Greater Grace Notes from 4/13 on Spirit Filling

Some notes from this morning's church service:
Ezekiel 36:26 - He gives us a new heart and a new spririt.
A believer can have a stony heart. Hebrews 3:8 says do not harden your heart. In verse 10 we grieve Him with our erring hearts. In Jjeemiah 7:5-9 it speaks of a deceitful heart.
But He gave us a new spirit and a new heart.

2 Peter 1:4 Divine power is given unto us. This is theantric action (from theos = God and anthropos = man). In John 15 He is the vine and we are the branches. The new heart and the new spirit know the ways of God. We were raised form the dead in Him. He didn't just fix our hearts. He gave us new ones. We are new creatures (2 Corinthians 5:17).

1 Corinthians 2:14-15, 3:1. Types of people:
1) The natural (soulish)
2) The spritual (knows all things as God reveals 1 John 2:20)
3) The carnal (fleshly, not currently operating in the spirit or partaking of divine nature in his experience).

Ephesians 5:18 Be filled with The Spirit.
Luke 24:49 and Acts 1:8. The spirit comes upon us. Although we already have The Holy Spirit, in an annointing we can feel Him as He comes upon us.
1 Corinthians 12:13 Drinking in the spirit

Let God enlarge your heart. Don't have a heart that's like a little prune. Let Him regenerate, annoint, empower, and fill you.

Social Media Fast Day 1/2 I have been considering a social media fast.  Unbeknownst to me, someone I know was on a week long fast. She reported about how beneficial it was and I took that as a confirmation that this was the time for me. September 1 sneaked up on me and I had some commitments for posting some prayer requests, but once that was done, I uninstalled Facebook (my primary Social Media) form my phone. I can pretty well ignore Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, LinkedIn and the like but Facebook is my constant itch that I have to keep scratching. I came to the realization that I primarily use Facebook to feed my desire for approbation.  Don't we all want to be admired and respected?  Don't we often want to be right, to have a forum where others are agreeing with our brilliance?  LOL I'm guilty. I also realize the other downside of social media for me and that's all the political vitriol.  As much as I don't get sucked into it, as much as I scroll past...

Choosing The Better Things - Women's Bible Study 9/21/17

As we studied the "whatsoever things" of Philippians 4, we covered things that we choose to think on.  As we make volitional choices in our lives, there are often "better things" that we find in God's Word. Here are some of them. Our Better Choices   Luke 10:41-42 New International Version (NIV) 41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed—or indeed only one.[ a ]Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”   Our Priorities   1 Samuel 15:22King James Version (KJV) 22 And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. Our responses   Psalm 84:10 Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the ho...
