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: Oil, brakes & steering

Are my thoughts aligned with the Kingdom or the culture?

Romans 12:1-2

Living sacrifices1In the light of this wonderful mercy God has shown us, I strongly encourage you, as my brothers, to give your bodies to God in living sacrifice; do what is holy and pleasing to Him. This is the kind of worship He really wants and that is the outworking of the life of His Spirit who lives within us.2In order to live like this you cannot also live according to the standards of the world around you. You need a completely different mindset so that you are certain of God's will for your life and are prepared to put His will into action, for His will is good; it pleases Him because it is perfect!

Colossians 3:1-10

A new life in Christ1You have been raised with Christ to share in His risen life. So set your hearts on heavenly things, for that is where Christ is now seated at God's right hand.2You need to have heavenly thinking and not be restricted by mere worldly thoughts.3Because you died with Christ, your life is now hidden with Christ – in God!4Because He is your life, you will appear with Him in glory when He comes again.Made into the likeness of Christ5So put to death anything that belongs to the old earthly nature, such things as sexual immorality, any kind of impurity or lust, all evil desires and greed, for that is idolatry.6In His wrath God has condemned all such things and those guilty of such sin.7In your old life you were bound by such things.8But now you are to have a completely different walk, in which you can free yourself of all such things, together with anger, rage, malice, slander and speaking in a foul or unclean way.9Neither are you to lie to each other because you have left that old self behind with all the things you used to do then.10Now you have a new self that receives fresh revelation of God your Creator and makes you more and more like Him.
