ASV: Matt. 7:21 – He can hear us, let Christ speak to us, also

ASV: 2 Cor. 5:14, Psalm 51:10, 73:25, Romans 8:14, Heb. 13:21, 2 Cor. 3:5, John 17:23, 6:38, Col. 3:3 – the Lord has to get our hearts to a position, where He is able to easily compel us to maneuver with God/Jesus/The Holy Spirit to abide in what He chooses + desires, and we are unreserved to His will (Psalm 37:4, 40:8). I’ll end with Psalm 86:11, Heb. 10:22,12:2, Phil. 2:13, Gal. 2:20 KJV

ASV: Psalm 119:38, 84:5, Romans 12:11, Col. 2:19, Eph. 3:16, 2 Cor. 3:18, Heb. 12:10, 2 Cor. 4:7 – the thought of being so on fire and passionate for Christ, that others begin to discern inwardly, His refiner’s fire, that strengthens us into Christlikeness, if yielded. I’ll end with a “reflection:” 1 Peter 1:7 + Luke 22:55,61-62

ASV: Luke 6:48, 7:30, Matt. 6:7, Psalm 119:71 – we do often, ask the Lord to remove, whatever is adverse to our lives, which if answered that would render in vain some of our spiritual growth, along with the edification of other members in the Body of Christ (Phil. 3:10, 2 Cor. 3:18, 4:17). I’ll end with 1 Cor. 3:6-7

ASV: Matt. 6:3, 7:25, Prov. 16:2 [spicy and not intended to burn] – on one hand, we can do something for the Lord, and on another, He might not bless that, for His Church because our hearts weren’t sincere, in Spirit and in truth, for His glory (Psalm 51:6, John 4:24, 2 Cor. 10:5, Phil. 1:11, 2 Tim. 2:21).

ASV: Titus 2:12, Gen. 24:27, Ex. 18:20 – I’ll start off, by saying that the instructions from Jesus in the Gospels, require us to see with continuity, His instructions for us today (Heb. 13:8, 5:14, Romans 8:14). God/Jesus/The Holy Spirit understands the generations + environments + the unfolding + more. We require Christlike discernment for spiritual evergreen applications, from Him, not from our self perishable ideas. In both Phil. 3:10 and Heb. 6:1, by His Spirit, the more we know the Lord experientially, there are also unnoticeable aspects from our own perspective, until someone tells us, you actually know how fluent you sound in your sermons, communications, etc? That can also be seen as Eph. 1:19, where His exceeding power is obtainable for the building up of His Church, the Holy Spirit is able to fill that differential gap of us as yielded vessels, with increasingly Him and excel onward (Eph. 1:23). In John 16:13, we need His overflowing guidance, we need to lock on His steps, like correct pairs of spiritual shoes that He would move in, not our fleshy ways of movements for spiritual things (Ex. 3:5, Romans 8:5, Gal. 5:25 NIV). Of significant precursor importance: we need to ask Him, daily, to put off what He sees in us that is both seen and unseen in our perspective, that isn’t of Christ -> Eph. 4:22-24, John 6:63, 1 Thess. 2:13, Gal. 2:20 KJV “Not I” “But Christ” + 2 Cor. 4:7 + John 5:19, 15:4-5. It’ll be like driving without the parking break on, there is more Christlike torque there, a faster run, that would otherwise weigh us down, if unaddressed. I’ll end with 2 Peter 1:3, 1 John 2:5, Heb. 10:22, James 1:12,4:7, 2 Cor. 3:5, Col. 1:29
