Four Words That Dramatically Impacted My Spiritual Walk During 2011

My dear friends, I am so excited to share with you, today, a foundational truth, that if you have not already heard and received, will be of great benefit to you. It will possibly assist, in the continual process of the transformation and renewal of your mind, (Romans 12:2) and will in turn help you to have a more effective prayer life, and victorious walk with the Lord.

This simple truth, as I heard it and applied it, has made such a huge impact in my life, during 2011. It has freed me up from so much frustration, disappointment, effort and sometimes self condemnation. It has changed how I approach God in prayer and most importantly how I relate to Him.

How To Remove Hindrances From Your Life

For most of us, our lives flow along quite smoothly, with only a few bumps in the road. We may meet with certain  obstacles or periodic detours, that are extremely challenging.  Some obstacles are stubborn, and just seem to take their own leisurely time to shift, but they do move eventually with patience and guidance!
Others have lives, that just seem to be one long rocky road, filled with deep potholes, continual detours and breakdowns at every twist and turn.

The Lord warns us in John 16:33, that we will face challenges. We will face incidents that hinder our spiritual progress.  Some challenges often attempting to distract us from serving God, as we would like to serve Him - wholeheartedly.

There are two question, I would like to ask you today:-  "How do you handle your hindrances and do you respond to them according to God's Word?"

You Have The Power To Penetrate Your Circumstances

My friends, I don't know about you, but I so love the Word of God!
Many times, after I have completed my daily devotional and the reading of the Word.  I hold my Bible in the palm of my hand, thank God for it, and just marvel at what it is, that I actually hold. I never fail to contemplate the wonder and excitement of God’s Word and its power in my life.

God says in Hebrews 4:12 -

It is "living".

It is "powerful"

It is "sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit"

It is "a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart".

How absolutely amazing is that.
 

It is sad to know that God’s Word is often neglected – even by some Christians, who are struggling needlessly, with issues in life, not realizing that the answer is in the Word of God.
