Spiritual Work-Out (Part 2) Exercises to help us stretch and build muscle: 1. The Word 2 Timothy 3:14-17 14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, 15 and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. The Word of God is designed to build up and strengthen every area of your spiritual life! The Word of God is like this 5-star, hooked up gym with every machine necessary to get you to burn the calories, to shed the fat, to tone, to sculpt, to shape you! Its open 24 hours and the best part is its free!!! You already have the membership, its all available to you! But what good is it if you never ever sit at a single machine and dedicate time to allow it to work you in the necessary areas? The Word of God works exactly the same way! It requires dedication and it requires consistency. Just like you wont see results going to the gym once a month, or worse, once a year; dont expect to see results if your bible is buried somewhere (or you dont take advantage of your bible app), or youre not actively involved in a bible-teaching environment. You need to spend time in it! Results may not be immediate, but each truth, each word of encouragement, each teaching will begin preparing your spirit to grow stronger each day! But you should know...it is impossible to take full advantage of the benefits of the Word of God if you dont have the right instructor and trainer with you guiding you. Many people get frustrated and may even get injured if they dont know how to use a machine properly. I know I would! The same way that many get frustrated and disappointed when they just cant get the hang of reading the Word cause it seems too complicated. Invite the Holy Spirit to accompany you and guide you through every session! Let Him direct your focus toward the urgent areas, to use a specific Word to challenge you, even if it hurts or if its uncomfortable. He knows best so follow the professional and without a doubt you will begin experiencing and seeing results! Better yet, others will notice!!! Because its all through Him, not your own strength or knowledge or abilities! Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the LORD Almighty. Zechariah 4:6 I am free youtu.be/aEcV7x-kMoo
