Wednesday Word

Good morning, 
Today is Wednesday word, I just want to share with you some of what God dropped into my spirit for bible class last night.

Acts 19:1-7The Message (MSG)
Now, it happened that while Apollos was away in Corinth, Paul made his way down through the mountains, came to Ephesus, and happened on some disciples there. The first thing he said was, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed? Did you take God into your mind only, or did you also embrace him with your heart? Did he get inside you?” “We’ve never even heard of that—a Holy Spirit? God within us?”“How were you baptized, then?” asked Paul. “In John’s baptism.” “That explains it,” said Paul. “John preached a baptism of radical life-change so that people would be ready to receive the One coming after him, who turned out to be Jesus. If you’ve been baptized in John’s baptism, you’re ready now for the real thing, for Jesus.” And they were. As soon as they heard of it, they were baptized in the name of the Master Jesus. Paul put his hands on their heads and the Holy Spirit entered them. From that moment on, they were praising God in tongues and talking about God’s actions. Altogether there were about twelve people there that day.

The question that is ringing in my ears is have you received?  In the church world it is so easy to go through spiritual exercise and not really have the holy spirit on the inside. We know exactly when to raise our hands and sway in the breeze, but have we received?  Does the the Lord Jesus live on the inside of you or are you just reacting to the outside stimulus around you?

See if we have true gone through the repentance process, which is to be Godly sorry to the point that I turn from the wrong, and move towards a Christ like life then my heart is fertile ground for Jesus to come in. Our society has to many copycat kinds of things to satisfy our tastes but there is no copycat for the holy spirit. You must receive it to have power over the enemy.

The devil, your enemy, roams around this earth with one job. That job is to kill, steal and destroy your life and even if you are not your job, he is on his 24-7. The holy spirit comes so that we have power to resist the devil and make him flee from our presence. Too often we play nice with the devil, but a snake will always be a snake. Chop his head off and move on.

If you haven't seek the Lord and ask him to truly forgive you of anything that would hinder him from come in and then invite the king of kings to be Lord of your life. Yes, you might have done it before , but like all relationships,  it can use a stoking up.

Love you to life and as always remember...to live Blessed
