What Spirit?

The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.

We know, according to 2 Timothy 1:7, that God has not given us a Spirit if fear. Alright then, what Spirit has God given us? Well, let's read: 
“God didn’t give us a cowardly spirit but a spirit of power, love, and good judgment.”
2 Timothy 1:7 GW

So, it is a Spirit of power, love and good judgement. What power has he given us? Well, the Bible says that Jesus lives in us and we are in Him. Which means we also have the power of Jesus, to heal, deliver and save others. The power in Christ is incomprehensible and is our weapon to defeat Satan. This power must be kept running; like petrol is needed for a car. Our 'petrol' is the Word and our oil is prayer. But it's not just reading the Word. It is understanding it by revelation, which you can only get through the Holy Spirit. Let Him guide your thoughts as you meditate on His Word today.

We have everything we ever need or ever will need - the only thing you have to do is activate it. The power in the name of Jesus, as soon as you activate it, is ready and available to use. Anyone can say Jesus, but they can't use its power because it's either:  A) not given to them or  B) they don't believe.  What can I do to activate the power?  To activate this power, you need faith and full relying on God. No matter what, even in temptation. You see, a Christian's life is one with more temptation. But that's good - because:  A) We overcome them all!  B) It's when we show and display J...

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!

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...
