Positive Quote for the Week: Are you Shining the Light of Christ?

“Are the characteristics that you display on a daily basis radiating the light of Christ?” Erica Willis

If you are a true believer of the Lord Jesus Christ you will be partnered with the Holy Spirit. What that means is that the free Gift (Holy Spirit) that the Lord has given to us will lead you, guide you, convict you, and teach you the way that you should live according to God’s Word. When you allow the Spirit of God to have full reign in your life you will naturally become His light in the middle of darkness.

Your thought process and the way that you handle situations should be completely different than someone that does not believe in Christ Jesus. How is that possible? The more time you spend with the Lord, with the Holy Spirit, and in His Word the more your heart and mind will completely transform, Romans 12:2. We are in the world but not of the world, John 17:16. In order for that transformation to take place we have to allow the Holy Spirit to do the work in us. He is our powerful and unique Weapon!

So what characteristics are contrary to the Spirit of God? Ephesians 4:30-31 tells us, “And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.” The Apostle Paul is giving us the simple understanding of the things that will grieve or sadden the Holy Spirit. So, when you feel yourself showing any of these kinds of unfavorable characteristics, know that they are upsetting the Lord.

You have to keep your light shining as bright as you possibly can which means preventing the enemy from provoking you into getting so upset that you get yourself out of character. It is not worth it! The Holy Spirit will give you that check letting you know that the way that you are acting is wrong and needs to be adjusted, but is it up to you whether or not you will listen and correct it!
