RAISE OUR STANDARDS

Matthew 6:24 “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. 

God wants us to raise our standards from our flesh to our Spirit. He wants us to walk and talk differently. He wants His thoughts to be our thoughts. When we follow Christ, nothing, not even money, should take our focus off of Him.  God is Spirit, and we who worship and follow Him must worship and follow in Spirit. So, we have to raise our standards; so, we must die daily to our flesh, so we can mature in Spirit.

Lord, help us raise our standards, rid us of our fleshly desires: sexually immoral, adultery, greed, pride, drunkenness, and all sins that keep us from inheriting Your kingdom. Father, baptize us in the Holy Spirit that empowers us to be submissive to You.  So, all our worldly desires of the flesh and the desires of our eyes are no longer pleasing to us. Which gives You room to move in our lives powerfully. Lord, let our actions and speech reflect You in us, let Your light shine through us, for the world to see. Father, thank You for forgiveness, mercy, peace, and favor. Thank You for raising our standards and helping us forgive. Lord, thank You for blessings us and expanding our criteria, so we can be a blessing. Thank You for submitting our standards to be doers of the word, not just hearers. In Jesus name Amen
