When we accept Jesus Christ as our Redeemer, we are filled with the Holy Spirit. And this indwelling of the Holy Spirit commands us to examine our ways.
Are we carrying on as before? Or are we experiencing that niggly little voice in our ears telling us that we are still sinning. That voice is the Holy Spirit. And it is commanding us to change and to become "new creations" in Christ.
We can no longer listen to the same music and enjoy it. We can no longer watch smut on television. We can no longer listen to bad language. We start to feel the anguish and the pain on our soul. That is the Holy Spirit working in us. We can no longer walk by and see human suffering. We feel compelled to step up to the plate.
That is how we can tell that we are now children of GOD. If we are not experiencing these "growing pains" we are not filled with the Holy Spirit and it is time to examine whether in fact we are what and who we say we are - children of GOD!
Prayer: ABBA FATHER, today I call upon YOU to give me the wisdom to examine myself through YOUR eyes. I humbly ask that YOU fill me with YOUR Holy Spirit anew. I pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay truly GOD blessed today!
