Quiet Time Takeaway:
Our self locks our hearts.
My Notes:
“Do I rely on The Spirit or myself?”
Valley of Vision
“Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves.”
2 Cor. 13:5
“Being filled with the Spirit means not being filled with the self-sins:
self-love,
self-pity,
self-seeking,
self-confidence,
self-righteous,
self-aggrandizement, self-defense,
self-centered,
selfish….”
“When I don’t open the door to my heart, it breaks Jesus’ heart, yet he stays outside my door knocking…”
Rev. 3:20 paraphrase
“When God brings us to a sudden stop…we realize we’ve been relying on self.”
O. Chambers
My Takeaway:
It is our ‘selves’ that lock the door to our heart – keeping The Spirit out.
