Walking in the Spirit

It's not possible to walk in the spirit with condemnation in your heart- whether it's self imposed or taken in from those around you.

Romans 8:1-2 "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus..."

Condemnation is often placed upon ourselves as Christians in instances where we we don't realize our identity in Christ (as valued sons and daughters) and instead accept an outside view of ourselves, or we simply want to justify our mistakes of the past or our current failures. In our world it often makes sense to beat ourselves up over past mistakes or present shortcomings. It's not like that in the kingdom of heaven. Although the law of reaping what you sow still stands- No one, not even yourself or the past, can hold you back from your full potential in this moment and every moment after it.

Wednesday Night

Philippians 2:1-2 
"Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind."

Church was powerful tonight. Krista spoke on unity and then God's tender love just started hitting people as Heather prayed for them. I haven't felt that part of God's heart in a while and for the past few hours I have felt nothing but the weight of His presence like I'm swimming or moving in slow motion. After that, I prayed for three people and was able to pass on what God placed in my heart for them and God confirmed the words spoken through each person gathered there. One body, mind, and spirit. One love- Jesus Christ.
