Bible Question:
Greetings Forum Participants: A recent post stated, " Nobody can prove being controlled by the Holy Spirit. But we have the written word to help mold us an shape us into a form which God will accept us." Is there Scriptural support for the assumptions in this post? Are these statements contrary to Scripture? So I would ask: 1. CAN we know if one is controlled by the Holy Spirit? 2. Does God's Word help mold and shape us into a form that is acceptable to God? The use of words is very important but Scripture is even more so! Please provide references for either one or both. Thanks for your help. Mommapbs |
Bible Answer: God truly can mold us and reshape us. He initially created us, and He can re-create us if we wants. He is the potter and we are the clay. We need to yield ourselves to His molding influences. He desires to continue the transformation work that He began within us. We are a work in progress. Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, [which is] your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. "Mold me and make me, after Thy will. Thou art the potter, I am the clay. While I am WAITING, YIELDED, and still." " You are the potter, I am the clay, mold me and make me, this is what I pray. Change my heart oh God, make it ever true. Change my heart oh God may I be like You." |
