A new Christian has to deal with similar challenges
to that of a newborn baby. Spiritual development is comparable to
the physical challenges experienced by a baby as it grows. Everyone
has varying degrees of strength and different breaking points and
Jesus knew we would be burdened by people and circumstances and need
extra help. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is a life changing
experience that empowers you to do the work of the Lord. Imagine
being so filled with the Holy Spirit that the power of God simply
emanates and touches everyone around you. That's what happened on
the day of Pentecost and in every move of God since that time. We
need to let the Godly light in us shine outwardly. This can be done
in an intentional manner but it can also occur in an overt manner
whereby people observe your life and realize there is something
different about you. Growing in Christ is important if you want
personal victory but spiritual production is also essential to the
Kingdom of God. Jesus said that we would be known by our works. What
do people say about you? Is the light of Jesus shining through you?
