Building Up


8/16/2016 
 
For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries. But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men. He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church ( 1 Corinthians 14:2-4).

     Your complexes will vanish as the Holy Spirit imparts confidence. Your fears will vanish as the Holy Spirit builds you up. Your past failures and sins will be dealt a decisive blow by the Holy Spirit. This change will take every weak area in your structure and begin to brace and strengthen it, giving you glorious victory.
     You may not even notice the change taking place, and you might not even realize it's the Holy Spirit doing the work quietly and internally. But it won't be long before what is happening on the inside begins to manifest itself on the outside.
     As you come into a deeper relationship with God, you will find that you cannot survive on a "Now I lay me down to sleep" prayer. Your prayer life will have to match your ministry and commitment to Spirit-filled living.
     The best defense against disease is our natural immune system, which has been designed by God to help us ward off the enemies of our body and diseases that come against us. But the immune system must be kept strong and vibrant by eating right, getting plenty of rest, and exercising.
     Many of us are at our own lowest ebb spiritually and have become susceptible to anything that comes our way. But if we pray in the Holy Spirit we will be built up, enabling us to fight off sin and discouragement.

Are you edifying and exhorting yourself or God and the Church?
~ T. D. Jakes ~     Saint James Assembly of Faith
