Feed on Christ

He that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

John 6:57 (KJV)

     To feed on Christ is to get His strength into us to be our strength. You feed on the corn field, and the strength of the corn field comes into you, and is your strength. You feed on Christ, and then go and live your life; and it is Christ in you that lives your life, that helps the poor, that tells the truth, that fights the battles, and that wins the crown.—Phillips Brooks

How Cultivate an Ear that Hears God

“Supplements can’t work without the basics: milk, meat, and bread.”—Pastor Ed Sherrill, Jan. 15^th 2012, Hearing from God #3, How to Cultivate a Hearing Ear

Feelings often Lie

   Your feelings often lie to you. You may feel discouraged or defeated, but you serve a God who is all powerful, ever victorious, and eternally loving. Look to the Lord for your strength, don't focus on the circumstances or feelings that are getting you down--that's what the Enemy wants you to do. Instead, like Paul, learn to delight in suffering for the Master and in being weak because then even more of His strength will be shown through you.

“But you, be strong and do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded.”

–2 Chronicles 15:7 NKJV

Feeding your Spirit

Feeding your Spirit and the Transformation of your Soul

 

   Remember to feed yourself and to grow in your personal study and devotions in the Scriptures. If you stop maintaining this discipline your life will become a series of spiritual duties: preparing sermons and fulfilling your responsibilities in your own strength and you are likely to miss the Lord’s heart—trust me, too many ministers have lost the flame of God in their hearts because they have not maintained their spiritual, devotional lives with the Lord (Rom 12:11). Stir up the gift that is within thee, never be lacking in zeal, and be fervent in spirit!
