Activity: Prayer is power.
For the next 2 Weeks – Spend time in fellowship with God, and in no way rush Him. However, let Him know, from the earnest of your heart, every morning that you want Him to keep you sinless that day.
Day 6
One thing that my experience with the Lord has taught me is to obey my conscience. Many times the Holy Ghost will speak to you through your conscience, giving you promptings and nudges to do or not to do things – honor those. Remember we learned from the first day of this challenge that it is by the power of the Holy Ghost, that we are kept sinless. We have to allow Him to keep us. We do that by obeying His conscience and recognizing that every prompting to our conscience is a part of that keeping process.
Consider this: You are at work and God prompts you to pray for your co-worker. You have never really been friends so you feel like it would be weird. Nevertheless, the Lord didn’t stutter. So you find a way to convince yourself that it won’t be that bad if you do not pray for her - ultimately you end up not praying for her. What you have to understand with this is that God had been honoring your prayer to be kept. He was keeping you; not by your might, nor by your power, but by His Spirit. However, when His Spirit spoke to you, you reverted to your might, by doing things your way. You took over the reins. Thus, from that point, God was no longer in control, you were. So, in continuing, you will notice that your fellowship with the Lord is not the same. You no longer have the power to be kept.
Be attentive to your conscience and the things the Lord says to your conscience. I said that the Lord will keep you if you want to be kept. Disobeying your conscience is proof that you do not want to be kept. Honor the Lord today, and watch Him marvel you.
