Getting In the Spirit - Lisa Patterson


Today we are going to discuss Getting In The Spirit. So many people are going to organized Church and do not know how to "Get In The Spirit."
The Lord wants more from us than just to go to Church and come home and the same thing all week long until the next Sun. The Bible teaches to stay in the spirit. The way you do that is to be born again and have a new recreated spirit on the inside of you. Staying in the Word of God will help you to stay in the Spirit.
It is so easy to put the Bible down until a crisis arrives and then you open it up to find where you can get an answer you need from. God wants us to want Him all the time, not just when a crisis happens or when we need Him. But to let Him speak to us is such an awesome experience.
Philip. 4:8 whatever is pure, holy, true, of sound doctrine, let us think on these things. Do not let your mind think on the things that will clog up your mind. No bad words should come out of your hearts(mouths). For the heart is a deceitful thing without the Lord changing you from the inside out. There is no way you can change yourself. Only He can do that for you. For without the Lord Jesus coming into our hearts we will not be saved and all would perish. People are perishing everyday even though God chose you to come to Him and let Him love you and wash your sins away. It is only by the shed blood of Jesus that we are saved from our sins. So when we come into Him and His sweet spirit and get to know Him our minds begin to want to change. We are not of ourselves the Bible says, when we come into Him and let Him save us. So, repent today and let Jesus come inot your heart, soul, and mind and cleanse you of your sins. Then you can get in the spirit like He so desires and let Him talk to you. To let you know how much He loves you and died for you so you may have life and have it more abundantly.
Be still and know that I am the Lord, He says. It is by grace that you have received me and by grace that He died for you so you could live a full life in Him, not of your own. For you cannot live a life of your own anymore when you get saved. It is He living in you. Their is no other way except through the Lord Jesus Christ.
So be filled with the Spirit today by calling on Him. The Lord doesn't have any other way to be saved and get in the Spirit. Today is the day to come to salvation. Be at peace and rest with the Lord Jesus inside of you. There is no rest without Him. It is wonderful to get in the Spirit with the Lord and as you do each day will be stronger.
This is Lisa Patterson with the Good News that Jesus loves you and wants you today.
