Reflections

I'm off to let my mind loose again, but not so much. I've realized that my comfort zone with people is intact. Unfortunately, for Chris my brother, I constantly hear him bicker about how his heart is not into it. He tells me about how he wants to be vulnerable to people. I think he mainly has a calling to go out witness for Christ to anybody. It's a shame that we all have our bad moments, but what makes it great is how those who stand out have this great calling in their lives. I can't really give into great details to support this point, but it feels clearly evident to me. A famous musician has passion to communicate to the audience with his instrument and to explore deeper the imaginative drives of making music. Josh McDowell writes so talentedly about his life's testimony and in a way to allow for the Holy Spirit to minister to his readers.

I believe so greatly that God has given each and one of His believers a gift to be accountable for. It may be common or unique depending on our individual experiences with the Holy Spirit. When I meet up with some worldly believers, I observe how some let out tears. I'm not too sure what it is, but it may be a moment of revealing their true self. It's important to allow the Holy Spirit to minister to us, but whether we are filled with him or not we need to get daily bread. Like going hungry physically, we could end up going spiritually hungry which may lead us to sin.

I've been asked how much I read the Bible daily. I clearly neglect it on my off days. Being knowledgable about the Bible is good because it gives us God's perspective! As Proverbs will show us, the wisest of us is more foolish than God's own foolishness. Most obviously it just makes a point that our wisdom will never reach the knowledge of God. Knowledge of God begins with God, himself! I contend that God's foolishness refers to Christ taking up His cross and the Son of God being a slave to the God the Father's commands. These days, thanks to the mysteriousness of God's touch, we have the computer at our hands to search for scriptures! It really eases the task of having to memorize scripture, but at the very least still try to read the whole Bible. For me to not read the Bible, I fear that it is basing off of my own efforts. There is a clear distinction of how there are believers with the greatest amount of faith to those with the least amount of faith. Through the word, by the grace of God, whatever amount of faith we have in Christ is our entrance into the gates of heaven! A common misconception that many believers still question is how if we can be saved through faith, why can we still sin and be forgiven. It's unfortunate there are ones out there among us who won't hesitate to criticize their own brother's mishaps. Also, it's unfortunate there are those who take the true word of God lightly! This is where supplication comes in handy, it's a fancy Christian word for praying to God to bless them. Like myself and others, we have been baptized by the Holy Spirit through the very words of the Bible. Get this straight, it doesn't have to be my experiences with the Holy Spirit matching with the reader's experience. The reader may not even sense any movement of God's blessing in his life.
