Are you a born-again Christian? Or are you still under the dominion of Satan? Who is ruling your heart and your life right now? Are you a new citizen of the Kingdom of heaven, or are you still a slave of the kingdom of darkness? Is God your Father or Satan your master?
Are you a sinner saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus? Or are you still very proud of your own self-righteousness and good works, thinking that if I would try to do just one more good thing then God would look upon me favorably? Where are you heading toward right now? What will your eternity be like, with God or without God?
Have you had God’s power operated in you to help you live a victorious Christian life, or are you still struggling in your own strength to rise above mediocrity everyday? What are you focusing right now? On God or man? On heavenly things or earthly things? Are you just thinking of yourself all the time or are you thinking of others? Are you thinking of yourself less or less of yourself?
Are you still in Egypt being slaved to sin? Or are you getting out on your way in the wilderness wandering, wanting to go back into slavery so you will have something familiar like cucumbers, slave food that satisfied the desire of the flesh? Or are you marching forward into the Promised Land, crossing the Red Sea and the Jordan River?
Are you full of faith or full of fear? Do you only see the giants in the land or do you see Almighty God fighting the battles for you? Are you hiding sin under your tent and is about to be destroyed by your rebellion or are you willing to get rid of things that burden you down in your daily walk with God?
Are you full of God’s wisdom or man’s wisdom? Are you led by the Spirit of God? Is He manifesting His power in you destroying the works of the devil? (I John 3:8b)
Scripture is very clear, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Are you a born again Christian? You are. Great. Are you satisfied with where you are in your spiritual walk right now with God? No. Or are you glad just to be saved; or are you still pretending, kidding yourself thinking in your mind that by you saying just the right formula, doing just enough to get by hoping one day when this life is over, God will give you just a plain and simple ticket to heaven?
Being born again is just a beginning. Great things are to come to you. Get the full package! Be filled with the Holy Spirit. Be continually filled with the Holy Ghost.
You are kidding yourself when you pretend to be somebody else that you are not. God sees the heart of man. God sees your heart right now. He knows exactly where you are and what you really need to live a victorious life. You are either one of God’s children, or you are not. Period.
If you are serious, you will answer yes to God and no to Satan. Your answers to these questions will help you evaluate where you are right now in your walk with God. I pray that you will not miss out God’s plan for your life. Be drunk with “the Holy Spirit”. Be filled with God’s Spirit.
The number one thing to do to make sure right now is to give your heart to Jesus and invite Him to come inside of you to be your Lord and Savior. There is no sweeter or greater thing to know that you know you are God’s children as the seal of the Holy Spirit is placed upon your heart.
The second thing is to make sure that you are baptized by the Holy Spirit and to walk in His power and to do His will just like Jesus did.
Will you humbly seek God and let His presence, His gifts and His power daily be manifested in you and through you as you seek to obey God’s Word at any cost? He will be with you to show you the truth and guide you every step of the way as you surrender totally to the Holy Spirit.
What a blessed life to live, a born-again, Spirit-filled, Spirit-led life!
