3 Simple Steps - Proverbs 31 Online Bible Studies Living So That by Wendy Blight Blog Hop

3 Simple Steps I take to combat the flesh and feed the Spirit - after all Jesus did not just feed His flesh when He was in the desert for 40 days.  He told Satan that Man can not live by bread along and this is true.  The first thing I do is try to spend time in my Bible.  I have an Ipad and I absolutely adore the YouVersion Bible app.  It allows me to choose from an incredible amount of Bible study plans that fit my needs and interests.  Then it gives me the option to send myself reminders at a specific time of day to ensure I complete my reading plans. It also gives me the chance to catch up on my plan if I get behind.  I find this invaluable.  Also, if I find a plan is not what I thought it was I can stop the plan.  Also, I can share my progress on Twitter and Facebook - which allows me to share with my friends what I am reading.

Second, I try to spend time daily in prayer - and more than twice a day.  As I am going about my daily routine, I often find something or someone on my mind that I feel drawn to pray for and I don't worry about where I am at the time.  Also once a week, I try to attend our Salvation Army Corps' weekly prayer meeting along with my husband.  Now I have to admit sometimes life gets in the way!  Also, we try to have prayer with our family.

Finally, I spend as much time with like minded believers.  God's Word tells us this is a necessity.  We have to be around His people.  Almost every day of the week, we are involved in some activity(activities) at our Salvation Army Corps which is our church.  We reach out and try to become involved.  My husband and I both feel we have a calling from God to ministry work.  So we seek out and join in various activities - including what we call our League of Mercy - which involved visiting two local nursing homes/assisted living facilities once a month and helping with our soup kitchen once a month.

The biggest blessing I get from this is spending time with our family.  We homeschool our children, so most of the activities we do together. 

These are just three of the things I try to do to feed the Spirit.  God calls us to deepen our walk with Him.  We need to reach out in what ever ways He leads to accomplish this.  When we reach out to Him, He reaches back to us.  As we just celebrated Easter and the Resurrection, it reminds me of Romans 5:8, "But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
