Galatians 1.10 (In sharp contrast to the time when I needed letters of authority from the religious institutions of the day, endorsing my mission) God is my complete persuasion. I answer to him alone, not anyone else. Christ employs me; I am addicted to his grace. Popular religious opinion will not influence me to compromise my message. (What is the point of an impressive CV, when your Maker is not even asking for it?)
I am not here to please people. I’m here to walk with Jesus. To be Jesus was skin on. Over the years, I have allowed myself to be motivated and propelled to do things other ways and not necessarily Jesus’s way, but thinking it was.
In years past, the pastor would say don’t believe me? Check the word for yourself. That’s what I do, I look up words and make sure they mean what they say they mean.
My way is the Holy Spirit way that is my focus moving forward.
I have found with myself when I follow Holy Spirit. I have more peace in my heart versus the other.
I do realize there is a fine line there because you can get really good stuff from a religious organizations. It’s like eating a fish. You have to spit out the bones, the parts that aren’t good for you.
I will not allow popular religious opinions to influence me. My influence comes from Holy Spirit, Jesus and God not necessarily in that order😊😊
It seems like there is not a single message that I listen to that something is said that causes me to have a check in my spirit. Then I look it up for myself.
I think it would be easy to have your own personal Doctrine if you’re not careful.
Everything has to be weighed with Holy Spirit.
John 14.26 The Holy Spirit is about to become your close companion, sent by my Father in my name to represent me, to teach you all things and remind you of everything that I have spoken to you. Thus my word will continue to find a voice in you. 27 Peace be with you! I give you my own peace – this is not the kind the world gives – this is peace in the midst of troubled times; therefore you have nothing to fear! Let not your hearts be timid. The Mirror
