We must learn to hear the voice of, and be led by, the Holy Spirit. It is imperative that we determine whether we want to live by God s kingdom principles or the sense knowledge principles of the world. The one will bring victory and the kind of life that Jesus wants us to have and the other will bring, for the most part, disappointment. One of the first things we must do is develop our self-image. Also, we must take charge of the words that we speak.
Words have the power to kill or to sustain life.
By determining to be a sower of the word of God we can be a real blessing to all that we come in contact with. By allowing the Holy Spirit to demonstrate God s love and mercy through us we put ourselves in the position that John Baptist wanted He must increase, I must decrease. Purpose to become so small that everything that gets accomplished is a result of the Holy Spirit doing it through you. As I was reading Born After Midnight by A.W. Tozer, I was touched. He describes the condition of the church so clearly that I wanted to share it.
