God's Words of Wisdom from the Bible for Friday 17 June 2011

"Greetings Everyone in the Name of Our Lord and savior Jesus Christ"

Today's Bible Verse: Ephesians 5:18-21 "And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in fear of God."

The words "be filled" here mean "be continually filled," meaning that the fullness of the Spirit is a repeated experience for the believer.  When a person is drunk with alcoholic beverage, his or her walk, talk and sight are controlled by alcohol.  God desires that the minds of Christians be controlled by the Holy Spirit so that we will walk in the Spirit, speak on behalf of God, and understand the things of God.

Because people are indwelt by the Holy Spirit at salvation, they do not get more of the holy Spirit, but the filling of the spirit occurs when the Holy Spirit gets more of the believer.  As we establish our fellowship with God through confession of sins and yield to Him, we can be filled with the Spirit if that is our desire and prayer.

Every Christian should be filled with the Spirit in order that he or she might have God's power to serve Him.  How important that we drink deep of Him, and let Him give direction to our lives.  When we all keep God as the focus of our lives, we shine brightly with His light.

Today's Hymn: "Grace Greater Than Our Sin"

Marvelous grace of our loving God, Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt
Yonder on Calvary's mount out poured, there where the blood of the lamb was spilled.
Grace, grace, God's grace, Grace that will pardon and cleanse within
Grace, grace, God's grace, Grace that is greater than all our sins

Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit  What a wonderful blessing and experience it is that at the second of our believing in Jesus Christ we are indwelled by the presence of the Holy Spirit who guides us, teaches us and councils us.  It is our prayer Lord that fill our cup to over flowing so that we might shine for you in our daily lives.  Thank You Abba Father for Your Grace"that is greater than all our sins".
                                                                                                                Amen

Today's Biblical Truth: "Christ reveals Himself in the way we live and the way we relate to others"

Have a God filled and Spirit Led Day.  Go in Peace and Serve the Lord with Gladness.  Love God More Today and always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T",  God Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN".
