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: Warning lights & road-readiness

Is there anything I need to confess, surrender or turn away from?

Acts 3:19-21

19-20So repent now; turn to God so that you can be forgiven and freed from all your sins, that you can enjoy times of refreshing that only the Lord Himself can give, that the living Christ will come to you now and that Jesus will return at God's appointed time.21He has to remain in heaven until the time comes that has been promised through the holy prophets, when God will restore everything to His purposes.

1 John 1:5-10

Walk in the light5This is the message, the revelation that we heard from Him and now reveal to you: God is Light; in Him there is no darkness at all.6If we claim to share in His Light and yet walk in spiritual darkness, we only lie and do not live according to the truth.7But if we walk in the Light, just as He is in the Light, we share in His Life together and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin, from everything we have done against His will.Confess sin8This does not mean that we never sin. If we claim such a thing we only deceive ourselves and the truth does not live in us.9Yet if we are honest with Him and confess our sins, He then forgives our sins and purifies us from everything that is not right in His eyes. He is always faithful and just to do this.10But if we claim we have no sin, and therefore have no need of forgiveness, that is tantamount to calling God a liar and is evidence that the truth of His Word has no place in our lives!
