I honestly am the last person that deserves the privilege to write to you, but I am absolutely grateful for the amazing way the Holy Spirit brings life to the Word and allows me to share what He says. I did not live a life that glorified my Father and worshipped Him with reverence, and I called myself a Christian but lacked the fear of God.
The minute I changed that, my entire life changed and the way I looked at an obstacle, or a challenge took an entirely new dimension. This morning the Holy Spirit is reminding me that we who belong to Jesus have already experienced crucifixion, because our past (self-life) has been put to death and we now life a new life in the Kingdom of God.
Yes, my friend when you gave your life to Jesus you became a citizen of heaven and you are no longer part of this broken world. The Holy Spirit now is the very source of our day-to-day and our guide, councilor and protector. So, as God says do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by renewing your mind.
A renewed mind enables us to recognize, approve, and live out God's "good, acceptable, and perfect" will. It moves us from following our own desires to understanding God's will. In this way we will live to do God’s will out of love and not fear and out of reverence and not manipulation. God says in Samuel 15 “To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams”. Jesus also said blessed are those who hear the Word of God and obey it. My friend, seek the guidance and the council of the Holy Spirt in all aspects of your life and live to live by the Spirit.
Have an awesome day.
