Living by the Spirit, by Faith

Here's the Formula:
Daily Pray, Read and follow Holy scripture. Reading Bible study lessons available from: www.itiswritten.com is very helpful.
Then daily follow the Holy Spirit's leading in your life.


I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loves me and gave Himself for me. Galatians 2:20

We can be lead either by the flesh (our natural desires) or the Spirit of God. It is when we choose to be led by the Spirit of God that God's will is done in our lives.

When we come to Jesus Christ by faith, self dies, and we are made new through Jesus living His life in us.

If you can find this book, Please Read! Available on Amazon
The Third Coming (2006) by Celeste Perrino Walker.
A story of a mom working 2 jobs. Her husband is in prison, her teen son on drugs, her at home teenage daughter is pregnant. The story is set in about the last year of Earth's history. My favorite part is section two: The Judgement. The care and love that God has shown to everyone - in heaven or lost forever. God has done everything possible to save them, but they rejected Him. I wish I could make The Third Coming sound as appealing as it truly is.
