FOLLOW THE SPIRIT OF GOD!
We are presented
With all kinds of CHOICES
In this crazy-
Mixed up world
I can think of no
BETTER CHOICE=in this world
Than to FOLLOW
The SPIRIT OF GOD=
Than to follow
The SPIRIT of Jesus
“You impose on people
BURDENS hard to carry=
But you yourselves
Do not lift one finger
To touch them” Luke 11:46
There is no more powerful
FORCE for evangelization
In this world
Than a FAITHFUL DISCIPLE
Laying down his or her own life
For others
The apostles did this in death=
But we can do this
IN LIFE
By FOLLOWING the Spirit
Of God=by
Following the Spirit of Jesus=
Going to or watching
CHURCH every day=
READING the bible every day=
PRAYING EVERY DAY
FOLLOW THE SPIRIT OF GOD!
“Do NOT FOLLOW the crowd
In doing wrong=
WHEN you give testimony
In a lawsuit-
Do not pervert justice=
By siding-with the crowd” Exodus 27:2
“When he has brought out
All his own-
He goes on ahead of them
And his sheep FOLLOW HIM
Because they know his voice” John 10:4
“FOLLOW the way of love=
And eagerly desire
Gifts of the Spirit=
Especially prophecy” 1 Corinthians 14:1
Saint Paul DIRECTS US
To follow a life
Of the Holy Spirit
A life by which CHRISTIANS-
Bear fruit=
EVIDENCED by kindness-patience-
Joy and generosity
And you don't have
To die=in order
To be a MARTYR=
You can GIVE YOUR LIFE
To God in life=and in LOVE
FOLLOW God=Follow Jesus
Give your life away
ELEVATE the human SPIRIT-
Elevate the human condition=
GIVE your life away
To the SPIRIT OF GOD
“But the FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT
Is love-joy-peace-forbearance-
Kindness-goodness-faithfulness-
Gentleness-and self-control” Galatians 5:22
Don't be a slave to life=
To your own selfish-desires=
Give yourself away to GOD=
Every day
FOLLOW THE SPIRIT OF GOD!
In Jesus' name=and in the name of GOD OUR FATHER=our holy-living-loving GOD
