We will fast not because the pastor asks, but because we want to put our flesh under submission to His Spirit. Reading the Bible won't be a chore because we want to find out what He has to say to us. Our love for Jesus will make those blurry areas of our lives crystal clear because our attention will be focused on pleasing Him. We won't listen to secular music because of the ungodly lyrics that we d have to swim through just to find a good song. We'll stay clear of movies or books that could incite the lusts of our carnal minds, because we want to please Him.
Many people say that Apostolics are legalistic.
What they don't realize is that we know that just following rules and regulations won t get us to heaven, but it's because we love the Lord and want to do what is pleasing to Him that we set up guidelines. We don't want to do things that cater to our flesh. We do want to cater to the Spirit with which God has so graciously filled us. Ultimately it will be our faith and love in Christ Jesus that will save us. If God is not included in every aspect of our lives, then He is not the most important item in our lives.
