Three Powerful Self-Tests When Things Are Out Of Order
August 11, 2019
Relationships: Session 7
My Motives: (James 3:16) What am I wanting; why am I thinking, planning, acting like this?
Am I seeking FIRST His life, desires, way of doing things? Or am I staying in the Manager’s seat? Nothing is truly Blessed/Used of God until it is released!
Self-centered motives block our prayer from being answered. (James 4:2, 3)
Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal my motives. Be quick to confess and ask for His perspective. He desires us to receive His motives and walk in His love!
 See Philippians 2:5-8: Humbling myself is pleasing to the Father …. AND leads to exaltation! (1 Peter 5:5, 6)
My Mind: Is it the TRUTH?
The Spirit of Truth …. John 14:16, 17
Word of Truth …. John 8:31, 32
Our mind is the Gate to our spirit which is the spiritual center of our being. (Where the Holy Spirit lives in the believer.) The Holy Spirit bears witness of the TRUTH. Our senses, our brains, process information in our minds. Our emotions and our wills respond. [Which witness is dominant?]
To successfully walk in the Truth, we must cooperate with the Holy Spirit (the Spirit of Truth) who is bearing witness in our inner man of the Truth (which yields Freedom …. John 8:32).
We are the gatekeepers. We decide what information to trust and act on!
Ask the Lord for favor/order. Resolve to stay resolved if necessary.
1 Corinthians 2:16; Romans 8:5
My Mouth:
Designed by God to work in line with the Heart (spirit). (See Romans 10:9, 10)
What is my verbal Filter?
“Let the words of my mouth” (Psalm 19:14)
“Let no corrupt word” (Ephesians 4:29)
What I say makes a huge difference! (Proverbs 18:21; Matthew 12:34-37); Joshua 1:8, 9; Mark 11:22-24)
