We continue on with the next five characteristics of people who are committed to the convictions of their hearts and are courageously keeping those values.
6. Committed ,courageous people choose to humble themselves under the mighty hand of God , and they aren't arrogant in their estimation of self importance.JAMES 4:6-10
7. Committed , courageous people consciously and deliberately choose to submit to God, resist the devil by constantly denying self , picking up their cross and following Jesus daily.
JAMES 4 : 7
8.Committed, courageous people renounce ruthlessly every unrighteous use of their bodies , they commit themselves to be no longer conformed to this world but rather to be transformed by the renewing of their minds , choosing to believe in the truth and preferring to walk in God's truth regardless of their current feelings or circumstances. ROMANS 12 : 1-2
9. Committed , courageous people take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ , choosing to dwell, meditate & think upon that which is true , that which is honorable , right, pure, and lovely.PHILIPPIANS 4:8Amplified
10. Committed, courageous people have a countenance that suggests pure JOY in being where
JESUS has called them to be , not resentful, reluctant or remorseful , rather committed, courageous, passionate and happy . PHILIPPIANS 4:4-5
Jesus bless each one of you who are beginning to read regularly and also a big thank-you to those who are sending encouragements via 'comments', please continue to pursue nothing short of EXCELLENCE for JESUS. And don't settle for a 'country club Christianity ' , that is not what the Word calls us to .
Praying for you all and beseeching you to become radically obedient to Jesus'Perfect Will . (see previous posts for that definition.
