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.

SIN IS A DEMONIC DECEPTION THAT MASTERS YOUR MIND AND MOTIVATES YOUR MOODS. RIGHTEOUSNESS DELIVERS FROM DEATH AND DESTROYS THE DECEIVER. RIGHTEOUSNESS LIBERATES FROM THE CAPTIVITY AND CONTROL OF THE POWERS OF PERDITION. RIGHTEOUSNESS VALIDATES VICTORY AND TEACHES TRUTHFULNESS AND TRUST. RIGHTEOUSNESS REDEEMS FROM THE CURSE AND REMOVES THE CANCEROUS CAUSE. RIGHTEOUSNESS REVEALS TRUTH AND TRIUMPHS OVER TORMENT. RIGHTEOUSNESS ILLUMINATES THE DARKNESSAND ENLIGHTENS THE DESPERATION. RIGHTEOUSNESS IS GOD CONSCIOUSNESS, IS MINDF...

HAVE YOU BEEN POISONED?

How you can tell when you’ve been poisoned . Your actions and attitudes are toxic ! Toxic thoughts lead to toxic actions. Toxic thinking poisons others around us.

Speaking, thinking and acting positive activates life in you, around you, and gives life (energy) to others.

THE VALUES OF SECOND-HAND REVELATION AND MINISTRY ASSOCIATIONS

Or another way of saying this... TO ALL THOSE “HATERS” OF MEGA-MINISTRY LEADERSHIP ;) We always need to constantly and consistently be receiving first-hand revelation from God. We all should also be developing a first-hand relationship with the LORD Himself. Both should first come by through reading and studying His Word. However, I’m also extremely thankful and grateful to God for the second hand revelation and ministry associations of 3 other ministers of the gospel. It was through them that I received a proper scriptural and spiritual foundational in my life and ministry. It was like attending Bible School. Those 3 people are: DR. CREFLO A. DOLLAR, JOYCE MEYER, and especially, DR. CHARLES STANLEY. When I first rededicated my life to Him and He baptized me in the Holy Ghost, His Spirit led me into a deeper understanding and relationship with Him. Then God did something that would be beneficial for me. God knew that I needed to be under some strong Biblical ministry leadership. He co...
