So let me share this illumination. God is Love. If I say I love God
and
hate my brother I am a liar. For many years I quietly wondered
to myself
how do I know when The Spirit is leading me. If I do not
feel lead, how
do I really know that I am not talking myself into being Spirit
filled?
To make matters worse there were times when I was sure God was leading
me
to expose the truth or take a righteous stand. Well, it felt
good;
looking back to my shame it was pride and the sin of self-righteousness.
I
was sure I was being lead and God was really showing me something.
I now believe Gods Spirit is love, and when we are lead by the
Spirit we
love. In fact the power of love is the greatest power of all.
The Spirit
only leads us to up build and unify us in love. This is the desire
to love
and has compassion that burns in us. This passion is from Christ's
Heart
with in us. I will abide in you, He said. He will guide us into
all the
truth. The truth is God is love. We love because
he loves us first. He
who loves is free from the law, for what law is there against
Love. Let
us let the love of God rule our hearts. For God so Loved He Gave.
Jesus
laid his life down for because of love. Paul told us follow love.
To the world this is foolishness. The self- righteous this is
too easy.
When we love we are in the Spirit and one with Him. Because of
love we
will keep the perfect law of love. No one knows the mined of
God except
the Spirit and he has made His Heart and Mined alive in our hearts.
God's
way is not our way Hallelujah!!! Now I am sure this is how I will know
the
Spirit God and the Spirit of error. The Spirit will lead always
to take
comfort in God. Closes my eyes meditate on His Beauty and Perfect
kindness
and his Desire for me. The spirit of error tempts me to take
confidence in
any thing but the cross of Christ alone. Any other confidence
is not of
God. Christ is the Perfect one alone. When he makes us clean
no can make
can make us unclean not even me. If I sin: I advocate with
the Father.
If my heart condemns me he is greater than my heart. When my
heart was
hard and not tender to God, when I felt I had no Godly feeling
or
willingness to repent, he did not forsake me. 26 years
and HE never
failed me nor forsaken me. He has given a great life a beautiful
wife and
2 beautiful children. Praise God he is Good. If you have no Godly
feeling
and would like to have, then take confidence He will embrace and hold
you
and heal you. Take confidence; he is calling you. You see;
you can not
desire Him, unless you are His. So go to Him and let His peace
the peace
that passes all understanding rule in you heart. Jesus is Greek
for
Savior. Devil is Greek for Separator.
God bless Vince
