A
Wonderful Discovery
MEMORY VERSE
“I am
the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will
bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5)
REFLECTION
Following
Jesus should be exciting, joyful and full of adventure, but an incredible
number of Christians feel lonely, bored and without clear direction. Why is that?
It could be because many hold to the philosophy, “I’ll do my best and let God
do the rest.” That idea is totally opposite of Jesus’ plan for us to
remain or abide in Him. Any attempt to “do my best” apart from God is
weak and fruitless. God’s plan is for every day of our lives to be
an exciting adventure of being filled with the Holy Spirit and living
constantly, moment by moment under His direction.
There
is a fantastic teaching by Campus Crusade called Have you made the wonderful
discovery of the Spirit-filled life? You can find it here. If you make
this wonderful discovery, it will change your life into something better than
you could ever imagine.
ACTION STEPS FOR THE WEEK
Carefully,
slowly, study this teaching this week. It is divided into eight
sections. Go through one section each day for the next eight days.
Find someone to discuss it with. Don’t stop praying through this until
you see evidence of this wonderful discovery in your life.
QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER
In what specific ways are you like the natural? spiritual? and carnal person?
How can you tell when you are working in your own power vs. being directed and empowered with the Holy Spirit?
