Spirit Fueled

Good morning, Lord

Father in Heaven, I seek You first-the knowledge of Your kingdom and Your righteousness. Fill my consciousness constantly and complete Your joy in me as I take up my cross and follow...In Jesus' name…

Memory verse: Psalm 27:13-14 (NIV)

“I remain confident of this, I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.”

Verse of the day-Deuteronomy 6:4-5

4 “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.”

Today’s reading: Exodus 27-28 Matthew 21:1-22

Reality Check?

Psalm 73:25-26

“Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You. My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

"There is none upon earth that I desire besides You."

In your heart, Is this true or false? Do you, we, desire God above all else?

If this is true, our dreams and desires are all fueled by the Holy Spirit-not by ego.

2 Corinthians 5:15 New King James Version (NKJV)

15 and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.

Do you desire the Lord more than anything?

Deuteronomy 6:4-5 New King James Version

“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.

Love and desire for God-this is on a different plane from earthly love and desire but these are what God desires for our hearts. How do we get from where we are to completely loving God? How do we completely desire God with all our energy?

Yes, it is possible. With man it is impossible but with God all things are possible.(Mark 10:27) It is possible. So-how?

Living in Christ makes it possible. Seeking the kingdom Makes it possible. Only God makes it possible. Only God makes it happen.

Time and more time-effort and more effort-More and more of Christ Jesus-

How much of our daily lives are we giving to the kingdom of God?

What changes need to be made in your(my) life? What changes must be made? What changes are we really willing to make for the one who died for us?

What if I don’t want to make a change that God’s righteousness demands? It is the nature of sinful man to rebel. So how do I make myself ‘want’ to make change?

You cannot. This is, I believe, is where God will work miraculously.

The flesh says no.

 We submit and God plants His will-His desire-in us. The Holy Spirit-God in us-changes our desire to agree with Him.

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.” (Matthew 6:33)

Ask God-ask God for the blessings-the blessing of hunger and thirst-for Him-above all else.

...because He loves us, He will do it…

Father in Heaven,

Give me desire to lift up Your name above all else. I want desire for Heavenly obedience in my mind. Give me today what You know I need. Forgive me for being so lazy. Lead me away from carnal wickedness.

Father of all-Father of me.

In the name of Christ Jesus,

Amen
