Heavenly Father, as I was working on Wednesday nights sermon message, it occurred to me that there are 3 types of believers of Jesus. There are those that believe in Jesus and believe that He is real, but that is it. They don't obey, they just believe. The second group believes in Him and believes that there is a calling on their life. They believe what is said in Luke 6: 40 to be true, but won't allow the changes to be made. Luke 6:40 The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master. Then you have the third group, that will do all and say all and think just as Christ did and they listen to the Holy Spirits promptings and are doers of the Word. Lord, thank You for being patient with me as I know fit into the 3rd group. Father God, we desire to clothe ourselves in Christ Jesus, whose Spirit resides within our hearts. We pray that our behavior would honor You as we seek to behave decently and live according to the pattern of Holy Scripture, for “we were taught, regarding our former way of life, to put off our old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of our minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like You in true righteousness and holiness.” May lust of the flesh be burned up by the fire of the Spirit that ignites us as we redirect our affections, energies, and time to that which is righteous and eternal. Make us like You, Father, as we follow after You in righteousness and holiness. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.
