step 4. The Holy Spirit living in you.


I like the fact that He ignites the passion, the zeal. He creates the inspiration, enthusiasm. I'm grateful that He is my helper, with my own will power I'm just weak, with the Holy Spirit I'm strong.

I am grateful for the Holy Spirit, for His comfort and healing. For His gentle words and touch when I was wounded and needed comfort. I like His company and friendship. It brings me to deeper places, higher levels and broader perspectives.

I will give it a new try to read the word daily with help of the Holy Spirit. I don't like reading, the bible I find hard to understand sometimes, but I will try again, cause I believe with the Holy Spirit it should work out fine.

well, not much to say today, but God bless you all...

step 5.

being renewed is important. I've experienced that the dreams that I had, have been changed in something bigger, something that glorifies God. I really have experienced that I have changed and that my motives and intents are completely different. so it is an interesting journey, being slowly transformed. I am changing, I am being transformed, so I know that I am on the right track.

I might not always feel that way, or even see the results but if I look back a year ago or longer I see the differences and the growth.

GBU all today

Yep you are right...the transformation comes slowly and over time...but when you are changed...the beauty is recognizable...even from a distance of great lengths. His Light shines through you and just exudes all around.

luv ya

I'm really grateful for your support :)

I've had a hard time during this study. not about the study itself, but just more stuff happening around me, that got me distracted and I sometimes can just wonder too much about the sense of living a life here on earth and what is my goal here. I've done the MCFC study and it helped me a lot to know where my gifts are, but sometimes Id like to speed things up, instead of allowing God to do the timing.

I don't know exactly what I'm struggling with, just a sense of something going on inside me. somehow there's a strong spiritual battle around me that discourages me to continue this study. it's by discipline I'm continuing. I think I just need to make more time with the Holy Spirit to solve this, but physically I'm just extremely tired of things that have happened in the family and so, so I hope God gives me new strength to keep moving, cause sometimes I just want to sleep the whole day and not think about a thing, like pretending I'm not really awake or so and stay in bed. I don't have these moments often, but sometimes they do occur, especially after a hard time with my mom being sick. it's a form of selfpity I know that, but hard to resist. so perhaps I will just try to spend a long time with the Holy Spirit to build and strengthen the relationship.

once again, I'm really thankful for your support. :)

Hey sis...yep it's a lack of motivation...a major attack the enemy uses to stop us in our path...see every time you step out to do something for the Lord or to grow closer to the Lord and strengthen your relationship with Him...the enemy is going to come knocking...and that's what is going on now...so put on your full armor of God and get back to it.

luv ya

Sometimes life feels so overwhelming we don't want to get out of bed. Or the monotony of doing the same thing over and over every day. Or when others are fighting all the time.

It can steal our joy and make us feel like what's the use in it all. What can you glean in understanding from this?

What do you notice about you so next time the situation comes up you will be stronger?

Love ya! *hug*

P.S. Also you can bind spirit. And Angels love to worship and praise. Sing some praise to the Lord before the study.

@mlg, Pine. it's a lack of motivation, an attack, but I'm getting through it. there are songs again in my heart to sing that are lifting me up. they're just popping up as encouragement and make me smile.

I think that putting on the armor is important and whenever I feel overwhelmed I should start singing. cause music is my language when words are gone.

and now things are going better. I had a great time with the Holy Spirit, really having a conversation. I think one of things that blocked that, was me unknowingly getting into some twisted holistic/taoistic worldview that changed the importance of everything. I repented from that and I feel better.
like it says in day 6.

just to say. I'm sorry, I was wrong. that took away the pride I had that I couldn't be wrong about something. actually, Im more often wrong than I would think, but this humbles me. I feel like finally I'm getting to the point that I start to understand the Holy Spirit just a little bit. I mean, I have surrendered, I have given in and given up, but now it's getting into conversation mode like as with friends. the great discussions and new perspectives are intriguing, as I start to understand some of the intelligence and beauty. The Holy Spirit speaks through music, through the melody and that encourages me, knowing that the Holy Spirit speaks to me in way that are easy for me to understand or listen to. as I'm really sensitive as well, that just makes it awesome to have great convos and great intimacy. it has landed in my heart :)

I feel like it grows because I made a choice to trust, to let go, to forgive and to return. cause my return, my choice to break my pride and to just come brought a breakthrough. all things come with a choice. not choosing is a choice. for too long I just didn't choose and that was a choice, now I've chosen truth and freedom and relationship and it's bringing growth. now I need to learn more patience and dependancy in order not to rush things. thankfully. life is one big learning process :)

step 7. living a spirit filled life.

wow I finished this program. It was awesome. I've learnt so much about the Holy Spirit and it truly changed my life. This intimacy is something I don't want to miss. it's so important for me, knowing that He already knows what I'm trying to say if I can't find the words. that's really helping.

I think through this intimacy I'm slowly getting healed, as I allow the Holy Spirit to work in every area of my life. I've chosen to trust Him, to surrender and to let go. Already I feel like a burden is lifted. And so I start to see things more clearly which is great. My discernment is growing and I feel like I'm growing every day a little bit. There is fountain of joy once again in me. just some bubbles hahaha

but yeah, I enjoyed this program very much. thank you so much for praying and reading my messages, I appreciate that :)

GBU.
