Going deeper...to go further

This month we’re using the daily Bible reading plan to do a Spiritual MOT as we prepare for the journey ahead. Often times it is easy for us to focus on the "paint job" of outward appearances, but God looks directly at the engine room of the heart (1 Samuel 16:7). 2 Corinthians 13:5 calls us to examine ourselves to ensure our faith is genuine and active.

The reading plan starts with a couple days of preparation, followed by four weeks of honest reflection before the Lord. Each day, as we read the Scripture, we need to as ask the Holy Spirit: "Is this an area where I need you to help me work on?" If so, what does that change look like in your life? This isn't meant to bring condemnation; it's a beautiful opportunity for calibration and getting right with God.

Our prayer response: "Lord, examine me. Search my heart. Reveal anything that hinders my walk with You. Repair what is broken, realign what has drifted, remove what does not belong, and fill me afresh with Your Spirit. Make me a trustworthy vessel, ready for Kingdom purpose and faithful until the day I stand before You. Amen."

Spiritual MOT: Introduction – Inspection

Am I willing to allow God to examine every area of my life?

2 Corinthians 13:5-10

5So examine yourselves to test whether you are living in genuine faith. Surely it is evident that Christ Jesus is in you, unless of course you fail the test!6I trust it will be apparent to you that we have not failed the test!7I pray to God that you will not do anything wrong, not simply to demonstrate that our ministry among you has not been a failure, but because you are intent on doing what is right.8We must not be seen doing anything that denies the truth we preach, but only that which demonstrates and promotes the truth.9We are not worried about appearing weak so long as you are really strong, and we pray that you will fulfil God's purpose as mature believers should.10This is why I write from a distance in the way I do, so that when I arrive I will not have to be harsh in any way. I exercise my apostolic authority which the Lord gave me to encourage and build you up, not to destroy you!

1 Corinthians 11:27-32

27Therefore, anyone eating this bread or drinking the Lord's cup in an unworthy manner will be considered guilty of committing sin against the Lord's body and blood.28He should instead examine himself before eating the bread and drinking from the cup.29For anyone who eats and drinks without recognising that he shares in the Lord's body only brings judgment on himself.30No wonder many among you are weak and sick, and some have even died, if that is how you behave.31But if we judge ourselves and first repent of our sins, then we would not place ourselves under such judgment.32To be judged by the Lord is to be disciplined by Him, so that we will not be condemned along with the world.
