THE SPIRIT- FILLED LIFE

THE SPIRIT-FILLED LIFE IS A LIFE OF FAITH. IT STARTED BY FAITH AND IT RUNS ON FAITH. IT IS FAITH FROM START TO FINISH. WHEN IT COMES TO RIGHTEOUSNESS WHETHER FOR SALVATION OR FOR LIVING WE MUST ALLOW GOD TO DO THE WORK. IF NOT, WHAT A MESS WE COULD MAKE,OR WE DO MAKE. THE BIBLE NEVER MAKE A DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE FAITH THAT SAVED US FROM THE PENALTY OF SIN, ONCE AND FOR ALL AND THE FAITH THAT SAVES US FROM SIN, EVERY DAY.IT IS ALL THE SAME. SO WHAT IS FAITH? FAITH IS BELEIVING GOD WILL DO AS HE HAS PROMISED, FAITH IS NOT A POWER OR SOMETHING WE'RE SUPPOSED TO DRUM UP INSIDE OF OURSELVES.OH!! WHAT A MESS I WOULD HAVE! FAITH IS TRUSTING GOD WILL HONOR ALL HIS PROMISES. THATS ALL THERE IS TO IT. WE ARE TO GO ABOUT OUR LIVES MAKING DECISIONS,HANDLING CRISIS, RAISING OUR FAMILIES AND SO ON, AS IF GOD WILL REALLY DO WHAT HE SAID HE WOULD DO. [AND OF CORSE HE DOES]  THAT IS WHAT IT IS!!!!
