All too Comfortable

The Lord ALL WEEK has been revealing to my heart how I really am so self-focused, without even realising it. And I'm not self-focused in big BIG ways, just smaller ways..... Like being too concerned for my own comfort. I would be willing to do things for other people, and I would do it with a good heart, but I wouldn't want to be uncomfortable. I know the LORD has changed me in that area.

I have been stretched this week in ways I never have been ever before, and I know it is for God's glory. My treasures in heaven are far more important anything on earth.

HUMILITY

My generation has so much pride, and the only way to get rid of that is hard CORE intercession.
I have been convicted of being self-focused and even though it was just a little I have been attatched to comforting items, like my bed and my home and my clothes...... I have learned that Jesus is really all I need. It is one thing to say that, but a whole other world to experience it.


This week Pastor Sean Nix was teaching a group of people about convictions, and how it is kinda like 3 different catagories:

1.Public convictions-Which would be like, the "right thing" to do, but you don't even do that, it's all talk.
2.Private convictions-Which are what you know you need to walk out your convictions, but your too concerned about other people.... Like you believe lying is bad, so you don't lie. But you don't stand for truth and your heart isn't in it...... It's religious

3. CORE convictions-(This one is changing the way I think) A core conviction is a conviction that you are willing to give all of yourself for. Example:

You're held at gunpoint and a man holding the gun asks you if you are a christian, and in the very core of your being you are a follower of Christ, you say yes and he pulls the trigger.



What are your CORE convictions? I really want to challenge you hard to examine your heart and ask the LORD to hit you hard and reveal to you if you are self-focused or prideful, I believe the enemy uses pride and selfishness against us more than anything and sometimes you don't know if it is there. Sit before the LORD and command heaven down and ask God SERIOUSLY to convict you. You want to be righteous and just before Him on judgement day, so it couldn't hurt.


Bless you guys!!
