Live By The Spirit

"If you live by the Spirit, you'll not fulfill the lusts of the flesh."

(Galatians 5:16)

Did you know that you make over 2500 choices every day?  The quality of your life is determined by the quality of your decisions.  Because of that, choosing to live according to the Spirit is the most important decision you can make.  One way God speaks to you is through your spirit, that small "voice" inside that prompts you when you should or shouldn't do something.  When you choose to obey God's leading, that "inner prompting," you will always make the right choice!  We've all missed the mark at times in our life, but if we will "think and listen" before we day or do anything, God will lead us.

1 John 3:21 says that a guilty conscience hinders communication with our Heavenly Father.  That's why it is so important to stay true to your conscience and quickly repent if you've made a mistake.

Don't let others, even those that say they love you, pressure or attempt to pressure you to bend you to their will.  Yes, even our loved ones that are not following the promptings of God will try to bend us to their will.  Don't give in.  Stand your ground.  God is not in it when someone is withholding something or make threats to bend you to what they want.  Remember, God gives us a "choice", a "will", to make our own decisions and absolutely no one has the right to try to force you to do anything....they do not have that God given right and if they try, God is not in it.  They are following their own wants and desires and trying to get you to go with them....also known as "manipulation and control", which is a form of witchcraft.

Remember, Jeremiah 29:11 promises that God has great plans in store for you and when you choose to follow His leading, He will guide you on a path of victory in every area of your life!  You are born to win!

Prayer:  Precious Father, thank You for Your promise to lead and guide me by Your Spirit.  I ask You to teach me to clearly know Your promptings in my heart so that I can follow Your leading.  Thank You for setting me free to walk in victory today.
