What Is The Guiding Force Of The Light Of Your Life Leading Others To Do?

Do you truly understand the power of spirits?   Do you know what it means to be in spiritual warfare?   Do you know that we are in a war and that war is not against flesh and blood?    Do you understand that we have the power to strengthen the power of God in the earth and we also have the power to strengthen the power of the enemy in the earth?   It's all in who and what we support and serve.    

What spirit are you serving and supporting today?   Is it God or is it the spirit of the world?   Are you promoting God and holiness or are you promoting the devil, fear, and evil?    When people see you today, are they going to see the power of God resting upon you and will they hear the power of His Word flowing from you or are they going to see you looking like the world and doing what the world is doing?    Will you be promoting God and holiness or will you be promoting fear and the evil tendencies of the world?   You can either be God's billboard in the world or you can be the devils.   Remember, you are a living epistle.   In other words, your life is an open book that others are reading.  They are getting guidance and direction from the actions of your life.  What story is your life telling? 

Is your life saying that it's okay to do what the world is doing or is it saying to others to be strong in the Lord and the power of His might?   Is it saying stand out from among the crowd and go full speed ahead with God?   Is it saying don't do that and don't participate in that because it is not of God?  What direction are people inclined to go if they are following you?   Will you lead them to God or will you lead them into a ditch?    The thing about a ditch is that it is sometimes hard to get out of it.   You can get out of it but sometimes it is hard to pull yourself out of a ditch.  So don't be the guiding force that leads others into positions that it is hard for them to get out of.   Be the helper.   Be the one who is helping to strengthen others so that they can pull themselves up and out of the ditches that life has pushed them into.  

  

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION 

Ephesians 6:12

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” 

Taking A Moment and Looking At What It Truly Means To Be Rooted and Grounded In God, His Word, and Love. (Remember, He and His Word Are One and He Is Love)

What is it that is pulling at your heartstrings today?  Ask yourself is it from God and is it of God.    There are so many situations that we encounter in life that pull and tug on us but we have to make sure that the things that are motivating and moving us in life are from and of God.   We can easily be pulled in the wrong direction if we are not rooted and grounded in what we say we believe.   

Understand, not only does God's Word need to planted in our hearts, we need to be planted in God's Word.    We need to be rooted and grounded in the Word and the Word needs to be rooted and grounded in us.    When something is rooted, it is firmly planted and has taken root.   It is fixed in one position and unable to move.    

There are several definitions for the word grounded that relate to our walk of faith.   One means to be mentally and emotionally stable.   Another means to be restricted and confined to home.   Being restricted to the things of God and being confined to operating like God wants you to operate is what "holiness" is all about.   So being grounded to and with God is not a punishment it is actually a privilege.    Another definition of grounded deals with electrical grounding.   When an appliance is grounded, it gives a backup pathway that gives an alternative way for the current to flow back to the ground if there is fault in the wiring.    So if you are grounded in God, there is always a backup pathway to get you back to God if something goes wrong.   That backup pathway is called repentance and forgiveness.   

The Bible talks about us being "rooted and grounded" in love.   Remember, God is love!  So we must be rooted and grounded in Him.

Ephesians 3:17

Let's Be Intentional About Trusting, Seeking, and Waiting On God

Are you trusting God to do it?   Whatever it is that you have need of in your life right now, ARE YOU TRUSTING GOD TO DO IT?   Are you trusting Him to bring His promises to pass in your life?    Are you trusting Him to meet the need you have right now in your life?   ARE YOU TRUSTING HIM? 

We say we trust Him.   We say we are willing to wait on Him BUT THE QUESTION IS ... are you truly trusting Him?    Is there any doubt in your mind that God can and will do what He said He would do?   If there is, learn how to cast down every thought that rises up against the knowledge of God.   Any thought that is coming against what God has said that He can and will do needs to be cast down.   You have to remember you are in control.   Don't allow your thoughts to get out of control to the point that they become wayward.    The word wayward means difficult or impossible to manage.   It means when something goes in a way it is not intended or desired.    Keep control of your thoughts.   Manage what you meditate on and think about.  You can do that.   You have the power of God working on the inside of you and you can control your thoughts.   

Today is a new day and today is a good day to TRUST GOD.   This is the day that God has made so let's intentionally be glad and rejoice in it.    Let's intentionally put our trust in Him.   Let's intentionally seek Him with our whole heart.   Let's intentionally wait on Him.     

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION 

Philippians 4:6

 

Amplified Bible

 

6 Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. 7 And the peace of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which transcends all understanding, [that peace which] stands guard over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours].
