Hello again!!! Sorry for the delay in the post. The most recent discussion was regarding the love we have for possessions over the love we have for God. We all know that we must "first seek the kingdom of Heaven and His righteousness and all things will be added unto you"(Matthew 6:33). So basically living right is the key. We further went on to discuss why it is so hard for us to live right and to do the right things. Today we are going to note steps that we can take in order to get closer to God and follow righteousness:
Step 1-Pray without ceasing. You have to continually communicate with God. Even if it is just your personal thoughts during the day or praise and worship at night. The more you speak to God the more you will hear from Him. You will become strengthened in His Word and you will become more committed and obedient. Your constant communication allows the Holy Spirit to connect to you so things you used to do you won't want to do anymore.
Step 2-Study the Word. the only way you can follow God is to know what He wants from you. The only way you know what He wants is to study it. "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God,"(Romans 10:17). So the more you study, the more knowledge you will gain on what direction God wants you to go in.
Step 3-Admit when you are wrong. Confession brings you closer to God. It means you are being accountable and acknowledging what you are wrong about so that God can help you. This action will allow you to stay away from strongholds that will keep you farther and farther from God.
Step 4- Be obedient. Do what the Word says and you will just feel better.
Step 5- Share your walk with someone else. When you have to be accountable to others it helps you stay on a straighter path. You want to be a good example to people and the best spiritual leaders are those that follow what they preach! Have a blessed weekend and holiday and stay tuned to next week topic. And remember "Knowing the truth about everything really does matter!!"
