Saturday Wrap #206


Touching Base.


  I think it is always a good thing to re-check the basics.

Spiritual growth results from trusting Jesus Christ. "The righteous man shall live by faith".
A life of faith will enable you to trust God increasingly with every detail of your life, and to practice the following:

 

      Go to God in prayer daily .
      (John 15:7)
      If ye abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you 

      Read God's Word daily
      (Acts 17:11)
      These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so

      Obey God moment by moment
      (John 14:21).
      He that has My commandments, and keeps to them, he it is that loves Me: and he that loves Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

      Witness for Christ by your life and words
      (Matthew 4:19).
      And
      he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

      Trust God for every detail of your life
      (1 Peter 5:7).
      Casting
      all your care upon Him; for he cares for you.

      Allow Him (through the Holy Spirit) to control and empower your daily life
      (Galatians 5:16,17)
      16
      This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
      17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that you cannot do the things that you would.
