Reinvent Yourself
By Serving ChristReinventing Yourself by Serving Christ
After a major health event, we reexamined our current lifestyle and decided I didn't like the direction our life was going. While I was sitting in my hospital bed, reading the word of God and speaking to some spirit led friends. I read John 14:26 "But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative—that is, the Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you." and John 16:13 " When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future." We realized I wasn't being led by the Holy Spirit, but by men's opinions. This is when we removed people who didn’t fit in with our Christian lifestyle. Why? 1 Corinthians 15:33 "Don’t be fooled by those who say such things, for “bad company corrupts good character.” I reinvented myself and no longer follow the teachings of man-made denominations within organized religion. We belong to God, and it’s to God alone that we owe our lives, obedience, and service. It changed my life! Now I focus on taking care of myself and my family.
‘In the last days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams. In those days I will pour out my Spirit even on my servants—men and women alike— and they will prophesy. And I will cause wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below—blood and fire and clouds of smoke. The sun will become dark, and the moon will turn blood red before that great and glorious day of the Lord arrives. But everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’Footnote: Joel 2:28-32.
"Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance."
Philippians 4:19And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.
