Week 8 Day 6
GIGO. An interesting word I learned my first year at Business School. Garbage In, Garbage Out. This applies to everything we learned that semester in Programming Language. If you put something in wrong, the computer will spit it right back to you as trash. Oh!! What excitement and joy when a program works to its full capabilities and provides a user with a smooth interface and output! This statement applies to all of life. What you reap you will also sow!
Read: Galatians 6:1-10, I Thes 5:12-28
The work of the Holy Spirit must be fresh in you and any other person who labels themselves as a follower of Christ. The work of the Holy Spirit begins when you accept Jesus Christ and ask him to give you the gift of living in daily obedience to him. The Holy Spirit using and filling you begins when you begin to live the life that Christ has called you to and receive all that Jesus is in you. That begins when you accept the gift of Jesus' death and resurrection and continues as you daily live in obedience to who He is and who he is calling you to be. From the Holy Spirit, we learn justice and grace, faith and exhortation, boldness and restoration, service, obedience, right counsel, and how to take responsibility for others. It is this power at work within you that gives you the ability to mend the broken hearts of others and reach those who are hurting.
Application:
How is the Holy Spirit at work within you?
What gifts has he given you to share with others?
How has he shaped you to serve?
What is he giving you to accomplish today?
What things are you putting into your heart and mind that spark you on?
GO DEEPER: 2 Thes. 2:13-17, 3:6-15, Ps. 143:1-12

About the Book
WHY THIS BOOK?
The purpose and desire I have in writing this is to help give us a place to begin developing our passion to dig in, to be changed, and be a changer of lives. In becoming authentic, fully dedicated followers of Christ we begin to understand our weakness and understand that God’s power is essential to our perspective and furtherance of His good news.
Through the stories and readings, I pray and hope that God would allow you to begin seeing the need to dig in, to daily grow closer to abiding with Him, to grow into the godly person He has called you to be, and begin growing others in the discipline of faith.
...So Be Real!!
