Change your way of thinking thru God's power.. |
Thursday, January 06, 2011 "Move ahead, doing the right thing in spite of your fears and feelings. This is how you cooperate with the Holy Spirit." As we discussed yesterday, our obedience unlocks God's power. God waits for you to act first. Don't wait to feel powerful or confident. Move ahead, doing the right thing in spite of your fears and feelings. This is how you cooperate with the Holy Spirit. We're told throughout the New Testament to "make every effort" to grow in faith, to become more like Jesus (for instance, Luke 13:24; Romans 14:19; Ephesians 4:3). We don't just sit around and wait for it to happen. We deepen our faith each time we are obedient to the commands of Jesus. For instance - We must choose to let go of old ways of acting. "Everything ... connected with that old way of life has to go. It's rotten through and through. Get rid of it!" (Ephesians 4:22 Msg) |
