Devotionals
A few movies have been made asking the question, "What would happen if we could access and use 100% of our available brain power?" The Sci-Fi answers to that question are quite entertaining. A thought occurred to me, what if we were truly able to live life being so fully immersed in God that we walked fully in the fruit of the spirit all the time? Once we are born again we are new spirit beings, so why would this not be possible or what do we need to do to make it possible?
Well I think the issue for me in living everyday life is that we can get so caught up in our daily affairs that we loose sight of God. How do we bring God back to our consciousness then and allow ourselves to be lead by the Spirit so that we can live in the Spirit?
Firstly I think it requires constant reminder. The Jews used to have a small scroll that was bound around their forehead to remind them that they should keep God's word foremost in their thoughts. We can do that today by using aids such as audio bibles and audio books, christian music and many other means to keep God within our conscious space.
The next part to that process would be repentance. When we know that we have sinned we should make a conscious decision to repent immediately and if possible verbally, not loud, but out enough for us to hear ourselves. The reason for this is that repentance sharpens our conscience and makes us more in tuned to God's will for us to live Holy lives. Practically speaking though you just get plain tired of saying sorry all the time and stop doing the bad behaviour.
I don't know about you but I am keen to work on this aspect of my life.....and be warned, the devil will be watching!
