Exchange your self-focus and religion for a Spirit-led relationship with Christ. Powerful results come from ongoing obedient surrender to God the Holy Spirit. (Acts 1:8 and Galatians 5:22-23) Weak results come from religious self-effort.
The Bible is God’s lens. It will focus your attention on the risen Jesus if you read it with an open humble heart, talk about it, and ponder it day and night. (Joshua 1:8) In the Bible Christianity is presented as a Spirit-led lifestyle. (Romans 8:14) Christians are called followers of the Way. (Acts 9:2)
Jesus is the Way. (John 14:6) To seek the kingdom of God (Matthew 6:33) fight to make your every thought obey King Jesus. (2 Corinthians 10:5) Forcefully expel from your mind every thought that’s disobedient to Christ.
“Christ in you, the hope of glory,” (Colossians 1:27) (God the Holy Spirit) can’t be trapped by religious tradition. He can’t be captured by, contained by, or controlled by any organization. For genuine spiritual growth, it’s essential that you quit trying to do things your way. (Luke 9:23) Instead learn to personally listen to and obey “Christ in you” and follow His Way throughout each day.
