walking in the Spirit



Walking the walk...

Are you walking in the spirit? Think about it...before you click off this blog and move on to something else, take some time to consider your walk. Are you walking in the Spirit? The Apostle Paul encourages us to “Walk by the Spirit” and he goes on to say “and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.” (Galatians 5:16) So many believers struggle with “sin” and the word of God teaches us if we are walking in the spirit we will not give in to sin! How do we walk in the spirit? That is a great question, I am so glad that you ask; we walk in the Spirit by immersing ourselves in to the Word of God! The Bible truly helps us to understand the characteristics of Christian living! We are to be mirror reflections of Christ! Others should be able to see our Savior in us! By staying clean, close and continual our lives will be a beacon to those around us who might be struggling with the issues of life. St. Francis of Assisi said “Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words.” Walking in the spirit will take you places that you have never dreamed of. I feel compelled to reach as many people for Christ that I can. This may seem overwhelming to some but by walking in the Spirit I can feel confident that our Awesome God is going to use me to do amazing things! St. Francis of Assisi also said “Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.” Walking in the Spirit is a daily thing! So start walking today! You will be blown away at how God changes the direction of your life! I love you all! <><

We"ve come to worship

We’ve come to worship...

Yesterday was truly an amazing day for me! I had a great opportunity to worship God! Don’t get me wrong, I worship regularly, but yesterday I worshiped in a completely different way! Our Church moved our evening service to St. Augustine beach and I had the wonderful opportunity to see 27 people profess Jesus Christ in a real and personal way by following Him in believers baptism. I also got to experience the body of Christ fellowship and see the gospel presented while many people gathered around to watch! A lady from Michigan could not believe that we were doing this! She thought it was wonderful to see the Church alive and well! We must always remember that the church is not brick, mortar and concrete nor is it wood and shingles. The Church is a live...it is people who are sold out in a relationship with Jesus Christ! We (Believers) are the Church! I cannot help but wonder what those who gathered around thought about hearing the gospel! My prayer is, that because of what they saw and heard that their lives would be somehow changed forever. We truly serve an amazing God! He is worthy of all of our praises! We can worship Him anywhere! I love you all <><
