Maintaing Spiritual Health in Your Christian Life

admin — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 22:37:50 +0000

Have you been maintaing your relationship with God and spiritual health well. It’s vital to the life of a Christian. When our heart is hurting, and we are upset, we must protect our heart. For God has deposited spiritual truths in us for the objective of us relating them others. Yes, through you God can bring an hopeful word to someone.

Start with prayer, this gives God authorization to help us. The bible says let not your heart be troubled but put your trust in God. Keep the focus on Jesus rather than the upsetting circumstances, as best as you can, this helps in maintaning good spiritual health. He has said (Jesus), He will in no way leave or forsake us.

Communication comes after that because wisdom, at times, is discovered in the council of others. It is lovely to reason things out every now and then, being watchful to not gossip or condemn. Keep a guard on your spirit today and safeguard the call God has placed on your life.

Prov 23: 20-23
My son, attend to my words; consent and submit to my sayings. Let them not depart from your sight; keep them in the center of your heart. For they are life to those who find them, healing and health to all their flesh. Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flows the springs of life.

If we can remain in good spiritual health by guarding our hearts and remaining in God’s word, our life as a Christian will shine brightly to all those around us.

The Lord is Near

Now matter what is going on in your life today, the Lord is near to you. He has promised to never leave you nor forsake you. He loves you very much.

Psalm 145:18-20
The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.
He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them. The LORD watches over all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy.

Trust God with your life today… all of it. Take a moment to just acknowledge his faithfulness and recall the times when He has revealed himself in real ways. He will never let you go.

Growing Stronger in The Things of God

Everyone who is great at doing anything has spent a lot of time practicing. Growing strong in the things of God is going to take a commitment to living in His ways. Swimmers who have won gold medals in the Olympics received the highest achievement reward because of their commitment to training. When you learned how to ride a bicycle it took a lot of practice to get good at keeping your balance. The same principles apply to increasing in spiritual strength.

Luke 6:47-49
” I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice. He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.”

If we regularly practice the things that the Lord has taught us and continues to teach us, eventually we will get stronger in the ways of God. Our ability to stand strong in faith will increase as we continue to live a lifestyle of believing that God can do the impossible.

I recently heard a great message where the speaker said that it takes twenty-one days to break a habit. There are things that we must do in order to get stronger in God. We must read our Bible, pray and spend a lot of quality time with Him. If you haven’t been growing stronger in God, consider making a commitment today to do things differently for the next twenty-one days of your life.

Having a Blessed Life

We will find many keys in the Bible that will open the doors of blessing. Having a blessed life mainly comes from seeking after the things of God on a daily basis. Jesus told us to seek the Kingdom of God first. The blessings which come from God are a direct result of loving the Lord, your God, with all of your heart, soul, mind and strength.

Psalms 1:1-2
Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked nor stand in the way of sinners nor sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.

Do you spend time in prayer daily? Do you read God’s word regularly?

Is worshiping God something that you do each day?

So how do we have a blessed life?

Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. That’s the key to having a blessed life. Consider making some changes in your routine so that you can spend some quality time with the Lord delighting in Him even more than you already are.

Learning Directly From God and Being Guided by His voice

admin — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 13:23:53 +0000

If we are going to be effective in God’s Kingdom here on Earth, we must learn to humble ourselves by abandoning our opinions and seek after His will for our lives. God has personalized revelations that He desires to share with each of us on a daily basis. To tap into the things that He has for us, we must put aside everything that is at our disposal for learning and instead go directly to God and say: “What do you have for me today?”

John 5:19

Jesus gave them this answer: “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.

Jesus did only the things that he saw his Father/God doing. We read in various places in the New Testament about how Jesus spent much time in prayer… sometimes praying all night. He would withdraw to lonely places and pray early in the morning and any time during the day.

I believe that spending time in prayer is the key for directly hearing the voice of God. It’s a good idea to have your Bible during these times of prayer. Often times we will be guided by the Holy Spirit to look at a particular passage which God will speak to us through.
