Can the Bible really affect how we think, and consequently how we act?
My definitive answer to that question is a resounding “Yes!” Psalm 119:105 says, “Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.”
Keep in mind that Mighty Wind Ministries’ baseline for identifying truth is the Jesus of the Bible. Also, it’s important to note that we believe God’s Word is infallible (incapable of making mistakes or being wrong) … and has the power to transform lives for all those who put their trust and faith in Jesus.
Psalm 119:9-11 says, “How can a young man keep his way pure? By keeping watch [on himself] according to Your word. With all my heart I have sought You; Do not let me wander from Your commandments [neither through ignorance nor by willful disobedience]. Your word I have treasured and stored in my heart, That I may not sin against You.”
I was 18-years old when I surrendered ownership of my life to the Lord, and I think it’s impossible to live out what the Scriptures teach us, without an awareness and a relationship with the Holy Spirit.
A good definition of what the companionship of the Holy Spirit living within each believer is, “The fellowship and the reality of His closeness with us 24/7.” It’s a unique relationship to say the least, and one we would do well to not take for granted, as His desire and His constant presence is to help us make wise decisions!
1 Peter 1:21-25 says, “Through Christ you have come to trust in God. And you have placed your faith and hope in God because he raised Christ from the dead and gave him great glory. You were cleansed from your sins when you obeyed the truth, so now you must show sincere love to each other as brothers and sisters. Love each other deeply with all your heart. For you have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God. As the Scriptures say, “People are like grass; their beauty is like a flower in the field. The grass withers and the flower fades. But the word of the Lord remains forever. And that word is the Good News that was preached to you.”
Psalm 51:10 says, “Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a right and steadfast spirit within me.”
May that be our prayer! May we pay attention to what’s within our control, and may we rely upon the greatest companion of all time Who is eager to guide and direct our steps throughout our lifetime.
God’s infallible words to us in Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take.”
