Walk the talk.

Let's walk the talk. =) Wondering what is it about? Read on.

Well, it's about yesterday's cellgroup. When Zoe asked each of us to share, with the person beside, about what spoke to us during the message. So there I went, sharing with Benny, about the "familiar spirits". What I highlighted to him was something that's gotta do with feeling of the same burden, troubles & worries.

Quoting from Zoe, the familiar spirits will always know which button to press to "crash" us. In order to protect ourselves from such "crashes", we must be discerning. Remember that we have surrendered all to Jesus, we must not bear the burden upon ourselves again. It is by God's grace that we are set free.

These familiar spirits, can come in different forms. What I shared with Benny, I told him that his condition of the stomach would be the target where the familiar spirit will attack. It will, time and again, challenge and test his faith in God. If he succumbs to it, it will only hinder his walk with God.

In our daily lives, we must learn how to identify these spirits. Only this way, we'll be able to progress and go up to the next level. It'll come in different forms at different times, be it emotionally, physically, mentally and even spiritually. By successfully identifying them, we are then able to guard ourselves against it. Of course not depending on our own strength, but by God's instead. Pray strongly to build your "spiritual muscles". So, what's next?

Let's declare our faith in Christ! Okay, after this statement was made, something struck me. It was something that I recalled during the meeting with Bro. Darren at Riverwalk. By declaring, it means you should be vocal as well. Call upon the name of Jesus, show your desperation and desire for Him. Being vocal means we'll have to say it out in words. Say, "Jesus! I need You!" or "I love you Jesus! Fill me with your Spirit!"

Speak and mean it. Do not think of how others around you might think cos this is your own personal encounter and cry for God. Fight for it. =)

Receive God's strength to overcome these "familiar spirits". Receive forgiveness and grace and now, the moment you've been waiting for... Loose that area in your life! Whatever you bind on Earth shall be bound in Heaven, whatever you loose on Earth shall be loosed in Heaven. =)

Finale - Cast it out. Out of your life. Be strong and now, you've trained yourself up another level against these "familiar spirits".

Just wanted to share my personal realisation. By sharing, I've reinforced what I've learnt. Therefore, do share what spoke to you personally too, ok?

Have a blessed Sunday, my beloved w429 family. =)
