Getting honest with God for spiritual growth Acerca de Get Honest with God Evaluations Examine yourselves to see if you are in the faith. Test yourselves. - 2 Corinthians 13:5 Truthfulness for Freedom and Spiritual Growth These spiritual evaluations were designed by God as tools for earnest engagement with Him to uncover areas in our spiritual lives that are in need of growth towards Christlikeness. These are NOT religious evaluations or performance-driven self-inspections. These evaluations are useful for revealing blind spots and aligning us with the plumbline of Christ. When approached with ruthless honesty, willingness to admit to ourselves and to God where we are falling short of Christ 's perfection, and openness to allow the Holy Spirit to change our hearts, we allow God to set us free from unfavorable habits and gives us power to change. As you use these evaluations to discover areas of your heart, mind, spirit, and life that God wants to develop in Christlikeness, you will watch and be amazed at how God builds your faith and transforms your life from the inside out. You will be blessed! View All GHG Exercises How to Use These Correctly - the Plumbline of Jesus Jesus is the example and standard of God's perfect will in action. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you to honestly evaluate your own fruitfulness or lack thereof in the given inspection area. At the same time, consider how Jesus demonstrated perfection. Ask the Lord to guide you into becoming more like Him. How would you summarize the main focus of this exercises? How did Jesus demonstrate spiritual maturity in this? In what ways are you thriving in this? In what ways do you need to grow in this? Ask the Lord to forgive you for ways you have fallen short in this area. Ask the Lord to give you at least one step of obedience to put into practice so that you can continue to grow more like Jesus. Remember that God's mercies are new every morning.

Spring Feasts Passover to Pentecost The LORD is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation; this is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him. -Exodus 15:2 Aucun post publié dans cette langue actuellement Dès que de nouveaux posts seront publiés, vous les verrez ici.

My life changed when I started doing things God's way. I spent years asking God to bless my path, instead of trying to get on His path for me. I prayed for abundance and prosperity, knowing that God was the “lamp to my feet and a light for my path (Psalm 119:105) but I didn’t take responsibility for my part of cooperating with His plans. I neglected to take into consideration that God was lighting His path for me, not my path for me. No wonder it kept getting dark. ARE YOU A: CONTROL-FREAK, PERFECTIONIST, WORKAHOLIC OR OVER-ACHIEVER? An invitation for you... Introduction Hi. My name is Wendy, and I'm a Recovering Type A. I’ve been a control-freak, perfectionist, workaholic, and over-achiever approximately since birth. I was a private equity investment banker in New York City and the youngest one to ever make the executive team. After my first encounter with God, (more on this in Chapter 12) I continued to pursue my Type A agenda with only slight lifestyle modifications. In fact, my life became increasingly glamorous outwardly but unfortunately, it grew increasingly hollow inwardly. That is, until I finally listened to what God had been trying to tell me for quite some time. (More on this in Chapter 4.) By God’s grace, my life has changed. I have gone through a complete metamorphosis and I now have fulfillment, love, joy, peace, and wisdom – abundant life and purpose – that I have never had before. (More on this in Chapter 15.) The purpose of this book is to encourage you on your own journey so that you, too, can experience this kind of transformation and satisfaction. Depending on where you are in life right now, you may prefer certain sections of this book over others. For some of you, Section One (written from a Type A perspective) will feel like you are talking to yourself, while for others of you, it will be intense and exasperating. Section Two could make almost anyone uncomfortable because it exposes the err of a lot of our thinking, Type A or not. For some of you, Section Three may be what you have been seeking for some time, while for others of you, it may feel awkward and impractical. All I ask is that you stick it out through the parts that push your buttons and boundaries. Getting out of your comfort zone is part of growing. No matter where you are in your life right now, I hope that this book blesses you and stretches you into new places in your relationship with God so that you, too, can finally hear what He has been trying to say to you for quite some time and start living the purpose that He has for your life...
