Checking into His Presence... "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another." Galatian 5:22-26 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world – the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions is not from the Father, but it is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever "1 John 2:15-17. If we, therefore, seek to find any identity in Christ, we have to walk with the Spirit that is very close to the one described in the Bible about our Lord Jesus Christ. Without the attitude to provoke one another, it must also not nurture any desire for any vainglory.  As well, all Children of God must be able to eschew envy, malice, pride, blasphemy, selfishness, tale-bearing and extreme hatred in all forms. Against such anomalies, all Children of God will face judgment when their lives are all over concerning how they have conducted their lives.  Therefore what passion are you nurturing? Can it be such that divides? Do you use your position to exploit the vulnerable so your light can shine even brighter? And do you honestly think that the next world will reflect your behaviour, where the wicked receive compensation and the innocence condemned? Are you in a position to justify your actions and or defend your conduct when faced with the same mysteries you have championed whilst in this world? What sort of songs will be from those you are likely to leave behind? Our Father in heaven, it is not untrue that we claim to live in accordance to Your Spirit: we beseech Thee to let us walk in the Spirit and do let the pronouncements You made in the life of David to come upon us. Do not take away your loving kindness but grant that You do not break Your covenant and alter the good things that have gone out of Your mouth concerning us. Father, You will also not allow Your faithfulness to fail upon us in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking into His Presence...
