Seized By The Spirit

Posted on February 26, 2012 by Fr. Jos+

Seized By The Spirit

As you awaken into the fullness of this day, allow the Spirit of God to seize you. This would mean that you are aware of the moments of this day where the Spirit of God could lead you into different actions than you would otherwise do. Jesus was seized by the Spirit on a regular basis. His day became full by the events of the Spirit rather than the choices of a human. He was open to the inner voice that guided him through to the evening hours of the night.

When seized by the Spirit, we are never unable to fulfill the demands of daily life, no matter how hard it might feel like. There will be a joy that is beyond your control that strengthens you to accept, adapt and change to the growing need of someone around you. It is only when you are seized by the Spirit you can be seized by God.

Action Plan: Take a three minutes of reflection this morning, consciously wondering, what other options are available to me this day to be a bette person? What choices will I be left with as the day progresses into the evening? Allow the Spirit to seize you through the moment by taking short breaks to let this Spirit be present to you.

Happy and Blessed Day
Fr. Jos+

True Religion

What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? - Micah 6: 8 (The New Revised Standard Version)

Right Worship

Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. That's the kind of people the Father is out looking for: those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship. - John 4: 24 (The Message Bible)

Living Faith

What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but do not have works?... If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and eat your fill,” and yet you do not supply their bodily needs, what is the good of that? - James 2: 14-16 (NRSV)
