To hear the voice of the Holy Spirit we must train to practice quiet moments. After prayer can be quiet n still as your read and after learn to be quiet as you mediate or just have quiet prayer without words by sitting in the presence of God. His voice can come through your thoughts. be still mean to not move neither make noise.
The words spoken by men and thier faces can make you afriad. Every word and expression be not afriad of them. Jeremiah1:8 ,Ezekiel 2:6 kjv
Keep our germent pure out of sin why, sin, will draw the angels away leaving you without protection. Sin is food for the enemy when they spot it then it has access. any open gate or door shows that anyone can come in. its for your own god that you strive to do rigthand walk right. We are called to Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil walketh about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren who are in the world.(1peter 5:8-9kjv)
(To be awake, watchful .NOTE a christain walking in the light of God is being watch for any given opportunity but remember as they watch you so God has also surround you with protection. resist the sin when it present itself , here you have the power to say no in faith.)
For this reason we must have the culture of repenting. Now repenting is not saying am sorry and you again do the wrong, its to turn away from, just as when you got born again there are things you were delivered from, there are things that you stop doing and knew within you that it was wrong that knowing is the Spirit of truth teaching you and showing you the way to go and as you contiune reading and abiding in the word you will discovered more and things that seems , right and others are doing that its not right. the good news is you have the power of God, the word in you to help break that hindrance and strongholds depending on what you are fighting some more go away quick but some may take time and ,may even require asking for help /someone to stand with you untill you are delivered. Its why we are commanded to confess our sin one to another, when you do that the first step of victory, be aware it a battle have your armour in full gear for you are not fighting man but spirits it must be Spirit to spirits continue in the word, with prayer and fasting.
There is no name or any things greater that the name ofJesus, be encouraged that your brethren are also going through the same issue but just as they have overcomed and are overcoming so you too in faith will get the victory only lose no hope its a season and it must happen its part of the journey of christainty. God has provide us with every things, all weapons needed to over come, for this reason sometime the testimony of others often encourages us to go forth but even if you never hear any in line with you case understand that the Lord Jesus overcame every things and all things but this is all got in faith and faith worker with love , love will make you desire the things of God and hence you are furthering yourself away from darkness and into light. if you will, all things are possible.
Every thing that God created is pure, its only became impure because sin come in, those of Adam were naked but they couldnot see it but as soon as they eat the fruit, then they knew that they were nake disobediencs leads to death
You can never win when you are angry , you are at the mercy of your enemy .
Every thing happens in the spiritual before it comes to physical God answers prayer right on time. keep on keeping up on the faith.never give up. then will your see your reply.
Christainty is a full time job , its not sunday services, christain concert, its not when l feel like,we donot operate in feeling but in truth.
Three things . knowledge,understanding .wisdom, and distribute. all of these requires you loving the word of God, its in that way you find wisdom and apply and distribute help you to accomplish the task.
1Ecclesiastes 7:12 -14
For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.
Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?
In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.
Every trials is an invitation to surrender , to growth. Suffering bring closes to God , it give you an awareness to submission.if you will not refuse it.
1Peter 3:6KJV
Likewise ye wives be in subjection to your own husbands that if any obey not the word ,they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives.
Conversation is not neccessary how we speak but also how we conduct ourselves,bringing out every good that is in us because of Jesus.
Its say if any obey not the word -he doesnot agree with the laws of God. even without the word he can be won over in how the wife who has the word in her must be seen in her ways trust ,manner (peace)and submission that way the husbands will be won over having witness her behaviour.
Many wives force their husbands into church ,tell them scripture but their behavoiur offend the gospel that is why they refuse because they donot see Christ in you but when you change your ways and stop trying to be Holy Spirit by force you shall see the change. Now to some it may be months and some even years there is not telling how long the working of the Holy spirit but the word in you will tell you to be patiences and continue in well doing ,and if you will behold and see ,it your paths of growth bringing the best in you as you wait.(NOTE! its not speaking of you with understanding marrying unblieving husband or wive, but those who were not born again and one of then get saved.)
The 3 chapter of 1 peter 3:6 kjv teaches us just how we should live and behave. although it focus mainly on how the wivies should behave with their unblieveing husbands to who have refused to obey the word of God. I believe we can take this and use it through our conducts, manners and conversation and apply it at our work place, and friends, ubelieving family that they can see a different in us .quoting verses and leaving outside what you are preaching will put them further from you, but we must practise how to adorn ourselves as the bride of Christ.This days beauty is focus on the outside and everyone pay great attention to that, in like manner as we invest time and money to appear smart let us not be overly taken that we forget the purpose of the calling . We must rather use that time and effort in cleaning up ourselves throught the word that we make our body/ temple fit for the Holy Spirit to come and dwell, for with Him,with us it will be easy to live a life pleasing unto the father which is the goal of salvation, Hear me, am not ruling it off that you shouldnot look good No! you should be, seeing you represent Christ . We are asked to adorn our inner man and in the abundances that we have stored it will flow through easily bringing out humilty and a quiet spirit
Perfect submission is perfect delight. If you can submit as awife. lf you can submit to authority as achild. lf you can submit to you boss and supervisor even if you are more highly qualified than them. lf you can saw respect to an elders rich or poor. then you can submit to God. all this is to help us to remain humble.
Adorn yourselves as a bride for Christ not the outward appearance but the inward so that when the King return He will find you without spots. in body ,soul and spirit'
In the days of king Xerxes when vashti had to been removed from being queen there were different virgrins sought out from all over the land , they had to go thru 12month of beauty treatment with oil and special food they spent this much time to look good.(we can also consecrate time to work on our inwards parts make it beautiful with the word which is the special food and our oil is the holy Spirit. then they appear before the king and whoever pleased the king he make her queen. Esther was found to be fair and beautiful .she had feavour with Hegai the in charge of women, her beauty was not only out ward but inward she would later be found worthy to appear and ask the king to save her people.
1peter 2;23kjv8(proverbs 2429,lav 19:18,job31:29-31, 1thessalonians 5:15
Who, when he was reviled, reveiled not again;when he suffered,he threatned not but committed himself to him that judge righteously:
When they insult you and call you names, be simply ,say noithing and bless, that is how we win. when they cheat on you thanks the Lord, When they tell lies on you, bless, and stop defending your self. When they fight you turn the other check, When they belittle you rise and walk tall and bless, pray for them ,never agure with them nor be caused to angry or wrong thoughts of them. Rest in the Lord and Move forward as you continue to move you are growing and gaining a postion and postion of power so that one day will be able to help them out of the darkness .All that they bring is to stop you , its the fruits of the flesh and we die everyday to the flesh but God will use it as apart of the tool for your journey, and training. The gospel must still be preached ,those that rise against you some of them are your brothers and sister still in the world and they are helping you in ways you donot know, but also through your responds its will be atestment to the lost on the day of visitation when the Lord comes to them and they will say yes and amen.
All types of sins fights against what is good in me. lts stops me from doing good also to others. We called God our Father but we think ill of the same person created in His image, We refuse to forgive but we ask God to forgive us. would you be pleased if you heard what other thought of you. God is Holy we are called to be Holy. Stop doing wrongs things and donot allow people to sin in your house.
