About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"FEEDING OUR SPIRIT" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
FEEDING OUR SPIRIT
THIS WORLD WOULD BE SUCH A WONDERFUL PLACE IF ALL CHRISTIANS WOULD TAKE CARE OF THEIR SPIRITS LIKE THEY TAKE CARE OF THEIR BODIES. WELL, MAYBE TAKE CARE IS THE WRONG WAY TO SAY IT...IF THEY WOULD FEED THEIR SPIRITS LIKE THEY FEED THEIR BODIES. WE KNOW OUR BODY HAS TO HAVE FOOD OR WE WILL DIE. WELL, WHAT ABOUT OUR SPIRIT? IT NEEDS TO BE FED ALSO WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD.
IF WE DON'T KEEP OUR SPIRIT FED IT WILL BECOME UNPRODUCTIVE JUST LIKE OUR BODIES WILL IF WE DON'T TAKE CARE OF THEM. HOW DO WE EXPECT TO MINISTER GOD'S WORD TO PEOPLE? WE HAVE TO BELIEVE WHAT WE ARE TEACHING IS TRUE AND LINES UP WITH GOD'S WORD. 1ST TIMOTHY 4:8-9 REALLY PUTS THE EMPHASIS ON THE SPIRIT WHEN HE SAYS "For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
YOU KNOW MUSCLES HAVE TO BE TRAINED OVER A PERIOD OF TIME. THEY DON'T JUST DEVELOP INSTANTLY. GODLINESS IS THE SAME WAY. THE CHRISTIANS THAT TRY TO USE THEIR SPIRITUAL MUSCLES WHEN THEY HAVE NOT BEEN USING THEM WILL FIND THAT THEY ARE IN TROUBLE. IT JUST WON'T WORK. IT WOULD BE LIKE US TRYING TO RUN A RACE WITHOUT PREPARING FOR IT. THAT JUST WON'T WORK EITHER.
SO, FEED YOUR SPIRIT BEFORE YOU GO OUT AND TRY TO MINISTER GOD'S WORD. YOUR SUCCESS WILL BE MUCH GREATER BY KEEPING YOUR SPIRIT FED.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
