Jesus warns those who are set in their ways!

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Philippians 2:12-13

The word today from the Holy Spirit is intransigent which is defined as unwilling or refusing to change one’s views or to agree about something different.

We must respond by faith to the life changing nature created within a believer.

The journey with Jesus is about experiencing different seasons and accepting lifestyle changes. There is no predictably with Jesus. The Christ follower must be open to change and let go of the past. 

If a believer is set in his ways and not open to change he will not experience the fullness of Jesus or be able to live in the reality of the Living Christ.

Jesus asks a believer to follow in His footsteps. The wind (Holy Spirit) blows where it desires and we cannot tell where it is coming from or where it is going. This is the life of a “born again” believer. We walk by faith and trust the promises of Jesus and not what we see with our eyes.

The Holy Spirit gives a believer the mind of Christ and guides him into the perfect will of Jesus. 

Jesus died on the Cross for all humanity and believers are to follow the example of Jesus and live by this precept; “Not my will but Yours be done.”

Walk in oneness with Jesus anchored to the Holy Spirit. Commit your works each day to Jesus and pray for His omniscient wisdom.

Listen for the voice of God and respond with obedience to His instructions. Don’t allow your reluctance or stubbornness to stand in the way of obeying Jesus.

We are mere mortals and want security but Jesus wants our security to be in Him.
