Do you remember ‘THE SPIRIT SONG?
Oh let the Son of GOD enfold you, with the SPIRIT of HIS love
Let HIM fill your heart and satisfy your soul.
Oh let HIM have the things that hold you, and HIS SPIRIT like a dove
Will descend upon your life and make you whole.
JESUS, o JESUS, come and fill YOUR lambs, JESUS, o JESUS, come and fill YOUR lambs
This was so good had to share- Quin Friberg’s messeage 11/14/20
Ephesians 4:1 Walk (live) in a manner that is worthy your calling (to be like JESUS-Romans 8:29)
Ephesians 4:17-20 don’t be like the unbeliever
Ephesians 4:17 in the futility of their thinking (vanity of their minds) who think there is no ultimate purpose or reason for their lives or for anything for that matter
Ephesians 4:18, 2 Peter 3:5, Romans 1:21 who are willingly ignorant (choosing to ignore and turn from truth) By refusing to glorify and thank GOD their foolish hearts and understanding darkened and have become blind/ alienated from the life of GOD. They do not want the truth so ignore it.
Ephesians 4:19 so have given themselves over to sensuality, heart is desensitized/callous (calcified becoming harder and harder. Like Romans 1:18-31 it’s a spiral downward to unbridled lust of greedy indulging themselves for pleasure not caring if it hurts another
But:
Ephesians 4:20-21 That is not how you learned of CHRIST, you have heard and believed the truth and have been taught by JESUS for the truth is in JESUS.
Ephesians 4:22 put off your old self, corrupt according to deceitful lusts by changing directions to follow CHRIST. As in the game follow the leader, you do what you see the leader do. So do what you see JESUS do.
Ephesians 4:23, Romans 12:2 Be renewed in the spirit of your minds by filling you mind with the Word of GOD.
Ephesians 4:24 put on your new self, which is created in the likeness of GOD…doing right and being separate from evil- forsake the world. JESUS said, “MY kingdom is NOT of this world” (John 18:36).
2 Peter1:3b-4 “…through the knowledge of HIM that has called us to glory and virtue (doing what is right) whereby we are given great and precious promises: that by using these you might be partakers of the divine nature having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”
As we listen to and obey the nudges GOD gives us through HIS Holy SPIRIT we can claim any promise that jumps out at us as we read GOD’s word.
