Life in the Holy Spirit

2/2/2022

 
Dear friends, 

I was thinking how we can take care for our body, mind, and soul, as I always put myself behind others. However, after having two sermons over body, mind, and soul, I think that most of the time we think that oh, we cannot help what our mind will think, heart will feel, or our soul will follow? But we are wrong to think in this way that we cannot control our body, heart, and mind. The mind is governed by the Spirit, life and peace. You either give your mind over to the control of the world, external influences, and circumstances, or you give it over to the control of the Holy Spirit.

What would a life like that look like? Well, imagine not being so fearful anymore, just moving on and giving everything into God’s hand. Imagine facing financial difficulties, rejection, and obstacles without giving in to discouragement. Imagine acknowledging the mistakes you’ve made in the past but moving confidently into the future. Most of the time we are stuck, or I would think that Satan put this in our hearts and tried to give us that low esteem, low mood, and the spirit of fear and timidity. Which looks like you are still making mistakes.
But the Bible tells us in 2 Timothy 1:7 “For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.”

If I give attention to this thought, then I am going to give my mind control over me and my body. Instead of letting my mind control me I give my mind to the Holy Spirit.
I believe that no one is perfect and we in this body can never be perfect therefore, dear friends don’t let Satan steal your joy and rebuke Satan and be happy with your healthy mind, body and spirit and love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.
May God set you free from the spirit of restlessness and strive; in Jesus’ mighty name I pray! God bless you.
​
With lots of love and blessings. 

Rev Kathreen Shahbaz
