What is Biblical Meekness?
February 28, 2015 by Leave a Comment
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart:and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Matthew 11:28
Regardless of how society may define meekness
Meekness is not weakness!
The meek person is not self-willed – not continually concerned with self, his own ways, ideas, and wishes. He is willing to put himself in second place and submit himself to achieve what is good for others. Meekness is the opposite of self-will, self-interest, and self-assertiveness.
The Fruit of Our Lives
February 28, 2015 by 1 Comment
Dear Child,
Without the fruit of the spirit, there is no manifestation of My presence within. The fruit is the outward evidence of the root structure.
A light is not hid, otherwise how can it show others the way! Your light shines only as your life manifests the fruit of My spirit. This light reproves darkness, just by shining!
Invest in the root structure and the fruit will be naturally born, not by sweat or toil, but just by abiding and spending time alone with Me.
Thus saith Papa
Gal 5:22 -23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Joy is Love’s strength
Peace is Love’s security
Patience is Love’s endurance
Kindness is Love’s conduct
Goodness is Love’s character
Faithfulness is Love’s confidence
Gentleness is Love’s humility
Self-control is Love’s victory
CHALLENGE: Does your walk manifest His abiding presence in your life?

Metamorphosis
February 24, 2015 by Leave a Comment
Let today be the day you give up who you’ve been for who you can become.
2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord
“In this scripture the Greek for ‘changed’ is ‘metamorphosis’ which literally means a change in form and a change in character. A fine example would be the unexplainable metamorphosis of a beautiful butterfly emerging from the dying shell of a caterpillar. Likewise it is in our secret time with God that we will emerge from our dying self-life to a brand new creation, a metamorphosis by the power of God.”
