Living
a life that Glorifies God
Gates 5 and 6 : Confession and
Soul Winning
I
have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, But Christ lives in me. The
life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and
gave himself for me. – Galatians 2:20
Brokenness! That is the very first thing
that I learned ( and will continue to learn as I go on in this journey with the
Lord) in our study of Gates number 5 and 6. Truly I No Longer Live but Christ
Lives In Me! It is no longer I but CHRIST!
As I come to God, I would need to be
broken to truly be able to live my life for Him. If I will continue to feed my
flesh with the pleasures of this world and continue to live this Proud I in my life, will the Holy Spirit
will be able to freely work in me? God does not want me/us to serve him while
we continue to feed our flesh with selfish desires. The Holy Spirit cannot work
in my heart if I am still full of darkness in my life. I cannot say that I have
totally surrendered my life but not do the will of God. God wants me to be just
like a sheep. The sheep goes wherever
the shepherd leads. God’s Sheep – the Lord Jesus is full of humbleness, meekness, compassion and love.
These same characters I must have so that the Dove may rest in me. So that the Dove may rest in us. And we may
use the authority that the Lord has given us – CHRIST IN US! (Colossians 1:27)
God has always been with us. We just
need to know Him and let Him into our
hearts. He has been knocking. Let’s welcome him.
If you have welcomed him into your heart
and surrendered your life to him, He lives in you. Christ in You. Are you
willing to be broken and let God work through you for His glory alone? Are you
willing to be humbled and broken for His love to be known to others?
How did God speak to you this summer?

I thought that AOT was just focused
on Nehemiah Teams. I thought it’s just all about leadership. But as time went
on, God spoke to me through this training. He changed my vision, my goals in
life. I thought that my life is just mine,
but NO!. God proved to me that my life was not mine anymore because I belong
to Him. He changed my perspective – from self-centered to God-centered. He
is telling me to obey Him. Only Him.
Prayer Request:
May this fire continue to burn in my heart!
