An Adjustment

I started out with pretty low standards. Jesus knew this when He gave me His Spirit to help me overcome. Through the pure preaching of His Word, I still get convicted. Conviction causes me to hang my head and not look my Savior full in His face. It is through the impetus of this conviction that draws me to the altar of God to make adjustments. The holy atmosphere of an altar service provides the perfect birthing support to adjustments in my nature.

If this were any other bout in any other issue in my life besides facing a Holy God, I would simply educate myself and try to practice good habits. But this part of me - my nature - needs refining and changed to be like Him. There is a tool whereby I can master myself and that is to be miraculously adjusted by the Holy Ghost power. I can kneel and confess, seek and linger, stand up and realize I am no longer tempted in that weak area anymore.

I am made aware of my insufficiency through the power of the Word. I submit myself for redefining. I end up changed in the very core of myself so I do not struggle to “put on a face”.

It is so much easier than pretend church, pretend relationship, pretend security.
