COMING INTO ALIGNMENT

[FAITH]

 Jeremiah 29:11-14  "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord.  thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.  Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.  And you will seek Me and find Me,  when you search for Me with all your heart."

John 10:27 "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me."

          It is important to know where we are called to be, who we are called to be with, and what we are called to do (our DESTINY) and how we are to implement the things that God is calling us to.  We can fast, pray, strive and do all kinds of spiritual works, but if we are out of alignment, all these things may not have the full impact on our lives that we desire.

         Sometimes we just need to find out what that one thing is that God is requiring of us (God’s purpose for our life). It is usually one thing, not many.

         God will bring us into a place of utter contentment in His Presence as we come close to the Comforter, Holy Spirit.  This implies a life-style of "Walking In The Spirit";

 

THREE REQUIREMENTS TO WALKING IN THE SPIRIT:

 

Romans 6:11 -  "Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus." 

(1.  Consider myself dead to sin.)

Ephesians 4:23-24  -  "And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness." 

 

(2.  I have to "PUT ON" walking in the Spirit.) ie. I make the decision each day to be led by my spirit rather than my soul (mind, will, and emotions). 

 

I walk with my spirit being led by the Holy Spirit.

Romans 12:2  -  "And do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect."

 

 (3.  I have to renew my mind to the word of God.)

BREAKING THROUGH TO THE NEXT LEVEL

  2 Peter 1:4 "By which we have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust."

 

          We are called to be sons and daughters of God.  You are to come to understand your Christ identity so you will be effective in your Christ calling (Ephesians 4:1).  As you grow you learn to move forward in your Christ calling and walk in the leading of His Spirit as mature sons (daughters) of God you begin to learn how to bear fruit that remains (John 15:16) for His Kingdom. This has a lot to do with discipling (Matthew 28:19) others with their spiritual development. You are now living your life from Heaven – seated with Christ in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6).
