“Then the Spirit of the Lord came on me, and he told me to say:…” Ezekiel 11:5.
Verse chosen from today’s Bible reading: Ezekiel 8-11, and Revelation 4.
Isn’t that the way believers want it to be?
The “Spirit of the Lord” telling us what to say.
When I became of believer in what God through Jesus had done for me, I received a new spirit, His. I became a new person (free from sin’s burden) with all the rights and privileges therein.
I want to live rightly representing Him in the now through the end of my life on earth.
BUT how often I act as someone without His Spirit working in me! I betray our relationship. I function as if He didn’t exist.
I want His Words passing my lips. I know that He is aware of what I say. What I want is an assurance that the words I will be using will be His Words. How is that done? I must have a relationship with Him that is full-time. There cannot be any “down” time. The relationship must be never-ending. Less than that brings a bad ride on the slippery slope to godlessness.
“Lord, I beg to have Your Words only. My words are folly. My words are insulting. Forgive me for ever imagining that I can manufacture Godly Words on my own. Too much history to assure the foolishness of such thinking. I love You, Father. I praise You. Guide me, O thou Great Jehovah.”
Do our words sound as if they came from God or we made them up on our own?
His Word For Me
