Good Morning Spiritual One!

Matthew 16:17 NKJ ~
“Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.”

Do you ever wonder how you a thing? Let me tell you how! It was your Father in Heaven that revealed it was to you! You could not do this on your own! When the question was asked to the disciples, nobody could answer, then Peter spoke up. Jesus told Peter, this could not have come from your own self, you had to get this from God and God alone!

So, just so you know, all the degrees and education in the world can never give you as much knowledge and wisdom as God Himself! On your own, you cannot recognize the true Glory of Jesus Christ, (so, stop trying to do it on your own!) And just to make sure that we are on the same page, no other natural human being can do this for you either! God and only God can open the eyes of your heart to recognize the truth and beauty of Jesus Christ. When you follow the Holy Spirit, God will signal you out from the rest, for it will be evident that you got your information from Him! (Matthew 11:25–27). When God calls you, He will separate you from the rest and assign you an assignment that will change lives and He will tell you exactly how to complete your assignment!

The Bible is your manual, it will tell you how to be a true Christian, and it never gets old or goes out of style, it’s that forever and ever kind of Book! As a matter of fact, you can learn a few lessons from Paul, he never got tired of telling others and now us how to become and behave like a Christian. He reminds us again and again of who we are and how we got to be this way, it was through the Spirit of God. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 2:14, “The natural man does not receive the gifts of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.” So, you see that in the natural you won’t get it, it has to come from the Spirit! Flesh and blood cannot reveal to you the true spiritual reality of Jesus Christ, your natural self cannot and will not know the gifts of the Spirit of God, Period!

In today’s society, this is very important, you need to be, you got to be reminded again and again how you came to have Jesus Christ dwelling in your heart. This is a spiritual thing; your flesh has no room here. There are things that happen when you are reminded about how Jesus came to live in your heart; it elevates your affection and awareness of Jesus Christ, it cause you to follow and love the Holy Spirit on the inside of you, it deepens your security in the love of who God is to you and it humbles you and makes you more eager and ready to show others the way to receiving Jesus Christ into their hearts as well, you want for others what you have experienced through Him.

Every day you must read your Manual in order to understand it. You have to make room for Jesus Christ in your heart, because you must be, you got to be born again, a spiritual birth is the only way, you won’t get there in your flesh. You have to be in close communication and contact with your Commander in Chief, He’s in Charge, (don’t forget that!) In your natural minded self, you won’t know what the things of the Spirit of God are, and if you don’t know these things you will be defeated in this war! But if you have Jesus, you will not only win the battle, but you will win the war!

On today, how are you making room for Jesus Christ to come into your heart?

Let’s Pray:
Thank You Father! Father give me spiritual insight and eyesight to see and know Your inspired Word.  Father, open the eyes of my heart that I may know and recognize You and receive Your Wisdom, not by flesh and blood but by the revealing work of Your Holy Spirit. Father Thank You for revealing Your Word to me, Father Thank You that Your Word is deprogramming my mind and my thoughts, my behavior and my motives, and it’s transforming me more into Your likeness. Father, Thank You for equipping me and showing me how to defeat the enemy through Your Word that I may be free and show others how to come to You too. Today, Father I make the conscious choice to give You my whole heart, have Your Way. In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Blessings…
