RELY ON GOD'S ABUNDANCE & LIFE JUNE 4-8

By Bible Reading Plan | June 4th, 2018 |

God took Elijah to a season of total dependence where he couldn’t depend on anything at all but God, and God alone. God sent him to a brook, and then dried up the brook so that he would leave where he was to go to where God ultimately wanted him, so once again, He could perform a miracle and raise the dead back to life. God used the horrible things to shape him into a true man of God

The Holy Spirit is referred to as our Advocate or Helper. There are many examples in Scripture of how He convicts, warns, teaches, guides, leads and prays for us all with the desire to protect us. The Holy Spirit strengthens you to handle whatever situations come your way and protects you from being led astray from Jesus’ teachings.

The Holy Spirit helps us to live out the character of Jesus, loving each other with patience, kindness, endurance, encouragement and sacrifice. We are unable to manufacture unconditional love without the Spirit controlling all areas of our mind, will and emotions

Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit would come and empower the disciples to do the things He commissioned them to do. On Pentecost, the Holy Spirit did indeed come and anoint the disciples with power in a very visible and experiential way. This power not only transformed them, but allowed them to impact the world in ways they couldn’t have imagined. That same power is available to followers of Christ today

When Christians live in sin and are out of fellowship with God, we experience alienation and guilt. However, some of us may be plagued by false guilt--a self-condemning, self-punishing response to things for which we are not and never have been truly guilty. Regardless of how you feel about yourself and how you think others feel about you, you are loved by God.

We find in the Bible that people not only lamented about themselves and their enemies, they also lamented about God. Even though our God is King of Kings, He allows His people to express their honest questions, feelings and thoughts, and their doubts and disappointments, even though these may contradict what He tells them and wants them to know. The more open we are with a person about what we truly feel and think, the more vulnerable we become. And, this gives us more opportunity to be closer to the person with whom we are opening up. God wants covenant partners who are able to express what they feel and think.
