Living "By" Faith With The Holy Spirit |
|
Animals are led by a rope around their neck. Willingly, Jesus was led from the Garden the same way. Today the Holy Spirit wants to lead us in everything we do. The problem comes with our old nature, we want to do everything our own way. Ago is the Greek word for led and/or to lead. It is the root word for Agon and where we get the word agony. When we gave our life to Christ we were sealed with the Holy Spirit and agape love was imputed. Every morning I open my closet and decide what I am going to wear. Then I get dressed. I also have a closet within me that holds a love that only comes from God. If I don't open it and dress myself from my heart closet, the agape love won't do a lot of good. I believe most Christians in our churches choose not to be led and may not know when God is talking to them. That is what motivates this blog. BEING BORN FROM ABOVE While there is no special formula to follow to be born from above, there are certain things we must know and do. What we must know: > That we are sinners who are hopelessly lost and under condemnation of death. Spiritual death is everlasting separation from God in Hell. > We cannot save ourselves by any effort of our own. > That Jesus Christ, God's Son, died on the cross and rose from the dead to pay the penalty of our sin. What we must do: > Admit to God that we have sinned, and deserve the penalty of death. > Receive Jesus as our personal Savior. > Acknowledge Christ as our Savior and Lord by confessing Him with our mouth. What God will do: > Make us safe. > Forgive all our sins. > Give us eternal life. Do you want to be sure? If so, pray something like this (or use your own words). Lord Jesus, I have sinned against you, and I deserve hell. I believe You died in my place to pay the penalty for all my sins. Right now, be merciful to me and save me. I trust you as my Lord and Savior and commit my life to you. Amen. If you received the Lord as your Savior - e-mail me. Quihadi  |
| "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being shall flow rivers of living water.' " "But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified." (John 7:38-39 NASB) FLOW (GK:reho) as a rushing stream overflowing its banks and inseparable partners - the Holy Spirit and Jesus Jesus depended on His flow of power flow of wisdom flow of counsel flow of ability flowing through Him flowing upon Him so are believers to be as Jesus was in His earthly ministry Quihadi |
| "But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves." James 1:22 (NASB) POIETES (GK for poet and create) Be creative like a poet be practical be alive the Holy Spirit is never short of ideas share His word be a doer Quihadi |
| ...He abides with you and will be in you...John 14:17 (NASB) Humin (GK for in you) The Holy Spirit of God literally abides in me no longer temporary or fleeting as people in the Old Testament He took up residency and dwells permanently never moves never wavers never packs His bags He is not a guest He is my Partner He will take me to Heaven one day Quihadi |
"And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption." Ephesians 4:30 (NASB) when we act like the world talk like the world believe like the world respond like the world the Spirit of God feels shock feels hurt feels grief He longs for us He thinks about us He desires to be close to us He wants to reveal Himself to us He lives within and will always be within I will not drag Him down a mire of sin For He would go with me again Quihadi |
