Hebrews 6:18 (NKJV)
... impossible
for God to lie...
2 Corinthians 4:4 (NKJV)
... (People's) minds the god of this age has
blinded...
1 John 5:19 (NKJV)
... the
whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one (Satan).
9 The
Lord is ...not willing that any should perish but that all should come to
repentance.
God's will is not being done on earth as it is in
heaven.
If it was, everyone on earth would be joining God in
heaven with Him after they die.
Deuteronomy 30(NKJV)
19 I (Moses)
call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set
before you life and death, blessing and cursing;
therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;
20 that
you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice,
and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and
the length of your days;
If God is controlling everything, you choose cannot
be.
God is not controlling you unless you allow Him
too.
John 4 (NKJV)
23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the
true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth;
for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.
7 Jesus
said to him, “It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt
the Lord your God.’ ”
What we do effects what happens to us. If you do stupid stuff and not listen to God, it
will cost you.
Revelation 3 (NKJV)
20 Behold, I (Jesus) stand at the
door and knock.
If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I
will come in to him and dine
with him, and he with Me.
If you don't ask Jesus in, He won't come.
John 4 (NKJV)
24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and
truth.”
John 14 (NKJV)
6 Jesus
said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the
life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
John 6 (NKJV)
63 It
is the Spirit who gives life;
the flesh profits nothing. The words that I (Jesus) speak to you are
spirit, and they are life.
If you've invited Jesus to live within you, He is in
you.
When you yield yourself to Him, He will manifest
Himself to you.
God speaks to us through a thought that we realize has
come from Him which lines up with Scripture.
The world speaks death. They say I was tickled
to death. That scared me to death. We must not speak death upon
ourselves.
John 6(NKJV)
63 It
is the Spirit who gives life...
The Holy Spirit speaks life giving words.
You are a spirit that lives in a body.
When you ask Jesus to come in, His Holy Spirit comes
to live within you, too.
Romans 8 (NKJV)
16 The
Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
The Holy Spirit communicates with our born again human
spirit with life giving words saying that we are God's offspring.
In learning how to be lead by the Holy Spirit, look
for a witness of peace inside of you.
Colossians 3:15 (NKJV)
15 And
let the peace of God rule in your hearts...
Matthew 7:7 (NKJV)
7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and
you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
If you've invited the Holy Spirit in, somebody besides
you is within you.
I'm not talking about hearing audible voices.
Romans 8 (NKJV)
There is therefore
now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk
according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
Your flesh is in contact with the physical
world.
What you hear, taste, touch, smell, and
see.
The Holy Spirit is in contact with your born again
human spirit.
2 For the
law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the
law of sin and death.
3 For what
the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh,
God did by sending His own Son in the
likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh,
4 that
the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us
who do not walk according to the flesh but
according to the Spirit.
5 For those
who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the
flesh,
but those who live according to the
Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
We are not body and minds. Our minds can contact
the body on the outside, or the Holy Spirit on the inside.
We can focus our minds on the body and follow the
flesh.
We can focus on the Holy Spirit and follow
Him.
We need to be more God inside minded and follow the
Holy Spirit within us.
Romans 8:6 (NKJV)
6 For to
be carnally minded is death, but to be
spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal
mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law
of God, nor indeed can be.
8 So
then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
Pleasing God requires walking in the Spirit, and
walking in faith. Walking in the flesh does not require faith.
Hebrews 11 (NKJV)
6 But without
faith it is impossible to please Him, for
he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a
rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
Walking in the flesh is walking by sight.
2 Corinthians 5 (NKJV)
7 For we
walk by faith, not by sight.
Romans 8 (NKJV)
9 But you
are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the
Spirit of God dwells in you.
Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he
is not His.
Galatians 5 (NKJV)
16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you
shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
Romans 8:10 (NKJV)
10 And
if Christ is in you, the body is dead because
of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
Our bodies are in the process of dying.
11 But if
the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you,
He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life
to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
12 Therefore,
brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.
13 For if
you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put
to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
14 For as
many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons (children) of God.
15 For you
did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear,
but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom
we cry out, “Abba, Father.”
16 The
Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
We've got to wait for the Holy Spirit's direction and
not get impatient.
We need it.
It's there.
We've got to wait for God's peace.
Look for the witness of the Holy Spirit.
Wait for the witness.
There is so much that we don't know, but the Holy
Spirit does.
Don't settle, or move to quick.
Wait on the witness.
Don't focus on the price.
You'll never know enough to make perfect decisions.
Who knows the future?
The Holy Spirit does.
We get there by faith and by following the Holy
Spirit.
The flesh by nature is impatient.
Keep seeking.
Keep looking.
Keep listening for the Holy Spirit's witness.
Matthew 7(NKJV)
7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and
you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
Obey Him who is within you, and exercise
patience.
Don't quit until you find it.
James 1:4 (NKJV)
4 But
let patience have its perfect work, that you may
be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
