Are you really walking by the Holy Spirit or have you rendered Him powerless in your life?
Consider the following 3 sets of verses:
1) 1 John 4:13 - "This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit."
2) John 14:22 - Jesus said: "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father." (we should be seeing the Spirit of God manifesting through our lives as He did in Jesus)
3) Galatians 5:19-23 - "19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance (patience), kindness, goodness, faithfullness (faith), 23 gentleness and self-control..." (If we are living by the Spirit, if we are truly allowing the Spirit to flow and manifest through us, His fruit will be apparent in our lives).
IS THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT MANIFESTING DAILY IN YOUR LIFE? The Bible isnt talking about you trying to be a good person or copy or emulate the Fruit of the Spirit (that's disobedience and a sin).
If it is not change it today. Seek God more and more, get rid of the distractions. There is something incredible waiting for you.
Roman's 11:29 - "29 for God’s GIFTS and his CALL are irrevocable."
Ephesians 1:3 - "3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ."
Is God thinking:
"I am happy with my churches, they have put aside their flesh (personal skills, ideas, abilities) and are allowing My Spirit to flow and manifest My Fruit and Gifts through them".
Or is God thinking:
"My churches have become a place where people are trying to please Me by doing good deeds and works in the flesh and ignoring my Spirit"?
Do you understand the difference?
