Pastor’s Thoughts:
- When were not saved (spiritually dead), the word of God is dead to us
- But once our spirit is alive (salvation), then the Holy Spirit begins to reveal and lead us into all truth.
- When we combined a desire to be filled with the Holy Spirit and a desire to read God’s word, then the word of God because a powerful weapon for you life.
- A daily walk with God is a must in order to grow in your walk with God
- Every day pray that the Holy Spirit fill you with God’s love and righteousness
- Every day read God’s word (The Holy Bible)
- If you struggle with this daily task, you are in need of a heart transformation. You need to encounter the Love of God.
- That is why it is important to attend church and praise and worship King Jesus because in his presence is where we are transformed.
Conclusion:
- Be passionate about God’s Word and be passionate about allowing the Holy Spirit to lead you into truth.
