Value God

Steeped in the Word

7 – The Spirit of God

Well then, am I suggesting that the law of God is sinful? Of course not! In fact, it was the law that showed me my sin. I would never have known that coveting is wrong if the law had not said, “You must not covet.” Romans 7:7 NLT

Value God\n

God calls you Holy. You were created to be set apart for His purposes. Don\u2019t listen to the voices saying you are less. You are a child of the One True God.\n

When you\u2019re a child of God, you must learn to value what your heavenly Father values. So, what does He value? Good question!\n

1 The presence of God. This is personal encounter. It\u2019s here you learn to become completely dependent on His manifest presence in your life. You make a big deal out of seeking Him and finding Him. You want Him in every part of your life and want to know what He thinks because you want to be in agreement with Him.\n

2 The Word of God.\u00a0This is about personal communication. You need a huge value for His Word, both spoken and written. I love hearing Him speak \u2013 and He uses numbers, stars, dreams, visions, music, encounter, and prophecy in addition to the Bible. Learn to hear Him in these things!\n

3 Mystery and waiting.\u00a0This is about strategy and decisive action. At times, you are responsible for partnering with Him to plan and make strategic moves. You\u2019re also responsible for waiting on Him in things you don\u2019t even know how to articulate. You will value daring to step into the unknown.\n

4 Supernatural experiences. Those who live life forward know nothing is impossible because of Jesus Christ. It\u2019s perfectly natural to live supernatural lives. Refuse to consider any other notion.\n

When you value these four things, nothing is impossible! You will bring Heaven to earth and people will see the goodness of God. This is how people get saved.\n

Jesus gave them this answer:\u00a0\u2018Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these, so that you will be amazed.\u2019\u00a0\u2013 John 5:19-20","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

Jesus-driven thinking helps and heals. This is what the Bible has to say on the subject: For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. \u2013 Romans 8:6\n

The Cherokee nation knew it, too. Check out this spot-on tribal tale:\n

An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life. He told the boy, \u201cA terrible fight is going on inside me. It is a fight between two wolves. One wolf is evil. He is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and self-doubt.\"\n

The old man continued: \u201cThe other wolf is good. He is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.\u201d He then told the boy, \u201cThis same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person, too.\u201d\n

The grandson thought about it for a minute, then asked his grandfather, \u201cWhich wolf will win?\u201d The wise old chief replied, \u201cThe one you feed.\u201d\n

What wolf have you been feeding? Just know the wolf of evil thoughts will eventually devour you, and likely others as well. Thoughts become actions, and there is always collateral damage.\n

That\u2019s not you! You can control your thought life and ensure the evil wolf starves to death."}},"slug":"et_pb_blurb"}">Value God

Grounded in FaithDeclare!

My life is lived through the in-dwelling Spirit of God in me. I stand amazed that the Creator of all the universe sent His Son to die so I can live a Spirit-filled life. How wonderful and glorious my life is because of Him.
