30 Day Spiritually Fit Bible Challenge—DAY 5



Bible Reference:

1 Timothy 4:6-11

A Good Servant of Jesus Christ
If you instruct the brethren in these things, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished in the words of faith and of the good doctrine which you have carefully followed. But reject profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise yourself toward godliness. For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come. This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance. 10 For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach,[a] because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe. 11 These things command and teach.

This is day 5 of our wonderful journey through the Word, you can find previous posts here. Walking in the spirit takes effort, takes time, and takes diligence, but God is ever there drawing us near. Will we draw near to him today?

How often to I get caught up in the flesh? How easy it is to forget in our natural mind to walk in the spirit? It’s a battle raging in our minds, but we shall overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the Word, AMEN! Fits of anger, jealousy, strife, and the like shall cease in the spirit and manifest in the flesh through the cleansing and washing of the WORD. Let’s eat shall we!

#1

John 15:3

New International Version (NIV)
You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.
We are cleansed by the word!

#2

Acts 20:32

New International Version (NIV)
32 “Now I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
The word builds you up and opens the door to your inheritance with the saints.

#3

Romans 10:17

New International Version (NIV)
17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.
The word increases faith.

#4

1 Corinthians 15:2

New International Version (NIV)
By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
We need to hold firmly and stand fast in the word.

#5

Ephesians 1:13

New International Version (NIV)
13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit
Hearing the word brings about salvation.

Philippians 4:8


New International Version (NIV)

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
Walk in the Spirit,

Prophetess Deanna Mack
