The Spirit of God is moving today!

The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit. John 3:8 NKJV
 
Jesus told a man named Nicodemus, “Most assuredly, I say to you unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
 
Nicodemus was a Pharisee and ruler of the Jews but could not understand what Jesus said. Jesus continued, “That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, you must be born again.”
 
I am amazed by things God does but stopped being surprised a long time ago. I live on my tiptoes looking for amazing things only God can do. I am still surprised by some of the things I see taking place in the world!
 
We do many things by faith. We eat food without knowing where it came from or what is in it. We drive down the road in cars and through the sky in airplanes at incredible speeds. We hand over our money to banks expecting it to be available when needed. 
 
Most people refuse to trust God. Eve saw that the forbidden fruit was good to make one wise. She disobeyed God. She trusted Satan. We have been leaning on our own understanding since!
 
The unsaved people of this world are just as baffled by how we live and the things we do as we are by their beliefs and behaviors. The flesh simply cannot comprehend the spiritual life.
 
How can we really understand the trinity? Who can fathom the height and depth and width of God’s love? “Who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ!
 
We believe much of what God says by faith. We have stopped leaning on our own understanding. We no longer trust in our own strength and resources. We have given up trying to do things our own way, why?
 
The Spirit of God is with us. We don’t see Him but we see the work He is doing in us and through us. We can’t hear His voice but He fills our hearts and minds with God’s Word. We can’t see where He is going but He leads us and guides us on our journey of faith!
 
You do not have to be a Pastor Priest or Theologian to understand Jesus. If you feed your flesh with selfish desires they will control you. If you fill your mind with the Word of God He will instruct you. You can live a life of Godliness peace and contentment through faith in Jesus Christ!
 
Jesus searches hearts and minds to give every man according to his ways. Seek Jesus. Learn to walk in His ways and you will be blessed!
 
Sow to the Spirit and you will soar with eagles. Lay down with dogs and you will get fleas!

    ​Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!
     
    Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very hour. Acts 16:16-18 NKJV
     
    The slave girl was speaking the truth. She was possessed by an evil spirit. The evil spirit was drawing people away from Christ! 
     
    This attack came as God’s servants went to prayer. The enemy of our souls attacks when we step out in faith. Satan seeks to distract us. He wants us to focus our attention on things other than Jesus.
     
    The devil perverts the truth. He uses it against us. No one can serve two masters. This girl was speaking the truth about Paul and his companions while practicing witchcraft. When people claim to speak for God we must consider how they live.
     
    The girl followed the disciples for several days before they cast the demon out of her. It is important for us to wait on the Lord before stepping out in faith. The bible tells us Paul was greatly annoyed by this girl. Paul was not fearful. The Lord was with Him! 
     
    Paul and Silas were put in jail. The owners of the slave girl were angry at the loss of income when the demon was cast out of her. While Paul and Silas were in jail they shared the gospel with the jailer. His entire household was saved. 
     
    God uses Satan’s attacks for His glory and our salvation!
                       
    Satan is a real being. He takes people captive to do his will. There really are demons who seek to destroy God’s people and bring destruction to our world.
     
    We have nothing to fear from the devil or his demons when we live according to God’s will. We have nothing to fear from anyone or anything when we step out in faith to serve Jesus! 
     
    Jesus wants us to fear Him and Him alone. He wants us to know His power and authority are unequaled in all of creation.
     
    God wants you share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the people in your life. Jesus wants you to walk in great boldness because He is with you everywhere you go!
     
    Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!
