On a different note...
Conviction has such a strong sentiment based on your views, experiences, and spiritual maturity. Scripture speaks of our conscience, our spirit, and it helping us navigate this world we live. So, conviction is the working of our spirit in our lives, helping to lead us down a better path.
Conviction:
"The act of moving a person by argument or evidence to belief, agreement, consent, or a course of action. Firm belief"
When we are shown the err of our ways, we should be taking action. The act of sanctification is the growing, prospering, and altering of our carnal nature towards one of righteousness. Now please do not take this too much out of context, as we will never be perfect, and we should not carry the weight of being perfect. This is not the goal of our conviction. We should be seeking to grow, seeking to be better than we were before. We are selfish by nature, so it takes reminders, focus, and effort to put our eyes on the Lord and those around us. This is the goal... to take our eyes off "ME, Me, me" and put our life to use for the good of all those within our reach!!
Sorry I got so deep today, but I write what I am led to do. This message is for me, as well as the body. We are carnal and faulty by nature,. so we must recognize that and look to push through in order to be fruitful, prosperous, and to feel fulfillment!
If all you do is focus on You, Your dreams, Your wishes, Your needs, then You will never feel true love, sincere fulfillment, or the success of lifting others up to victory.
So, the next time You get a nudge from your spirit, stop and smell the roses... it will help Us grow and to truly enjoy the blessings that are happening around us all the time!!
Good day & God Bless,
Chris
