Phil. 3:10I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,
You see no good thing dwells in this flesh, it is only in death to "self" that we finally see the life of Christ in us. In our weakness He is made strong. We have all of the HS we are ever going to get. We have as much of the HS as Billy Graham, Pastor Chuck, Peter, Paul and all the rest. The one main issue that falls into our lap is how much of our "self" are we willing to get out of the way of the HS?
First we need to identify self in it's many insidious forms.
Then we need to discipline ourself to not conform to the old patterns of thinking or the pattern of the world but to be conformed to the likeness of Christ, in our thoughts, then our intents and then as we get self out of the way consistently enough He will then work His way out in our actions.

This evening I will begin a fast from TV. I will not watch any at all until the day after Easter. Which will be April 1, 2013
Welcome
One of the most effective ways to allow the Word of God to affect your life is to study it inductively. That is what this blog is all about. Typically one verse per day will be mined for insight and then followed up with how I plan to implement that insight practically. My prayer is that in some way you find this useful in your journey and that it may impact you positively. -G
