Life in Christ and Walking with God is a daily process, it is not something to be taken lightly but it all begins because he loved me, then that love for me overtook me, stirring me up in a rapturous love for him. His love makes me feel like a treasure, the Lord is beyond all worldly pleasure, nothing can compare to the Lord. It takes the most serious mind to walk in the ways of God and of course it cannot be possible without the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit Is within us, making us born of God remaking us, as we allow, in our surrender to God. We, in Christ Must Die daily to the things in our lives that hinder us in our relationship with Christ. Especially the sinful things that we do, which could be lust of the heart for example, like viewing pornography. this isn't a mild or harmless sin. this is something that could really distance ourselves from God. it is this kind of serious sin that renders Christians, men and women useless for the will and Kingdom of God. So now I want to begin talkin about living in God's presence and what that entails, what that means, what kind of Lifestyle that would call for and so here I'll begin.
While I don't want to make habits in our routines the main topic of this, yet it is an enormous part of the discussion and examining our habits and daily routines and those habits that serve us well and don't hinder our relationship with God, these are worth keeping, maybe refining, maybe improving, maybe making it more God, Christ centered and then the habits and routines we have that are sinful, analyzing what they are. for example, I'll use lust of the heart again and pornography this is a serious sin which runs deep within us. I know myself after years of addiction and finally being free now from that addiction and knowing the battle that it is, perhaps I can be of God's use and helping others Break Free. yet, it wouldn't be me and it wouldn't be because of my advice from my experience, it would be the hard work and dedication and the seriousness of the individual that needs help. they will be the determining Factor, if they will be free like I am, but I'm just a living example that you can be and you can live in the freedom of Christ. And the key is to live in the presence of Christ continually in part, but also in part, you will have to examine your habits and your routines of your everyday life and determine which you will have to eliminate and what new habits you can form that are wholesome that will be having you think differently, changing thought patterns, finding things of God that excites you, finding the presence of God and living in the presence of God and this does take work and a serious mind. yes, we have God's spirit, the Holy Spirit but when you want to be free from sinful Habits, routines and daily patterns you're talkin about getting through layers and this takes time, you're talkin about rewiring your mind and here you have deep seeded emotional triggers that are psychological, brain waves and chemical responses in the brain like an addict would have, which makes it harder to break this habit. Those who have been programmed over time through habitual drudgery like a computer that had a program in it that had a virus, you have to get rid of the virus and in order to protect it from getting another virus you have to put up firewalls, you have to get the right protection. the Lord supplies these, his presence supplies these, when we seek him continually, there is no greater protection from the things that easily beset us. they can be overcome but it will take work on the individual's part, it will take a serious mind and we do have God's Holy Spirit and the Bible does tell us that we have the mind of Christ and it tells us to be renewed in our minds and to not be conformed to the world and it's lusts.
