Lately, God has been nagging me with the same Scripture over and over and over again.If I stress out, He reminds me of it.If I start worrying about anything, He reminds me of it.If I wallow in self pity, He reminds me of it.If I begin to feel sad, angry or any emotion that is not happy, peaceful and content--He reminds me of it.I am now convinced that it really is a message from the Lord that is quite powerful for all of His children. I believe it is the CURE for unhappiness, depression, worry...and many mentally developed issues we have.Before I go further: I am not telling you to go against a doctor's advice, stop taking medication, or anything like that...That is between you, your doctor and God. I AM saying that I am convinced that if we would take God at His Word; we may find ourselves on less pills, paying less psychiatric bills, and feeling less crappy. What is this so-called "cure", you ask?? Well, it is in God's Word: Don’t worry about anything; … [Read more...]
TweetWalking in the Spirit – Maturity Levels
<–back to Walking in the Spirit MainBut the natural, nonspiritual man does not accept or welcome or admit into his heart the gifts and teachings and revelations of the Spirit of God, for they are folly (meaningless nonsense) to him; and he is incapable of knowing them [of progressively recognizing, understanding, and becoming better acquainted with them] because they are spiritually discerned and estimated and appreciated.But the spiritual man tries all things.

Level One: Infancy...aka...baby Christians. Most Christians never get past this … [Read more...]
TweetWalking in the Spirit – Being Led
<–back to Walking in the Spirit MainFor all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. - Romans 8:14 (NLT)Being led by the Holy Spirit means allowing Him to work in us and giving God complete control over our lives. It is allowing God to be what He is...King. In a kingdom, the people obey the King. Period.Unfortunately, in today's ever increasingly sin-filled culture submitting to anyone other than self is for mindless morons. I am hear to say it is just the opposite. Submitting to Daddy God does not make you a mindless moron. Quite the opposite actually, it makes you wise, filled with peace, and on a path that leads to life.God is All Powerful. He does not need us. He could have made us mindless beings that did His bidding. However, He created us with free will and all He desires is for us to come willingly to Him. He desires to break bread with us and have friendship.Submitting to the Holy Spirit is an act of love in worship to our Daddy God. He … [Read more...]
