‘Never disregard a
conviction that the Holy Spirit brings to you. If it is important enough for
the Spirit of God to bring it to your mind, it is the very thing He is
detecting in you. You were looking for some big thing to give up, while God is
telling you of some tiny thing that must go. But behind that tiny thing lies
the stronghold of obstinacy, and you say, “I will not give up my right to
myself”— the very thing that God intends you to give up if you are to be a
disciple of Jesus Christ.’ CHAMBERS
Do you know when the
Holy Spirit is speaking to you? I think
so. How do you respond? Like the rebellious child .. who wants what
they want and resists correction? Or do you say “Yes Lord!”
“For men will be
lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers,
disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers,
without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty,
lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but
denying its power. And from such people turn away! “ (2 Timothy 3:2-5 NKJV)
This is not a new
problem. Paul spent a good deal of his
time encouraging the new Christians to walk in the Spirit and not after the
flesh. It is in the Bible because it is
a problem. We all struggle with doing
what we know is right. It is a decision for
us to obey every day. Make this your
prayer …..
“Prone to wander, Lord
I feel it. Prone to leave the One I
love. Here is my heart, take and
seal it. Seal it for Thy courts above.”
