221//moment by moment//

Romans 8: 5,6,9,14.

"For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace... But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His...For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God."


So walking with Jesus has to be more than a moral nudging about what is right and wrong. It has to be more than Sunday at church and doing good things for people. Because those without Jesus can also do good things for people and go to church. It has got to come down to a moment by moment relationship with His Holy Spirit... about taking time throughout your day to still your mind and body and listen for what He is prompting you to do and say next. It has to be more than a one way conversation at prayer time where we say all the stuff we're worried about and need help with. We can't just hang up the phone and not listen for the response and what action to take or not to take. Prayer is not just about asking for what you want. Prayer is your relationship with God. Prayer is like talking to your spouse or parent or friend. It's the act of being 'one' with Jesus and knowing Him. Prayer is a state of living.
