit of God wherever they go! We clearly do not deserve to be in God's presence - after all we've all sinned (Rom 3:23). We should be grateful, and always be in fellowship with God

Humble Is Best!

Direct my footsteps according to your Word; let no sin rule over me. Psalm 119:133  |  NIV   We need to let God's Word rule our lives, directing our footsteps on our journey through life. God is our Director leading us-even of the path LOOKS right, it doesn't mean it IS right. God knows best so we shouldn't be no-it-alls. Humble your self!

What makes faith work? Learn MORE about faith in this devotional...

"That according to the riches of His glory, He may grant you to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith..." - Ephesians 3:16-17 KJV Okay. I wanted to talk a little bit more on faith. When Paul writes 'dwell in your hearts through faith' what does it mean? This means that we have to show our confidence and belief in Christ, before He comes into our hearts. He knows when we want to trick Him or not. So don't bother being cunning! Because wisdom comes from the Lord! So, if our human efforts cannot make faith to work, what can? (Zechariah 4:6) Our confidence and belief in Jesus! We just have to say, "Jesus, take care of this for me. I don't want to any more. I can't do it by my own power." Acknowledging that you can't do it alone, gives you the first step forward. Then comes the hard bit. When I mean hard, I mean HARD. Because most people people fall away aft...

Black = Normal post Bold = Question  "Call unto Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." - Jeremiah 33:3.  Many people either don't believe in God, or become atheists, partly because of this question: Why doesn't God answer some of my prayers?  Answer: This is because of your heart.

Ask yourself these questions and their surely will be an answer.  But why must I ask myself these questions?  " So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart" - 2 Timothy 2:22    If we are not thinking good thoughts or have sinned by mistake or not, we have sta...
