Sept 25-27

Hello everyone,

Ok i'm just going to lay some things out for ya'll:

Our goal though this fast and basically through our lives:
Matt 5:6 6"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
1Cor 4:1,2 - 1Let a man regard us in this manner, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.
2In this case, moreover, it is required of stewards that one be found trustworthy.

So we want to hunger and thirst after righteousness (after love) and we want to get to know Jesus and our God.
This last week the Lord, once again, taught me a very important lesson which is found in Proverbs 3:12 -

For whom the LORD loves He reproves, Even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights.

If love ever leaves our hearts in any moment, or towards any peoples or situation we are liable to stumble or fall into sin. We cannot let this happen! In every moment/situation/relationship we need to check our hearts and know if we are following through in love. This hungering and thirsting for righteousness, to act as Jesus did should be a desire of our hearts.
Along with bridling our mouths, eyes, minds, time, money ect... we need to continually check our hearts in every situation. This week lets invite the Holy Spirit to do that at a greater measure and lets bring on the holy conviction and fear of the Lord. Amen.
