Its Go Time

Hello,
This week for TVVT we'll be focusing on walking/talking to the Spirit. Over the last few months I’ve been learning how important it is to be in touch with the Spirit.
And as we all know while we fast we open doors for the Spirit to move in our lives and we allow ourselves more opportunity to hear from Him. When its all said and done we need to have knowledge of God. And throughout the day its important to know what’s on His heart and what He is saying to us. The Holy Spirit is a real person who we need to get to know. The same way we talk to God the Father and Jesus we need to address the Holy Spirit and invite Him into our lives so that He can take us to a deeper relationship with God and to learn the leadership of our Lord Jesus better.Our focus verse this week comes from Philippians 1:27
Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear of you standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel...
I was reading through Philippians and this verse totally jumped off the page and reminded me the importance of the gospel and how Christ has called us to pick up our cross daily and follow Him. This verse also highlighted the importance of staying in one mind and spirit with our fellow believers as we press on to live according to the word and press on in our faith. I believe that this verse was an invitation for us in TVVT to press on together focused on our calling in Christ and to invite the Spirit to move in our lives, leading us and guiding us to a deeper relationship with our Lord.I'll end with a little prayer a wrote just a little while back. Enjoy! and have fun this week!!
Lead Me On
A single whisper
Or a thought in my head
A word form the Lord
Is what the Spirit said
Father teach me to hear Your voice
Show me how to follow Your way
Whether I'm here in Your house or out on the street
I need to hear the words you Say
Then I will walk in the light
And I'll be attentive to Your voice
Knowing in any precious moment
I'll turn to You and make the right choice
Amen
