"If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin." (1 John 1:6-7)

Placing God's Word in Our Heart
We can only gain Spiritual life in God's spiritual seed -- His Word. When we place His word in our heart and we let the heart receive it (understand), then spiritual life will develop; unless we allow Satan to take the seed out of our heart. Christians need to ensure that we are sowing the seed of the kingdom in our heart which will cause us to live our lives pleasing to Jesus. It is so unfortunate that far too many Christians are not allowing the seed of God to penetrate their heart so that they become motivated to make sure that everything they do is pleasing to Him. Jesus understands that we will be tempted from time to time. God’s Word says, "For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin" (Hebrews 4:15). When we are tempted, we have a choice to either refrain from sin or to succumb to it. The more we read and meditate on His Word, then the better equipped we will be to make the right decisions. Allow Jesus to be at the very center of all of our thoughts. When we do, then we will wisely make the right choices during the course of the day.

I really enjoy these Blogs. Keep standing for the Lord.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ellen. It is my hope and prayer that Christians will just remember who we are and that we understand that we are to separate ourselves from worldliness. "Stand Up, Stand Up, for Jesus!"
