When we hold onto something, God isn't able to bless us the way He desires to. We can't let the blessings of yesterday stifle the blessings of tomorrow
Because knowing demands receiving, let us receive so we can know.
1. Let us receive THE Spirit (v.1-5)
- if you are alive in spirit, the Spirit of God is alive in you
- even though it's hard for us to accept the fact that God lives within us because we know ourselves, the truth is if we are saved, God's spirit truly is within us
- just because we are alive and breathing doesn't mean He's the one leading
2. Let us receive THE Wisdom (v.6-13)
- the wisdom that we need is not something that we can attain outside of scripture
- the wisdom that God has is hidden from the world
- how will living by God's wisdom distinguish us from those who are living by worldly wisdom?
3. Let us receive THE Christ (v.14-16)
- don't be wowed by all the "Little c" christs in the world
- if we want to be what God wants us to be, we must have the mind of Christ Read More...
