To Chew or to Sip? Never Quit!!

What does it mean to grow spiritually? Well if someone you know has been in church for so many years and knows everything the bible says and the pastor can't tell this person different. This person basically STOPPED GROWING Spiritually and has become like a dried up dead bone or weed.

Also one could experience extreme pressures of life and give up one's faith because they are not rooted and grounded in the truth of God's Word. The person may have gone to church for years then decided LIFE is too hard. CARNALLY Speaking.  note* to be Carnal is to think against God's Word. The natural sinful nature we are born with (Rom.3:23) always rebels against God's word.
                       
 Romans 8:5-7 (King James Version)


 ⁵For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
 ⁶For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
 ⁷Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

The Carnal mind always uses it's own intellect and reasoning OVER God's word.
God's will for us is to walk in the Spirit!
HERE'S where the growing part comes in!
  Romans 8
 ¹There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Have you allowed God to change your spiritual diaper lately?LOL! I said that in all humor because I said the Big CHANGE word. lol! You see I didn't want you to get scared and run off. LOL! So then on a serous note: When you've obeyed Acts 2:38 you've put off the OLD man with it's deeds and PUT on Christ.

So have you given something to the Lord that he can work with you on in prayer?

Jesus doesn't just want a part of you but ALL of you!

What do you give God to work with in your situation?

Is your prayer life all one sided? WHOA is Me! All about self?
Try to start focusing on praying for others more and see if the Lord don't help you in your situation!

Again I will ask: What do you give God to work with?
Do you allow him to move in you heart and mind? Or again is it ALL ONE SIDED? Like No I can't Lord or I this and I and I that Prayers?
To serve God is selfless Love. Yes we have needs and He will take care of it IF YOU TRUST him.
Have you ever prayed: Lord Jesus USE ME for your Glory and Purpose? 

Lord, I want to be MORE LIKE YOU! sound familiar?


Many Christians have.I know I have. What did Jesus go through? Pain and suffering. Someone betrayed him spit in his face and was CRUCIFIED for YOU. He was Buried and ROSE again for you. That the New testament plan of salvation might be fulfilled for you and I and all those whom the Lord our God shall call. (acts2:37-39.) 
Well then we should expect to go through somethings!!Your situation will not be nearly as bad as what Jesus went through but problems in Life will come your way! Being a christian doesn't mean we won't have any problems in life.
BUT Rather Jesus wants you to learn from this lesson in Life and help you GROW Spiritually.But in order for you to GROW Spiritually You must deny yourself and take up the cross and FOLLOW HIM!You see THE Flesh MUST DIE.(repentance) So that We may live in Him.(The Holy ghost can Live in us.


You see He is always there for us. Your christian walk might be a little shallow starting out as babes (after obeying his true plan of salvation in Acts 2:38) in Christ,but after you learn to walk with Him and Talk with Him on a daily basis you will  be happy and satisfied with milk. So in order to wean a babe from milk ; Solid foods must be introduced since their GROWING.

Ever have a pastor or teacher give you a scripture and you had a hard time understanding it or maybe you didn't accept it and spit it out? Phhstt! I don't have to listen to that.

LOL. Sometimes you don't want to Chew on solid meat.  So in order to take it in as a whole  (God's word) We will soon learn how to chew on it a while until we can swallow it. :) Then after you eat the Steak(The word of God) You will desire More!!! because it tasted SO Good!! 

Ha,ha Also we know that eventually change will come. Change for the Good or Bad is up to you. One must use those God given chompers and Chew!
Have you obeyed Acts 2:38 by the grace Of God? We are made over comers by His Spirit!
If your looking for a change ask the Lord today for the Holy Ghost and he will give you more than what you need!
We cannot go to heaven on our own terms. It has to be God's way!!
We will grow in God when we learn to lean on Jesus more in Prayer And TRUST him in our trials or difficulties in Life. 
Because a life without God is most miserable. But With God All things are possible.

So I encourage you today don't be satisfied with milk and going through the motions of having church! Develop a real relationship with the Lord in Prayer. He Cares for you. Get to know His thoughts and plans for you in His word . Find an apostolic Pentecostal Church to be faithful to. If your already in one don't be easily offended. Let's face it there is no such thing as perfect church.

As long as there is humans in the church there will be mistakes. Amen.We ALL MUST GROW in the Grace and KNOWLEDGE of Our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 4:13 (King James Version)

 ¹³Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
So let us not become Stagnate in our walk with Jesus!

 Rofl!
Let's seek Him today in prayer! 
The Lord will take care of his People.
The Lord Jesus Christ bless you.
In His Service,
Sister Morton
