Title: Me or the Holy Spirit
Tags:
Blog Entry: Many times in our efforts to be Christ like we attempt a work that we are not called to do. Jesus has called us to be witnesses while the work of changing lives is to be left to the Holy Spirit. Often the very act of getting someone to change is nothing more than an effort to make a clone of oneself. When we let go and step back allowing the Holy Spirit to magnify Christ then change can occur and only then will it be a Holy work. If I or anyone else changes an individual it is only the white washing of a tomb. It becomes a mask that lead a soul to death and not life. It is still bondage and their is no freedom there. Anyone propogating this type of lifestyle will be held in judgment for this type of action. We are not to make follower of ourselves but Christ and Christ alone. If we will allow the Holy Spirit to do His work then we will see treasure in earthen vessels fit for the Masters use. If we will walk in the Spirit we will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. An attempt for me to change someone to be like me is nothing more than lust.
