“There is a way that seems right to a man but its end is death.” Proverbs 16:12
This word was given to me by God on my walk yesterday. The starting point with Jesus is accepting your poverty and inability to match up to the standards of God.
and lean not on your own understanding.
You and I are impoverished human beings lacking the values of Christ. We live for self; God lives for you. He has no ego.
The heart desire of Christ Jesus is to offer salvation to all lost souls and to help believers live with the quality and abundance of Christ.
You will find the richness of Christ living by faith and trusting in the promises of God. There is no other way.
Your faith will fill you with the righteousness of Christ. Without faith you cannot please God.
Think of yourself as a human vessel engineered to live for self. This can only be overcome by the life of Christ living within you in the form of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit has to be nourished through prayer, the blood of Christ, and dwelling in the word of Christ.
Worship Christ in Spirit and Truth always listening for His voice.
The hard lesson of life for a believer is understanding God gives and He takes. The seasons of your life are under the authority of Christ. You cannot change the mind of Christ; you have to live in submission to Christ and walk by faith.
