It’s just so beautiful how Abba brings His Words to us and gently leading us into it.
This morning I decided to pick up one of Smith Wigglesworth book(Greater Works) to read, wanting to find out somethings on healing…unknowingly the first page that I flip to was the verse 1 Cor 10:31 He gave me on Sunday. It was also e verse he led me to search deeper into it in my last journal. I’m sure this is not by chance, because everything happens in His divine plan. If it was by chance, the probability of me searching for it the next time would be 1/576 pages without me first looking at the page.Hee.Wouldn’t it be much faster to allow Him to lead us than to find it ourselves? =) So be it in your career and studies. But dun take this as a formula as to how God speaks and start trying em out like buying toto.But remember, at times you have to be the one to initiate it...you see He didnt just drop the book at me. I look for it and He directed me. Follow the inner leading in you in your daily work. You’ll be surprised by His many surprises for you =)He’s more willing to speak to you than your ability to hear.
Continuation from last journal…
The text below tells us how we could live to glorify God with our body by Smith Wigglesworth.Enjoy!
Energized by the Spirit
So there is a necessity from every one of us to be filled with God.It is not sufficient to have just a touch or to be filled with just a desire. Only one thing will meet the needs of the people, and that is for you to immerse in the life of God. This means that God takes you and fills you with His Spirit until you live right in God. He does this so that”whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do,[it may be] all to the glory og God” (1Cor 10:31). In that place you will find that all your strength and all your mind and all your soul are filled with a zeal, not only for worship, but also for proclamation. This proclamation is accompanied by all the power of God, which must move satanic power and disturb the world.
The reason the world is not seeing Jesus is that Christian people are not filled with Jesus. They are satisfied with attending meetings weekly, reading the Bible occasionally, and praying sometimes.
Beloved, if God lays hold of you by the Spirit, you will find that there is an end of everything and a beginning of God. Your whole body will become seasoned with a divine likeness. Not only will He have begun to use you, but He will have taken you in hand, so that you might be “a vessel for honor”(2 Tim 2:21). Our lives are not to be ourselves, for if we live for ourselves we will die(Rom 8:13) but if “by the Spirit [we] put to death the deeds of the body, [we] will live”(v13). He who lives in the Spirit is subject to the powers of God, but he who lives by himself will die. The man who lives in the Spirit lives a life of freedom and joy and blessing and service-a life that brings blessings to others. God would have us see that we muct live in the Spirit.
Grace be with you, God's beloved!
