When you complete this lesson, you will…
- Be aware of the dynamic of transference of spirits and guard your heart that you may only give and receive from the Spirit of Christ.
- Live centered on Christ, that you may not respond to outward manifestations but, by the power of the Spirit, look upon the heart and meet the needs you see there.
- Watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of life! (Prov. 4:23 NASB)
Before you begin…
Our human tendency is to try to reduce the revelations we receive from the Spirit down into theological dogmas that we can use to evaluate and judge the spirituality of other people. How tragic it would be if that were the end result of what the Lord has shown to you! Only the One Who revealed the Truth to you can keep you in that Truth. Never ever forget to trust wholly in Him!
Lord, I draw near with a sincere heart, repentant and washed by the blood of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I set aside my thoughts, my reasoning, my theology, my fears and my pride. I relax, cease my own strivings, and tune to your flow within. Holy Spirit, I open my heart and mind to you. I ask that You anoint the eyes of my heart and enlighten my understanding. I ask that You grant me God’s thoughts, God’s pictures, God’s emotions and God’s creativity. Thank you for what you reveal, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
