How Jesus deals with an incorrigible personality!

The word from God today is incorrigible which describes a person who is not willing to be corrected, improved or reformed.

This character defect is alive in both believers and non believers. This can be caused by a genetic disposition for sin or someone who has given into the desires of the flesh and crossed the line into a stronghold of Satan.

The power of Christ can help anyone with a incorrigible personality. All it requires is an open heart to God and a willingness to change. God will do the rest.

For a Christ follower, it is essential to be open to the conviction of the Holy Spirit. Make a practice of opening yourself up to God for correction. God knows you better than you know yourself. He examines your every thought and looks at your motives.

if you resist correction God will bring adversity into your life to get your attention.

In many situations, the work of God will be accomplished by intercession through the Body of Christ.

The Christ follower will stand in the gap for the person under a stronghold of Satan. This involves vigilant prayer and an agonizing battle dealing with the powers of darkness. The principle of intercession is based on “Filling up your flesh with the afflictions of Christ for His body, the church.” 

God works through the Holy Spirit dwelling inside you to intercede for the lost soul. Most of this work is done below your consciousness. Many times you will identify with the feelings and personality of the person in bondage to sin.

God delights in bringing down strongholds and setting people free. 

Intercession begins and ends with God. This is a Holy calling and Jesus gives you the keys to the kingdom of God.

Don’t look for results through intercession look for the approval of God.

Intercessors literally fulfill the role of “Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven.”
