Holy Ghost training is the original Cross-fit training!! ✝️ If you want a lasting shape that makes an eternal difference spiritual training is necessary. Spiritual training is much like physical training. It takes consistency and it takes discipline. It takes being faithful to the program to see the results.
For physical training is of some value, but godliness (spiritual training) is of value in everything and in every way, since it holds promise for the present life and for the life to come. This is a faithful and trustworthy saying worthy of full acceptance and approval.
1 Timothy 4:8-9 (AMP)
We have to make sure we are training for the afterlife as well. Remember, just because you know someone’s Name doesn’t mean you know them.
As God’s obedient children, never again shape your lives by the desires that you followed when you didn’t know better. Instead, shape your lives to become like the Holy One who called you. For Scripture says: “You are to be holy, because I am holy.”
1 Peter 1:14-16 (TPT)
You are not forgotten, for you have been chosen and destined by Father God. The Holy Spirit has set you apart to be God’s holy ones, obedient followers of Jesus Christ who have been gloriously sprinkled with his blood. May God’s delightful grace and peace cascade over you many times over!
1 Peter 1:2 (TPT)
The Holy Spirit has set us apart and has a tailor made program designed specifically for us. It is designed to maximize results based on the individual. The course is free but expect it to cost you everything. In return, expect to gain more than you can imagine!
The end result is to look like Jesus!
Beloved, we are [even here and] now children of God, and it is not yet made clear what we will be [after His coming]. We know that when He comes and is revealed, we will [as His children] be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is [in all His glory]. And everyone who has this hope [confidently placed] in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure (holy, undefiled, guiltless).
1 John 3:2-3 (AMP)
Be encouraged because even though the sometimes rigorous training is a trial by fire your trainer will never leave you! Learn to ignore the hecklers. Not everyone wants this kind of training.
Be strong and be brave. Don’t be afraid of those people because the Lord your God is with you. He will not fail you or leave you.”
Deuteronomy 31:6 (ERV)
Diet is everything! You are going to want to feast on His word daily!
I enjoy your laws. I will not forget your word. Be good to me, your servant, so that I may live to obey your word. Open my eyes so that I can see all the wonderful things in your teachings. I feel like a stranger visiting here on earth. I need to know your commands. Don’t keep them hidden from me.
Psalm 119:16-19 (ERV)
Eating clean and feasting on His word becomes a natural habit and an ongoing desire!
I constantly feel a hunger to understand your laws.(ERV) Psalm 119:20
Although you may not think so at first it is a very filling and satisfying meal that the Lord has prepared.
6 “Blessed [joyful, nourished by God’s goodness] are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness [those who actively seek right standing with God], for they will be [completely] satisfied.
Matthew 5:6 (AMP)
Meals so good they will make you see God!
8 “Blessed [anticipating God’s presence, spiritually mature] are the pure in heart [those with integrity, moral courage, and godly character], for they will see God.
Matthew 5:8 (AMP)
Remember to keep your eyes on the prize!
I run straight for the divine invitation of reaching the heavenly goal and gaining the victory-prize through the anointing of Jesus. So let all who are fully mature have this same passion, and if anyone is not yet gripped by these desires, God will reveal it to them. And let us all advance together to reach this victory-prize, following one path with one passion.
Philippians 3:14-16 (TPT)
His anointing keeps us strong and there is a constant refreshing along the way!
Your anointing has made me strong and mighty. You’ve empowered my life for triumph by pouring fresh oil over me.
Psalm 92:10 (TPT)
If you have forgotten some of your training there are plenty of of mature and disciplined saints and God ordained leaders who can help you get back on track!
My beloved friends, imitate my walk with God and follow all those who walk according to the way of life we modeled before you.
Philippians 3:17 (TPT)
Make sure the one you pick is in the right program! Not all are Cross fit training! 😞
For there are many who live by different standards. As I’ve warned you many times (I weep as I write these words), they are enemies of the cross of the Anointed One and
Philippians 3:18 (TPT)
