An Easier Way to Live
View all responsesSomeone said that lazy people look for an easier way to do things. Perhaps all of us humans need an easier way to do life. Instead of constantly stressing and striving to feel better about our self-image, perhaps we should allow the One who promises inner peace to take full and absolute control of our life.
Jesus Christ wants to immerse you with the Holy Spirit and fire and purify you (Luke 3:16-17) so that He can clearly and brightly shine through you and make you (yes you) a light to this world like a city on a hill that cannot be hidden. (Matthew 5:14-16)
Receive the word of God that is coming to you in your wilderness, not like a textbook that speaks to your mind with information, but like a love letter that speaks to your heart with life-transforming passion. Receive this word from the living Jesus now. Receive the never-ending power and presence of God the Holy Spirit in the depths of your heart! “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)
To be an effective witness for Christ learn to flow in loving obedience to the still small voice (1 Kings 19:11-13) of the Holy Spirit’s inner rivers. (John 7:38-39) Let God’s living water produce and overflow the fruit of His Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) within you until all can see Christ only always living in and through you. (Acts 1:8)
To be an effective witness for Jesus, instead of trying to talk people into making some kind of religious decision, simply approach them with such great love, kindness, and caring that it warms their heart and enables them to feel and see Christ, Himself, living in and through you. Witnessing about Jesus isn’t about talking somebody into making a religious decision. It’s about personally showing someone such amazing love that they know that it couldn’t be coming from you but could only be coming from God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
“Blessed are the pure in heart.” (Matthew 5:8) Let Jesus purify you from deep within. Fully and continually surrender your heart and life to God. Church attendance without Spirit-led, heart-to-heart community (Hebrews 10:25) misses the main point of Christianity. (2 Timothy 3:5)
Be a Holy Spirit soaker,
Not a Holy Spirit choker.
Constantly soak up His presence.
Be led by the Holy Spirit.
When He speaks in your heart hear it,
Obey it, and do not choke it.
(Revelation 2:7, 1 Thessalonians 5:19, Matthew 13:22)
