@Pj Hill Well said. Thank you for your honesty…

As I was finishing this week’s study, this portion of the Day 20 scripture spoke directly to me: As obedient children, do not be conformed to the desires of your former ignorance. (1 Peter 1:14 CSB) … Two words jumping out: obedient & desires … I constantly wrestle with these two THINGS. I recognize that obedience to HIM is a gift that requires my heart to align. Therefore, I have to learn how to do that continually and correctly. That in itself is overwhelming since change in JESUS is constant for me. What has worked in the past could very well not work now. I know HE never changes, but I MUST change to conform to HIS image for me. I then monitor my success by observing my desires. By using these internal, private and personal testing points I begin to understand who I am, moment by moment. Nothing more clearly reveals my TRUE condition. Out of the abundance of my heart, my desires speak. Thank you for reminding me; AGAIN; that my pursuit of JESUS is to become as HE is…

Hey @Brianda Rodriguez it was good to see you join us Live!

Every day this week, I found something of great VALUE during this study. Below are the highlights… HIS Overwhelming Provision: The cross is both rescue and template. GOD’s sacrificial LOVE is the foundation. Everything else in discipleship is built on it. My Proper Choice: The cross is both the source and the pattern. We are saved by CHRIST’s sacrifice and then shaped by it. My Continual Challenge: Without the SPIRIT, sacrificial LOVE remains doctrine. With the SPIRIT, sacrificial LOVE becomes lived assurance. HIS Trustworthy Promise: Sacrificial LOVE does not guarantee the absence of hardship. It guarantees the presence of CHRIST through hardship. My ONLY Response: When people know they are secured by CHRIST’s sacrifice, they stop hiding and start growing. In Summary: The Holy SPIRIT’s role is indispensable here. HELP me LORD…

@Pj Hill thank you for the question. This is a quote from day 13 of this week’s study, so I’ll defer to @Chris Soloc as to the context within the study. However, I am happy to share what I have personally learned and applied during my journey with JESUS. Sin is part of this reality, and therefore I must deal with it within myself. My common reaction to the awareness of sin in me is consistent with Adam and Eve in the garden. Then YAHWEH-God called Adam’s name and asked, “Where are you? Adam answered, “I heard your powerful presence moving in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.” (Genesis 3:9-10 TPT) Hiding is the default response in this fallen, corrupt & corrosive environment. Another way to say this; it’s a consequence of the fall. So now, knowing this, I must choose to overcome this and allow change to enter me through the HOLY SPIRIT. If I remain in denial and hide from the truth, I will remain lost and broken. This is not FATHER‘s desire for us, just as it wasn’t for Adam and Eve. They were hiding and lost, and HE called to them. HE continues to call to us today and our response must be, here I am…

Yes and Amen❤️🙏🤝
