Our lives consist of the many desires,needs cares and disappointments that form who we are,especially during our formative years.
After this we strive to understand who we are and what we should do with this life that we have been given by God. This is of course referring to those who believe in The God of Creation. Those who do not, lack the basic moorings necessary to achieve true joy and peace within their lifetimes. Very few that do not receive the Gift of Eternal Life when they are young, ever do so later in life. This unfortunately encompasses most of mankind. They have what is called a God shaped void within their soul that can only be filled by God Himself. People try to fill that spiritual void with every conceivable form of fulfillment including all things sinful which I will not try to enumerate at this time. Most people deep in their soul know what sin is. God has given all of us a
conscience that tells us that something is wrong. After a person suppresses these pangs of conscience over and over, their conscience becomes calloused and are no longer sensitive to their God given inner warning system. That is the way it is and no one can force an adult person to do what is right nor should they, apart from the criminal justice system. All we can do is witness to them and set an example of how we should behave and act like a
Christian should act, in their presence and pray for them
.
As for those who are true believers, we are to direct our focus onto The Lord of our Salvation and try our best to please Him through obedience which is empowered by the
Holy Spirit who dwells within us. We need to seek His perfect will for our lives on an individual basis. We need to ask The LORD to reveal to us how we are to use our
Spiritual Gifts for the edification of the
Body of Christ.I have the spiritual gift that is called "
Discerning of Spirits" which has been a very difficult gift to understand because it is a spiritual sight gift that has allowed, and does allow me to see things that the normal person or Christian can not see or recognise! I have seen demons and even the devil himself, when I was much younger and am able to recognise the spiritual condition of people, even those who wrongly call themselves Christians. What is your Gift or Gifts? How can we be sure what they are? It takes prayer and the study of God’s Word to discover our Gifts and then put them into practice with the Holy Spirit's assistance who gave them to you in the beginning of your relationship with your Savior, Jesus. It is Our Responsibility to have a personal relationship with our Lord and God and to do so on a daily basis, just as you would with a loved one such as your husband or wife. We are to feed on God's Word daily just as we would feed our bodies on a regular basis.
