Add To Your Faith

 2 Peter 1: 5-7

And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

 

Living for God with intentionality, There are some behaviors that are done by setting our will to make choices that lead to godly living. There are some things that just don’t happen just because we have given our lives to Christ and have surrendered our heart to God in sanctification. There are virtues of Christian living that are works in progress. The end goal is to have our lives demonstrate love and kindness to everyone that crosses our path. Knowing the will of God, we seek to control our impulses and desires. Having the Holy Spirit to guide and empower us to make the right choices is to live a holy life, and blameless in this present generation. 

Touch of Christ

Luke 8 :46 “And Jesus said, “Somebody hath touched Me, for I perceive that virtue is gone out of Me.”-

We are touched by many things in life, but the greatest touch we can receive is the one given by God. The power of Christ is able to touch anyone who reaches out in faith, believing that He is and is able to do the impossible. We all need His touch. At one time or another, we need His touch to bring healing to our body. Our mind is on overload and we are stressed out, we need His touch. Our emotions and nerves are on edge, We need His touch. Our soul is damage from sin, we need His touch. It is the touch of the Master that will heal soul, mind, body and spirit. “Lord, let me reach out and touch the border of your garment and receive the touch of God, so I may live and glorify your name”
