God's Words of Wisdom

"Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 12 June 2012"

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 means "be continually filled," meaning that the fullness 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 Christians are indwelt by the Holy Spirit at salvation, they do not get more of the Holy Spirit, but the filling of the Spirit establishes our relationship with God through the confessions of our 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 us directions in our lives.  When we keep God as the focus of our lives, we shine brightly with His Light.

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 our God with Gladness. Love God More Today. Pray for our Brothers and Sisters in Christ who are being persecuted for their Faith and Trust in Jesus. Pray for Youcef Nardarkhani the Iranian Pastor who has been sentenced to death for his refusal to denounce Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and also for his lawyer who has been sentenced to 9 years in prison for his defending him in the Iranian Court. Pray for God's Peace on the city of Jerusalem and His Blessings on the Nation of Israel.  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."

"Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits." Psalm 103:2

Jesus Reigns!!!  May God's Love, Peace, Strength, and Grace be with you all.

Your Sister in Christ,
Cindi
