Do You LOVE God? Shaken Awake
-
- Cristianismo
The spirit behind today’s podcast, which I feel led to speak on today is, Do you really LOVE God, or the thought of Him? Where, who, and what is your heart most consciously devoted to, daily? Is it God, or is it YOUR life and the things and people in it? Don’t worry, I’m not asking to shame you or place guilt or cast stones – I’ve asked myself this question repeatedly. I’m an introvert – I do this often. It’s not an exercise in living my best life – it’s an important tool to assess whether we are running the race set before us, loving God with every fiber of our being, day in and day out, and loving those around us – everything else is of this world, not of the eternal Kingdom. It’s not holding fast to a holier than thou, free-will belief system, regimented works-based living arrangement. This is part of living your life for God and not for you, for the moment you and your sins died with Christ on that tree, you were resurrected (born again) in a new life and given the fit of the Holy Spirit. You, at that very moment, belonged to Christ – Christ in you….no longer the god of this world / flesh in you. The flesh will always be at war with God, but the Spirit will always be aligned with God and will help establish your steps. You’re either a child of God or a child of satan – the Bible tells us that. So, do you LOVE God?
