Things to Think About

OurÊprayer life is a reflection of our life!Ê Well, what is our prayer life like?ÊÊ For, out of the heart the mouth speaketh.Ê I present to you that, if the Holy Spirit is not in control of your heart,Êyou have short words in prayer.Ê If the Holy Spirit is in charge of your life, you have prayers as long as 5 or 6 hours or more, and no words come out of your mouth.Ê You, also, have fine tuned your spiritual ear to hear the Lord and leading of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit prays for you, many times, and you don't even realize it because of your weakenedÊfaith and relationship with the Father and Lord Jesus Christ,Êor you have no relationship at all.Ê He speaks to your mind to repent and be baptized and then receive the Holy Spirit.Ê Acts 2:38

He, also, speaks to your mind to write music, poetry, writings, and many other creative endeavors that glorify the Lord; thatÊblesses theÊFather and orÊempowers His childrenÊto do the will of the Father,Êfulfilling the whole purpose we were born.

Additionally, the Holy Spirit speaks to our mind to put into words the message.Ê He wants us to speak to others.Ê We need to be very careful and not speak our words because we think He wants it done,Êbut to speak forth only whenÊHe speaks; making ourselves available to be used.

It would be helpfulÊto examine our hearts, obedience, faithfulness, humbleness, and other aspects of our Christian walk as we end one year and start another.Ê We need, also, to listen to our heart, as the Holy Spirit abides in us.

We would be better offÊmaking ourselves available for the Lord's use,Êeach and every day, no matter how we feel orÊwhat situation we find ourselves in.Ê He is a God Of Miracles,Êwanting to Bless All His Children.

This, then, is a wonderful time to examine our lives, kick out the bad, andÊreceive the new.Ê We can even ask the Lord to Open our Eyes and Unstop our Ears.ÊÊ Maybe you are only seeing a little andÊhearing less.Ê Are you gonna think about these things, today?ÊÊDon't put it off.Ê Today is the Day of Salvation.
