August 4, 2018 Our Daily Journey Devotional : Topic - Transforming a Heart

- ,
--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

Read: 

Galatians 5:1-25
The Holy Spirit produces . . . love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23).
I overheard someone speaking harshly to another. Though their comments weren’t directed at me, I considered intervening. To guard against the temptation to speak to the offender in an equally unedifying manner, I began repeating in my head: “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, self-control . . . ” In this provoking situation, the Spirit’s power helped me to remain calm and keep a tight rein on my tongue.

As we journey through life, we’re consistently confronted with challenges, difficult personalities, and conflicting opinions. Such complexities could easily prompt us to react from our old nature (Galatians 5:16)—with “hostility, quarrelling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension” (Galatians 5:20). For our natural, sinful nature wants to do “just the opposite of what the Spirit wants” (Galatians 5:17).
When we fail to grasp that Jesus secured our redemption and that the Holy Spirit applies that redemption to our lives, we’re prone to merely gratify our selfish desires rather than “walk by the Spirit” (Galatians 5:16 NIV). But as we resist doing what our old nature craves and instead let the Holy Spirit guide us into our new life in Him, we will recognize this biblical truth unfolding in our lives: God through the Spirit replacing our “stony, stubborn heart” with a “tender, responsive heart” (Ezekiel 36:26). For, as Paul described it, “those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there” (Galatians 5:24).
If “we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives” (Galatians 5:25). As we do, we’ll yield good fruit—the fruit of the Spirit—and through our lives point to Christ.
NLT 365-day reading plan passage for today: Luke 11:33-54
