Be Equipped by God's Word

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man ( woman) of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.  
2 Timothy 3:16-17

The word of God is our instruction. When a child can't figure out how a new toy works, what do we ask them?..." Did you read the instructions?" Only to find the instructions tossed to the side while they try to figure it out themselves! This situation ends in frustration. How do we approach the circumstances and struggles of our lives? We can't toss our instruction manual (Bible) to the side, do things our own way, and expect our lives to prosper. We need to take in the word daily,and walk in the instructions of our Lord. Be encouraged and equipped by the word of God today!

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. I have sworn and confirmed that I will keep Your righteous judgments. I am afflicted very much; Revive me, O Lord, according to Word. Psalm 119:105-107

The out pouring of the Holy Spirit Promised

All over in scripture God promises us the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

Surely I will pour out my Spirit on you; I will make My words known to you. Proverbs 1:23

And I will not hide My face from them anymore; for I shall have poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel, says the Lord God. Ezekiel 39:29

I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
Matthew 3:11

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!
Luke 11:13

And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever. John 14:6

But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you: and you shall be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and to the end of the earth. Acts 1:8

The Christian life is difficult to live with out the empowering of the Holy Spirit. Is life bland for you? Is your attitude about the things of God mediocre? Is everything a struggle and seems like you can't do it on your own? Well, we can do nothing apart from Jesus and His Spirit. You need the out pouring of the Holy Spirit in your life.

Do you desire the out pouring of the Holy Spirit in your life? Ask and it shall be given you, seek and you shall find, knock and it will be opened to you.
Luke 11:9

Be Watered

    But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper. Psalm 1:2-3

The Word of God is so important in our lives as women. We need to be encouraged in the word daily to walk in the things Jesus is asking us to walk through. There are so many things that press into our lives that can distract us and take us away from what Jesus has for us. 

When we are in His word daily we are promised to be like a tree that is planted by the rivers of water. Those trees planted by the rivers are healthy, strong trees that are watered constantly. They take in all the nutrients they need well because they are watered all the time. The Word of God is our nutrients we need daily to be able to grow and be strengthened. We will produce much fruit in our lives as we are washed in the water of the Word!! We will also not wither when the trials come into our lives because we are grounded in His truth!!! We will also prosper in the things the Lord is calling us to walk through because we are seeking Him to find what he desires in our lives.

Be encouraged as you meditate on His Word day and night!!!

Encouragement

Hey ladies,

I would like to encourage you to read a book by K.P. Yohannan called Reflecting His Image.

This has been an awesome encouraging book recently in my life. He drives you to really look at your walk with the Lord and what motivations you are having in your walk with Jesus.
You can get this book as an ebook or buy it on the Gospel for Asia website.
