Absorbing God’s Word
“Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy.” 1 Corinthians 14:1
Applying God’s Word
Last week God had me write about Pentecost and His Holy Spirit. God asked me to follow that up by saying that His love for us is not based on who accepts or rejects His Holy Spirit. He loves each of us equally, but wants much more for us. By accepting His Holy Spirit a whole new world is opened up to us along with powerful new gifts.
The first half of my Christian journey had me busy with many wonderful good works for God. The second half of my Christian journey has had me busy with many wonderful good works also. The difference is, that in the second half I have been doing those good works with God and not just for God.
The change came through a deep session of repentance and surrender, the rejection of Satan and all his works, the acceptance of Jesus as my Lord and savior, and my permission for God to release His Holy Spirit in me. If you haven’t experienced this, I highly recommend it.
Accounting of God’s Word
Do I eagerly desire the gifts of God’s Holy spirit?
