First spiritual conviction. God does convict our hearts. Whether through sickness, accidents, hardening your heart or wishing something bad to your enemy and you getting exactly what you thought for them, happens to you in stead. After realizing you should of forgiven and let go. Conviction by His Holy Spirit. Like when you see someone on the corner and they are in need and you pray for them. That God will lead someone to help them. If you are close to a person in needs and you have plenty the Holy Spirit prompts you to share. The Holy Spirit will guide you as you take his lead. If you do something wrong the Holy Spirit will convict you into feeling guilty till you ask for forgiveness and repent. When you ask God to give you the right words to speak. The Holy Spirit will whisper in your ear what to speak. God speaks through sickness, sorrow, tears and even compassion, kindness. If God tells you to move do not procrastinate. Don’t be rebellious or use unrighteous stupidity cause you will have yourself only to blame. Nobody can blame others for your actions. You only have yourself to blame.
Do not put off today that can be done tomorrow is a lie! Do today for today and don’t boast about yesterday never comes again or tomorrow cause it never comes. “Boast not yourself of tomorrow, for no one knows not what a day may bring us.” You have the idea right? God has spoken over and over again and one of these days I’m going to give my heart to the Lord, tomorrow.” But in God’s Word it reads: “Don’t boast about tomorrow. “Tomorrow’s a time only found on the fool’s lazy excuse.” It never gets done.
You know, there’s an interesting story in the bible that a video has already been done about Moses leading the children of Israel out of Egypt. Now, Egypt had a king, the Pharaoh, and he was a vile, wicked, lascivious, an arrogant man. And so God, in order to touch Pharaoh and allow God’s people to go, God began to send plagues into the land of Egypt. The Bible says that God hardened Pharaoh’s heart. Earlier, we read in the Bible that Pharaoh hardened his heart against God and would not listen to Him, but now we read that God hardened his heart. This teaches us a VERY important lesson – we must ALWAYS be ready to listen to God! The hardening of a heart is a process – a repeated event. If a person hardens their heart too many times, he may come to a place where they cannot listen anymore. God told Moses to lead the people toward the Red Sea. God told Moses that He was going to make Pharaoh’s heart stubborn so Pharaoh would chase after the Israelites. God would then do something amazing so all the Egyptians would know that He was the one true God (Exodus 14:1-4 ~~~Then the Lord said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites to turn back and encamp near Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea. They are to encamp by the sea, directly opposite Baal Zephon. Pharaoh will think, ‘The Israelites are wandering around the land in confusion, hemmed in by the desert.’ And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will pursue them. But I will gain glory for myself through Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.” So the Israelites did this.)The Lord told Moses to stop praying and get moving! Prayer must have a vital place in our lives, but there is also a place for action. Sometimes we know what to do, but we pray for more guidance as an excuse to postpone doing it. If we know what we should do, then it is time to get moving. The Bible also teaches that you can so insult God, you can say, “No,” to the Holy Spirit of God so many times, that God’s Holy Spirit of God will cease to work in your heart. Three times in the first chapter of Romans in verses 24 through 28, God speaks of giving up on people; “And God gave them up, and God gave them up, and God gave them over.” The old-time preachers used to call that, “When the lights go out on the road to hell.” The Holy Spirit of God no longer speaks to a man. Genesis chapter 6:3; God said before the flood, “My Spirit will not always strive with man.” Don’t get the idea that Holy Spirit conviction is going to stay in your heart and in your life. You may come to a place of sudden destruction in your spirit as well as in your mind, where the Holy Spirit of God no longer speaks to you and, and, and God no longer draws you. {Exodus 14:21-30Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided, and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left. The Egyptians pursued them, and all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots and horsemen followed them into the sea. During the last watch of the night the Lord looked down from the pillar of fire and cloud at the Egyptian army and threw it into confusion. He jammed the wheels of their chariots so that they had difficulty driving. And the Egyptians said, “Let’s get away from the Israelites! The Lord is fighting for them against Egypt.” Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea so that the waters may flow back over the Egyptians and their chariots and horsemen.” Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the sea went back to its place. The Egyptians were fleeing toward it, and the Lord swept them into the sea. The water flowed back and covered the chariots and horsemen—the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed the Israelites into the sea. Not one of them survived. But the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left. That day the Lord saved Israel from the hands of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians lying dead on the shore.} Food for thought!
Proverbs Chapter 29:1-27
He, that being often reproved hardened his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked bears rule, the people mourn. Whoso loveth wisdom rejoices his father: but he that keeps company with harlots spends his substance. The king by judgment establishes the land: but he that receives gifts overthroweth it. A man that flattered his neighbor spreads a net for his feet. In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice. The righteous considers the cause of the poor: but the wicked regards not to know it. Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath. If a wise man contended with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest. The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul. A fool utters all his mind: but a wise man keeps’ it in till afterwards. If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked. The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lightens both their eyes. The king that faithfully judges the poor, his throne shall be established for ever. The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself brings his mother to shame. When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increases: but the righteous shall see their fall. Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul. Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keeps the law, happy is he. A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer. Sees thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him. He that delicately brings up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length. An angry man stirred up strife, and a furious man abounds in transgression. A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honor shall uphold the humble in spirit. Whoso is partner with a thief hates his own soul: he hears cursing, and bewrayeth it not. The fear of man brings a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe. Many seek the ruler’s favor; but every man’s judgment cometh from the LORD. An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.
