Conform To The Spirit
I wrote this as a note to myself a long time ago and thought I’d share it here on the blog. I hope someone finds it beneficial and edifying.
Let people look at you and admire the qualities you have that are a direct result of having Christ in you. Conform to the Spirit! Let it control your life. You belong to God and you are His child. Represent Him everyday because you carry His last name when you are called “Christian.” Represent your family that has adopted you and canceled all of your debts. The Father sent His only son to die for you. Be thankful and live according to God’s will.
If you truly desire to be conformed to the Spirit, you must come before God broken, with a contrite spirit. God cannot build us up in His family when we have already used our own earthly desires to build an ideal world for ourselves. Pray for God to break you. Who are you to be proud in front of an Almighty God. Humble yourself before the Father and cry out “You are King! I will place no other God before you including myself.”
As God builds us up, we must continue to seek Him. What we put in our heart will become who we are. Learn truth, wisdom and love and you will become these very things. Walking the path of faith is your mission on earth. Become supernatural as you are called to be and reap the benefits God is waiting to give.
Your note to self long ago was a good note for me today, thanks. Carrying His last name is truly a concept to remember.
A friend of mine refers to this concept as “carrying the water” – meaning that we step in and do what Jesus would do if he were still walking on earth. Thanks for a reminder today.
wow. this was soo amazing. thank u soo much. may God bless you for such a wonderful post. this was definetely a breath of fresh air for me
Brokeness is a concept that is no longer talked about much in today’s churches but is highly valued by Jesus. I am reminded of Mary’s alabaster jar of perfume. Great post! Thanks for getting the word out!
This is a great post. Thanks for sharing. Humbling ourselves is very important for it all to work out.
Just found you blog post, and it is encouraging. Humility is the key. We need to be broken so that He can re-make us!
Written from the heart. Love it!!
Being humbled and broken has been losing ground in the current generation of churches. Good word to bring us back to the fundamentals of living in Christ. Check out my recent blog on us being spoiled in the church. mystrengthmyrefuge.com
