Are you filled with the spirit?  If not, then why?  See below for a link to know how you can be filled with the spirit, if you are a believer.  If you are not a believer, you need the other link, for becoming a believer.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

Becomming a Follower of Jesus

Our deeds are not because we are so good.  It is an outpouring of our hearts, when we understand how good, God is to us.   His Grace and Mercy should flow out of us, because we have been the benefactors of them. 


“I, the Lord , search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give to each man according to his ways, According to the results of his deeds.
Jeremiah 17:10 NASB

We are secure, when we put our Trust and Faith in Jesus.


Commit your way to the Lord , Trust also in Him, and He will do it.
Psalms 37:5 NASB

https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/psa.37.5/227

Mankind, can never earn their salvation!  It is a futile effort, to do this in our own strength.  The Good News though, is God makes it all possible, through Jesus.  We are forever grateful Lord, for what yoo have given freely to those who will receive. Amen


And looking at them Jesus said to them, “With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Matthew 19:26 NASB

God does not let anyone go, that has put his faith and trust in Jesus Christ!  Both in the highs and lows, of this life, he will continue to perfect us, until we receive our final rewards, and perfect bodies in heaven.  What more security could we ever want?


For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.
Philippians 1:6 NASB

May our light shine today, that we may warn of danger ahead, but point the way to safety, through Jesus, just as a lighthouse is used to save Jesus.  Amen.  Please share your stories of how God used you for this today!


“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 5:14‭-‬16 NASB

Is this not a beautiful picture, of what the church is supposed to be?  Yesterday I said, Love covers a multitude of sins.  Let us show Grace, as Grace has been fully given to us.  May our hearts be forever changed by Jesus.


Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.
Galatians 6:2 NASB

https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/gal.6.2/6026

The sinfull desires remain, but as believers, they are not seen by Christ.  As we walk by faith, in the spirit, we have freedom.  The battle will rage on, until finally, we will receive our glorified bodies after we have left these earthly bodies, when the Lord calls us home.  Daily reminding ourselves of this amazing grave we have received, changes us and helps us walk in the spirit.   Can I get an Amen?


Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Galatians 5:24 NASB

https://bible.com/bible/100/gal.5.24.NASB

Please………you must act! This is not an intellectual exercise. The time is now to follow Jesus, if you have not! All of eternity is at stake, for you. Ask the Lord to open you eyes to his truths.

God talks a lot about idols in the old testament.  He hate them!  Where do we put out trust?  Is it in our money, our looks, our jobs, our children, our spouses?  God says put it in him and we will be blessed.  Can I get an Amen?


“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord And whose trust is the Lord .
Jeremiah 17:7 NASB
