Sold Out for Righteousness

I chose to memorize a verse of scripture that would coincide with the other exercise of removing the barrier that keeps God outside.   The scripture I chose was Proverbs 3:5,6(NIV).  The one thing I believe would keep God outside would be the lean not on your own understanding,  in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight.  Well sometimes, how about most of the time my own understanding will override and take me on a crooked path rather the straight one he intends me to be on.  It is amazing how I can trust in Him when I most need Him.  I should trust in Him in every decision regardless the importance of it.   This is definitely something that will be broke down.  I desire to give God all of me, well that will include my decisions, all the way to my knees until God speaks to me through His word.  To be totally Sold out for Righteousness requires a unwavering trust in The Maker of Heaven and Earth.  To be led by the Holy Spirit.  “O’  Father forgive me for making hastily decisions that you would not approve of , instead of waiting and trusting on you for your counsel. In Jesus name Amen.”

I chose to read with the Holy Spirit and it was astounding and a wonderful experience that I will continue to do.  The scripture that stood that the Holy Spirit Highlighted was( Joshua 1:9nkjv).  Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage, do not be afraid, nor dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.  I go out witnessing and sometimes the enemy will bombard me with fear and excuses not to witness or go out.  But what stood out was the LORD your God is with you wherever you go. Now that is encouraging and very uplifting. There is nothing to worry about I have the creator with me AWESOME!

I have  good relationship with my supervisor and Me and a couple other brothers in Christ have been there longer than him and everyone else.  He is not saved yet, but God’s love is unstoppable.  He likes to pick on the last person hired giving him a hard time, like he has forgotten how he was when he started.  I guess this was a group effort on Me and the other brothers we told him to be easy on him and stopping saying those negative things about him, reminding him when he first started.  We told him to find something positive to say to him, not to destroy his character. We pray that everything will be taken care of by showing both of them the Love of God.

My first choice was to spend 5 minutes in silence each day. This was something different because I am use to always talking to God but never giving him a chance to respond back  or just feel his presence.  That has to be so rude to him. My experience was a very different one.  To not talk but allow God to minister to my spirit and expect his presence was fascinating knowing that you are not alone.  I will definitely do this more often Praise God!

I was glad to choose this exercise because I thought I knew best but sadly mistaken. I will always pray earnestly for the Holy Spirit to purify my heart and mind, the listening part goes hand and hand with the silence part alone with God.  Jesus always talked about the heart and how wicked it was and how defilement comes from within(Matt 15:10-20).  Also we know out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks(Luke 6:45). I know that purification is a process that through faith and trust in Jesus the Holy spirit will do it with earnest prayer and His word. Let the operation begin(Eze 36:26) Praise the Lord!!!

In my spiritual wheel, I feel that I am doing good in these areas: Contemplative, Evangelical, Incarnational. The reason I feel I am doing good in these areas is first I always spend time meditation and in prayer, I have been blessed to have lots of time at work and home so I pray all the time and meditate on his word.  Secondly, evangelizing is what I do.  From Handing out tracts to one on one witnessing I want to start doing some open air preaching.   Again I have been blessed to have lots of time to read the Word of God, study it and memorize 58 scriptures and counting.  I love reading. I will read the word to feed my spirit first before I eat and feed my natural self. So what I do at home I do at work I have some spiritual brothers at work and we do our best to let our light shine.  Holiness is what I am definitely getting a hand on this is something I am getting better at and really owe it to my devotion of reading the word and prayer.  I really struggled in this area at one time when I could not read my word.  Charismatic would be something I really have not figured out but need to know so I can be beneficial in the Body of Christ.   I do exercise in faith, and speak tongues and maybe discernment.  But I really need to know for sure.  I am starting to get involved in social justice as far as helping those less fortunate.  But I have compassion for the lost that is why I am heavy  on evangelism.  So my wheel is definitely becoming the wheel it needs to be with some touches by the Almighty God.
