Spirit-filled and Spirit-Led

Ephesians 5:18 (Amplified Bible)
18And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but ever be filled and stimulated with the [Holy] Spirit. (emphasis mine)

Sometimes, Christians get religious about spiritual events that happen in their lives. They seek and experience the event, instead of the one that gives the event. We’re to experience the fullness of an ongoing and vibrant relationship with God. That means everyday we are to seek an infilling of His Spirit, so we can be overflowing in the power and presence of God. If you are thirsty, you get a drink of water. But you will thirst again; that drink isn’t supposed to carry you through the entire day. You’ll need to drink again and drink often. If in that way in the natural, then how much more we need to do it in the spiritual. We are spirit beings and we have spiritual needs. We should be ever filled constantly. A one-time event isn't going to cut it.

My experience at PODD for Men’s Fellowship

Being at the PODD felt like being at home, but I’m all grown up now . Don’t get me wrong. I loved the praise and worship music team. They really brought us into the presence of God. I loved rejoining with my brothers in Christ. It was good greeting my former pastor and friend. It’s felt good remembering all of the good times, and the not so good times we had there. But I’m not supposed to remain there. Now I belong to a new church, and a new body of believers. Eventually, I had to leave for my new home , and be with my new family .

Dealing with marital differences

I find the more I talk to people, the more they tell me the number one thing that is frustrating them in marriage, they don’t understand their spouse . Men don’t understand women, women don’t understand men. Being around women most of the time has given me some insight on how they think, how they feel, and how they react to situations. Guess what guys? God made them different from us. But thank God, He gives us the blueprint to help us, the Bible. My suggestion is this: Whenever you feel really frustrated or anxious about your wife’s behavior and her attitude, take your Bible and go into your prayer closet. Pray this prayer, “Father God, please change ME to deal with my wife in a way that honors you”. Right now, I probably lost 99% of you with that prayer. I know you would rather be like James and John and ask the Lord to rain down fire on your wife’s head. Maybe then she would submit herself to your leadership. But trust me on this. If you are truly seeking God’s will for your life, y...
