Looking for God’s Will for You?

Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. Romans 12:2 NLT
 
When a person becomes a Christian—they change. Paul wrote to the church at Ephesus… Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from Him, throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy. Ephesians 4:21-24 NLT. That is just how we want to be…to live. In holiness.
 
But whatever comes out of the mouth comes from the heart, and this is what makes a man unclean and defiles [him]. For out of the heart come evil thoughts (reasonings and disputings and designs) such as murder, adultery, sexual vice, theft, false witnessing, slander, and irreverent speech.  These are what make a man unclean and defile [him]; but eating with unwashed hands does not make him unclean or defile [him]. Matthew 15:18-20 Amplified
 
As a man thinks in his heart, so he is. Proverbs 23:7. So how is your heart? Let the Holy Spirit change you—for the better…and look for God’s will for your life—to be pleasing and obedient to Him.
 
Prayer ~ Holy Spirit, refresh my heart, my mind, and my mouth, that all I think, say and do would be pleasing to You and help others to see that not all church goers are hypocrites.
