prayer and obedience

[AgapeBible]

I realize I need to knead the dough of the bread of life, first get rid of the yeast of sin, worldliness, selfishness and pride. When I get on my knees, the dough is kneaded, I fellowship with my Lord and enjoy the wine of his blood and the bread of his flesh. I am refreshed by living water from the wellspring of life. I know the Lord hears my prayers, he listens to every word and I trust His Word, His words are life and spirit.

Now the problem is I know what to do, but putting it into practice is hard. There is nothing to do but discipline myself. Jesus Christ called His twelve followers 'disciples' I am wondering if disciple comes from the word for discipline. I need to learn obedience, quit trusting in my human nature and reasoning, and trust my Lord God's spiritual wisdom and reasoning. It's hard to trust in the spirit, but with reading scripture and trusting in the Holy Spirit i can do this. God loves me, "I can do all things in Christ through strengthens me."

God’s blessings in your relationship with the Lord

 

[LoricaLady]

You say you need to knead the dough and discipline yourself. Such efforts can be affective for comparatively minor problems. However, if what you are talking about involves strongholds, they will not work.

The Bible says that the battle is the Lords. If we continue in sin, even in relatively less awful things like, say, smoking or watching wrong things on TV, then as the Bible also says we become a slave to sin. Then we no longer have the ability to pull herself out of the problem.

But Messiah came to set the captives free. I pray you will not try, but rely. I pray you will cast your cares on him and let go so that he can do what no person can ever do.
