Shalom,

Here is another "Faith Food" devotional by Kenneth E. Hagin.

Spiritual Growth

That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ. — EPHESIANS 4:14-15

If it is true that the spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, and if it is also true that God will enlighten and guide us through our spirits — and it is — then that part of us needs to grow. The spirit of man needs to be developed so it can be a safer guide.

Your spirit can be educated and trained, just as your mind can be educated.

And your spirit can be built up in strength, just as your body can be built up in strength.

I am well convinced that if you will follow the steps I will give over the next few days, you can train your spirit to the point where eventually you will always get an instant “yes” or “no” on the inside, even in the minor details of life.

You must realize this, though: You didn’t start the first grade one day and graduate from high school the next day. It took time to develop your mentality. It also will take time to train, educate, and develop your spirit.

Confession: I will take the time to train, educate, and develop my spirit. My spirit is growing!

AMEN! Let's make it our determined purpose to GROW in the things of GOD! One of the first steps in growing up is to be continually grateful for all that HE has done for us! Here is Brandon Lake with "Gratitude":

Shalom in Him!
