Using the Spirit of God

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:[12] We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us.

Observation: To understand what God has given us we need to be willing to seek the spirit of God. All of us have access to the spirit, but we must want it and seek it each day. We may not have the spirit of the world but that is where we live and we are surrounded by it each moment of every day. To feel the spirit from God we must remove ourselves mentally from the world and seek God in the quiet of our heart and mind and truly desire to hear from Him. We know what is right and wrong and deep down we seek to do the will of the Father, but we must make the attempt to know and understand God’s desires.

Application: I need to remove myself to what the world is telling me and seek God’s spirit and be led by Him alone. My goal cannot be of earthly things but of why God has placed me here at this time and place. I have a spiritual purpose to fulfill for God’s glory and I need to strive for that every day. He has allowed me the ministry of Getting over depression and I must seek His will for this ministry and be obedient to what He desires.

Prayer: My Lord open my eyes and fill me with your spirit. Make it clear to me each day what it is you desire of me. I’m here to serve you alone and to fulfill the purpose you created me for. Help draw me near so I may know your will.
