Today in the Our Daily Bread devotional we read a story about two friends. This story had me in tears of joy. The power of the Holy Spirit through them both was moving. It is what I love to see now. Then fluffy bunnies.
The quote that hit me the hardest and gave me clarity was when Baheer was being tortured for his faith after his buddy turned him in to the cops. It goes like this. “This mouth will never speak the name of Jesus again. But, they can not change what He has done in my heart"
I had an Islamic guy from Afghanistan troll me on X and he told me how they are coming to chop our heads off in the USA and blasted something about Jesus. So I say to him because of Jesus that he could never force me to hate him. Because of Jesus I can only love him.
I spit some scripture of love at him and never attacked him or told him he was wrong. I just told him we are only about love. He follows me on X now. Maybe to Dox me and show up to my house or maybe for some other reason only God knows. It was what God would have wanted me to say. Only love.
In the past I would have generated more hate. I would have pulled out verses and told him how he was wrong. I could show him truths that would destroy his reality. I did not. This is the change Jesus has done for me. My new heart and new life is all a gift of following the Holy Spirit.
Are you filled with the Holy Spirit so you can get clues on what to do in life? Peter tells us in Acts 2:38 “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit”. This is my favorite part. The gift of the Holy Spirit. It is unexplainable. It can solve all of everyone's problems.
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you for the gift of the Holy Spirit you sent to convict our hearts. Help us to listen and keep our hearts calm. Thank you for the change you have given all of us and our new lives through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. I thank you in Jesus name, Amen.
Thank you everyone for being here. I love all you guys. WWJD For Life! 🥰
