It reminds us that even though we often idolize those we read in the scriptures, that they were indeed human and we are able to begin to obey God just as all did that we read about!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Luke 14:26-27<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[<strong>26<\/strong>] If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.<br \/>\n[<strong>27<\/strong>] And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.<\/p>\n<p>There are many times that we think that conviction only bears the purpose of bringing others to Christ; however, it goes much further than that if you allow it to. It can begin to show you every single day things that need to begin to change in your life. The big things, the small things, all the things that are a hindrance in your walk with God!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Psalms 51:4<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[<strong>4<\/strong>] Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.<\/p>\n<p>When we allow it to happen, the spirit of God will begin to produce conviction through our willingness to listen. It allows us to draw closer by removing all the parts of our lives that seem so hard to deal with. It separates us from sin, delivers us from temptations, and doesn\u2019t allow the enemy to win the mental battles that are so often won without as much as a fight!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Luke 22:31 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[<strong>31<\/strong>] And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:<\/p>\n<p><strong>John 15:20<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[<strong>20<\/strong>] Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.<\/p>\n<p>We have to learn to follow the leadership of God when He begins to speak to us, to be careful to hear and follow what is instructed. After hearing what we do, we must BEGIN to follow through on that. We must not wait! We have to begin to move forward and remember that as we read that \u201cIf they have persecuted me\u201d (being Jesus) that you will face sufferings, but through Christ you will come out victorious!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Psalms 51:10<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[<strong>10<\/strong>] Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.<\/p>\n<p>Conviction should produce contrition. It should make me begin to cry out to God in a brand new way. I should learn to acknowledge my problems and shortcomings, for God knows far more about our lives; the present day and far ahead of what we can even begin to comprehend!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Luke 22:32<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[<strong>32<\/strong>] But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.<\/p>\n<p>Conviction should produce confidence to help others! The body of Christ when in a stable established walk with God should get to a place where you are able for people to bear of the fruits of the Spirit of you (peace, joy and love). If we are bringing everything else of the world, they cannot be drawn by that, and people cannot be changed and walk in a new person, a new creature.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Galatians 1:16<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[<strong>16<\/strong>] To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImmediately I conferred not with flesh and blood\u201d tells me not to lean on my own understanding, but to learn to trust the spirit of God. It will not fail you or forsake you. That\u2019s the only thing that will prove to be consistent in your life AND in your churches of today. A spiritual church is an active church. A non-spiritual church is a church not performing in outreach, but simply performing. People need help and need us to follow conviction once more!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Acts 8:22<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[<strong>22<\/strong>] Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Matthew 19:21<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[<strong>21<\/strong>] Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.Come and follow me<\/p>\n<p>We have to learn to heed to the voice and command to move to what the spirit would want us to do. People need to hear from our experiences and words that are given, for that is life to others. We often question that, but if we surrender and come willing God will prove Himself true and people will be changed! You can guarantee it!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Luke 22:54-62<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[<strong>54<\/strong>] Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest&#8217;s house. And Peter followed afar off.<br \/>\n[<strong>55<\/strong>] And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them.<br \/>\n[<strong>56<\/strong>] But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.<br \/>\n[<strong>57<\/strong>] And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.<br \/>\n[<strong>58<\/strong>] And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.<br \/>\n[<strong>59<\/strong>] And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean.<br \/>\n[<strong>60<\/strong>] And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.<br \/>\n[<strong>61<\/strong>] And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.<br \/>\n[<strong>62<\/strong>] And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.<\/p>\n<p>This was a result of conviction in Peter, but this was not the end of Peter. Remember to walk in the confidence that Jesus spoke about that \u201cupon this rock I will build my church\u201d. Jesus was talking about the part of the person that believes. Let that part of you be strong!<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Click Here To Listen To The Audio \u201cSimon\u201d comes from the greek interpretation meaning hearing. \u201cPeter\u201d comes from an Aramaic term for rock.
