Dear saints, let us pray that those who follow the Lord to be job-dropping full-timers would serve with their whole being — their body presented, their mind renewed, and their spirit burning (Rom. 12:1-2, 11). In the church in Los Angeles there are brothers and sisters from many different races. In such a church the […]
Let’s pray for the job-dropping full-timers to serve by presenting their whole being for the service
Exercising our Spirit of Faith to have a Strong Spirit and Serve in Newness of Spirit
![2 Tim. 4:22 The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.](https://i0.wp.com/agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/2-Tim.-4-22-The-Lord-be-with-your-spirit.-Grace-be-with-you.jpg?fit=300%2C157&ssl=1)
As those who have been regenerated by the Lord in our spirit and who have a heart to serve the Lord in the church, we need to have a loving heart and a powerful spirit, a strong spirit, an exercised spirit. The heart and the spirit of a serving one is more important to the […]
Not Quenching the Spirit but Fanning our Spirit into Flame to Serve God with Divine Fire
![1 Thes. 5:19 Do not quench the Spirit.](https://i0.wp.com/agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/1-Thes-5-19-Do-not-quench-the-Spirit3.jpg?fit=200%2C300&ssl=1)
If we love God, offer ourselves to God, and are willing to forsake everything for God, placing ourselves in His hand in order to be broken, He as the divine fire will be burning in us to motivate us and energize us to serve Him by fanning our spirit into flame. The history of the […]
Offering Ourselves to God for His Fire to Burn in us and Motivate us for His Service
![If we offer ourselves to God sincerely, fire will descend from heaven and burn us; this burning will become the energy that moves us, and the issue of this burning will be our service.

All the service that we as believers in Christ offer to God should be based on the fire that comes from God; we need to be those who are offering ourselves to God for His fire to burn in us and energize us to serve Him. In the Old Testament all the service of the priests […]
We Serve God in Worship by Preaching the Gospel of God’s Son in our Mingled Spirit
![Christ and the Spirit are with the believers in their regenerated human spirit (2 Tim. 4:22; Rom. 8:16)....Whatever we are (2:29; 8:5-6, 9), whatever we have (8:10, 16), and whatever we do toward God (1:9; 7:6; 8:4, 13; 12:11) must be in this spirit. Paul served God in his regenerated spirit by the indwelling Christ, the life-giving Spirit, not in his soul by the power and ability of the soul. This is the first important item in his preaching of the gospel. Rom. 1:9, footnote 2, RcV Bible](https://i0.wp.com/agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Christ-and-the-Spirit-are-with-the-believers-in-their-regenerated-human-spirit.jpg?fit=200%2C300&ssl=1)
All the requirements related to the believers – as revealed in the New Testament – are met by Christ living in us; in order for us to live the Christian life and serve God in our spirit in the gospel of His Son, we need to daily receive the divine supply. There is no way […]
