I asked myself today how could i minister to someone? How could i speak into someone's life? How would i know what to say to someone? How could i hear the lord and have him tell me something to tell someone else?
Then i asked myself a question. Does the lord want us to be able to recognize problems within ourselves? Immediately after i asked that question he gave me an answer. " Cast the beam out of your own eye, and you will see clearly to cast out the beam in your brothers eye." Matthew 7:5
The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. The carnal mind is emnity agaisnt God. To be dead in the flesh is to be alive in the spirit. So many times i've heard this, read it, understood the concept. But unless the lord gives it to you and shows it to you. Writes it on the tablet of your heart. It's meaningless! It profits you nothing because the spirit of God did not give it to you. Their is no root. He did not add it to your foundation. He wants too, the spirit is willing. But if you can't recieve it [ Truth ] your not gonna get it. He makes all things beautiful in his time. In your patience you pocess your soul.
So die to your flesh! chase after God! It's harder for some people [like numero uno]. Some people can just let go. we have a tendency of building walls around our hearts so we don't get hurt to protect ourselve's. Relying on things the world has taught us. Whatever it is as long as it's an option for us to fall back on. We can't fully be alive, free, liberated in the spirit!
He is the potter and we are the clay. Praise God for everything he is. He is worthy!

True Trevor.
After 3 years of being with Jesus Himself, Jesus said to apostles: John 16:12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 13Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
We may hear things over and over again, or read them but we are unable to bear them. When the potter forms a pot it is not fit for service in its' moist form. It must be fired or dried, perhaps even glazed and fired. The point is that until we are ready, we are not. Until we love truth it will escape us. Until we submit to the Holy Spirit and die to ourselves we walk in the flesh.

True words.
Unless we completely die to ourselves and speak, walk, live according to the leading of the Spirit, our works will be burnt up.
So many choose to speak to those who they "feel" are less spiritual than they are...because they are not intimidated by them. But we must all hear by the Spirit of truth and become all things to all people(as Paul said: becoming weak to the weak, strong to the strong, that he might win some).
Humble yourself before God. Receive the fullness of the Spirit of truth, that He may lead you into all truth. Go boldly unto the throng of Grace, holding nothing back.
God bless,
Ryan
