In order for us to become properly developed and on the path of spiritual adulthood, we must be totally and completely yielded to the Lord. In order for us to develop properly, our spirit must be in unity with God's. We, as Mothers, should understand this more than anyone. We want our children to be properly developed, healthy and grow up to be well rounded adults. In order for that to happen, we must feed them, cloth them, train them and guide them. We are here to help them become all they were meant to be. Daddy God feels the same...even more, about US! We are HIS children and He wants US to be properly developed, healthy, well rounded daughters who have the wisdom and spiritual maturity to fulfill His purpose for us. The ONLY way for this to happen is if we are yielded to the Holy Spirit. Walking IN the spirit. Totally submitted to God. How can we do this? There are several things that help us move towards spiritual adulthood. Know His Word. We need to be in the Word … [Read more...]
Walking in the Spirit – Maturity Levels
<–back to Walking in the Spirit Main But 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.

Walking in the Spirit – Being Led
<–back to Walking in the Spirit Main For 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...]
