Renew the right spirit in us!

                                                     Renew the right spirit in us!

When you look at yourself you see the person you have become over said many years. You have matured physically, but how do you look spiritually? Being Christians we should line up with the attributes that are associated with being a child of God. We have to be renewed!

Psalm 51:10-19

King James Version


10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.


If one does not know how to renew the right spirit within themselves it comes from spending time in God's word. We have to learn how we should act and behave as being dearly loved children of God. 


Matthew 4:4

New International Version


4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’


Others should see God's love through our actions towards them. The more we resist actions that are not godly the more we will cultivate our love walk and Christian actions. 


James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you


Putting away things of old should bring about a newness in Christ to be a light unto the world. Put on the whole armour of God so that we can resist those things that aren't of God. 


Ephesians 6:11-18

King James Version


11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:


We are free to do as we choose, but certain actions are not uplifting God and aren't becoming as dear saints and children of God. 


Galatians 5: 13-14; 22-26

New International Version


13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. 14 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”


22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.


As dearly loved children of God we should walk in a way that is becoming as imitators of our Father God!


Ephesians 5:1-2

New International Version


1 Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children 2 and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.


And being a great father,  God has equipped us with the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us to do those godly actions, and to bring the word back to our remembrance!



John 14:16-18

New International Version


16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[a] in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.

Letting Go of Fear, Anxiety, and Worry!

Now that we have started a new year everyone is starting new year resolutions. Some people want to eat healthier. Some want to have better spending habits. And others want to have a closer walk with Christ. These are all good things to incorporate into the new year, but one could also start the new year off by letting go of fear, anxiety and worry. These are not fruits of the spirit and they can hinder one's ability in life.   In 2 Timothy 1:7 it says, For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. Fear, anxiety, and worry are in this world, but it is not given to us by God. If it is not given to us by God we should not hold onto it.   In Isaiah 26:3 it says, Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.  We should put all our trust in God! If God is leading us we will not fail and we should not have fear or anxiety following God. In Exodus 14:13-14 it says, And Moses said unt...

The Gift!

Since we are in the month of December I would like to talk about gifts! Biblically thinking there are three types of gifts. There are gifts that we give to one another, like on special occasions, such as birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays. Then we think of sacrificial offerings presented to God. And lastly, there are gifts God gives to us, such as salvation, righteousness, and His grace. God is the ultimate gift giver and a perfect one at that! I'm referring to especially salvation! In James 1:17 KJV it says, Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.  In 1 John 2:27 it says, But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you,... This anointing that abides in you is a special gift, the preparation! Then in Ephesians 2:8-9 it says, For by grace are ye saved through faith: and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest any man should bo...

Obedience Yields Results

We read in Hebrews 11:6 that, But without faith it is impossible to please Him. We must have faith to please God, and to even believe that He is God! The word tells us in Matthew 17:20 ...If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, remove hence to yonder places; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. If we are to believe that the word is true we should obey it! In John 21:6 the word says, And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. They had been fishing all night and yielded no fish in return, but after being obedient unto the word of Jesus they produced more fish than they were able to handle. The word of God gives us so many examples of individuals being obedient unto God and they yielded results! In Matthew 8:13 the words says, And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believe...
