“My voice shall You hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto You, and will look up”. (Psalm 5:3)
Remember, there are two places where men will spend eternity: One is heaven with the Lord; the other is the lake of fire with - well you know.
Two principles apply to our spiritual growth. First, It is important to understand where we are in our relationship to Christ; and Secondly, Where He wants to lead us.
The following seven stages of spiritual development may help you discover where your current walk with Christ is and His plan for your future walk:
1. Unbelief – God is not a part of our lives.
2. Salvation – Christ enters our lives through faith in His atoning cross.
3. Service – We work for God b because of what He did for us.
4. Frustrated inadequacy – Our service is not fulfilling but frustrating.
5. Spiritual dependency – We come to trusts in His power to work through us.
6. Emotional surgery – We open up our minds, emotions, and thoughts for God to heal and restore.
7. Complete in Christ – He is our life – regardless of circumstances. We are content, satisfied in His indwelling presence. Our frail life exchanged for His all-sufficient life.
Where would you place yourself? God’s goal is that you become complete in Him – trusting and relying on Christ to impart all that you will ever need. Anchor yourself in Christ.
