DO YOU HAVE A CONNECTION AND COMMITMENT TO THE HOLY SPIRIT? IF NOT THIS BLOG WILL HELP YOU LIVE IN, FOR, BY AND WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT SO YOU CAN HAVE A VITAL LINK TO JESUS CHRIST.
I am cleansing you constantly through your praise and prayers and silent time with me. You now know the more of you that you give me the more of you I want. This cleansing, this conversion does not stop until you have become one with me in thought, word, and deed. This cleansing does not stop until you have totally died to self and have become fully in me in thought word and deed. In me, you shall live forever.
Dr. Don’s Reflection
In this Whisper, the Holy Spirit is making it clear that my walk with Christ is a cleansing process. And through prayer, praise, and meditation the Lord is cleaning me up, changing me forever. I can feel that process happening, I mean physically and spiritually, I can feel the Lord working in me and on me. The more time I spend alone with Him, the more He wants and the more I want too.
I love my prayer time with God for through the Holy Spirit He speaks to me and converts my very being. I feel as if it is a process that will not stop until I become like Christ and to do that I need to die to my “self.” I am OK with that. I want to die so that Christ can be born in me. This means my thoughts; words and deeds will be of Christ, pure, peaceful and loving. I have come a long way from when I got the call from Christ and I still have a long way to go. I am reminded of that each day when I think wrongly of someone or I become angry or engage in some other Un-Christ like behavior.
In my prayer time, the Holy Spirit will say to me, “what do you need from me today and I reply to take a piece of my “self”. I don’t care what piece you take. It could be a piece of my selfishness, greed, lust, my judging ways, I really don’t care, as long as a piece of me dies today. It can be a small or big piece, as long as, it is a piece of something that will help me die to my “self”. You choose dear Lord.
I know what I am and what I have been so I am willing to die to self. I welcome it, although I must say it is not easy because I like things my way. When you are walking with the Lord it is on his paths and not yours. For me to die to my “self”, I have to hand control my “self”, my total life over to God. I am here to tell you that is not easy and it is a process. One that will last a lifetime and maybe beyond for all I know.

When you walk with the Lord at some point you will get sick of trying to control him and your life, as well. Yes, most of us like to walk with God but we want to set the path on which we want to walk. That is usually our approach in loving and living with the Lord, that is, “Dear Lord, I love you as long as my will be done.” At what point do we say “thy will be done.”
Have you been trying to control God? Is everything OK with you and the Lord as long as things are going your way? At some point, you realize that God is cleansing you and purifying you with the Holy Spirit for one reason, and that is so you can die and he can live. That is the cleansing process which leads us to the conversion we must go through.
Open your spiritual life to being cleaned and converted so that Christ maybe not only in you but be you. And in doing so you shall live forever.
