Pastor's Column

“Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. Let us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another.”

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭25‬-‭26‬ ‭NLT‬‬

 

These are not Spirit led actions.

 

There is peace in being led by God's Spirit.

 

When we allow the Holy Spirit to guide and direct our thoughts, actions, and decisions, we find peace.

 

This transformative process requires surrendering our will to God will and diligently listening for the Holy Spirit's prompting.

 

It's about aligning oneself with Christ and walking in accordance with the Spirit, rather than being driven by the desires of the flesh.

 

The desires of the flesh are:

 

“For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world.”

‭‭1 John‬ ‭2‬:‭16‬ ‭NLT‬‬

 

“And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.”

‭‭1 John‬ ‭2‬:‭17‬ ‭NLT‬‬

 

Lord God,

I am so looking forward to spending all eternity with You in Paradise. But while I am here, help me do Your Will by listening to the prompting of Your Spirit.

In Jesus’ Name I Pray,

Amen, Amen.
