WORD 4 Today 11/12: I planted the seed in your hearts, and Apollos watered it, but it was God who made it grow. It’s not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What’s important is that God makes the seed grow. 1 Corinthians 3:6-7 NLT

Confess: I will DO MY PART in the KINGDOM.  Whatever God wants me to do I’ll JOYFULLY & WILLING OBEY.  I can always CONTRIBUTE to the SUCCESS of the KINGDOM OF GOD! - P. Rick

WORD 4 Today 11/11:  for you are still controlled by your sinful nature. You are jealous of one another and quarrel with each other. Doesn’t that prove you are controlled by your sinful nature? Aren’t you living like people of the world? 1 Corinthians 3:3 NLT

Confess: Today, I’m CONTROLLED by the SPIRIT not the flesh!  My sinful nature is CRUCIFIED & I am LIVING a RESURRECTED LIFE in Jesus!  I am NOT OF THIS WORLD! - P. Rick

WORD 4 Today 11/10: Well, then, I’ll nurse you since you don’t seem capable of anything more. As long as you grab for what makes you feel good or makes you look important, are you really much different than a babe at the breast, content only when everything’s going your way? 1 Corinthians 3:2–3 MSG

Confess: CARNAL is a word that should not be ASSOCIATED with CHRISTIANS!  When others GRAB for what they FEEL like having or makes them SEEM IMPORTANT I’ll get out of the way and SIMPLY PRAY!  God help us all, AMEN! - P. Rick

WORD 4 Today 11/9: I had to feed you with milk, not with solid food, because you weren’t ready for anything stronger. And you still aren’t ready, 1 Corinthians 3:2 NLT

Confess: When I try to DISCUSS the DEEPER THINGS of God they choke on it.  They can only take juice or milk not the MEAT of the Word.  May I be PATIENT & UNDERSTANDING & help them GROW UP! - P. Rick

WORD 4 Today 11/8: But for right now, friends, I’m completely frustrated by your unspiritual dealings with each other and with God. You’re acting like infants in relation to Christ, 1 Corinthians 3:1 MSG

Confess: Yes, it is FRUSTRATING to DEAL with other believers as UNSPIRITUAL BABIES.  Too often they act like spoiled brats who KNOW NOTHING about GOD & HIS WAYS!  Again I’ll PRAY FOR PATIENCE & TRUST God to HELP THEM! - P. Rick

WORD 4 Today 11/7: HOWEVER, BRETHREN, I could not talk to you as to spiritual [men], but as to nonspiritual [men of the flesh, in whom the carnal nature predominates], as to mere infants [in the new life] in Christ [unable to talk yet!] 1 Corinthians 3:1 AMP

Confess: Too many Christians are NONSPIRITUAL, of the FLESH in whom the CARNAL NATURE DOMINATES their lives.  Often they are BABIES in Christ at a level where they can’t EVEN TALK about SPIRITUAL THINGS.  They just BABBLE!  I will not criticize them but I’ll pray for them to GROW & MATURE in their faith & life in Christ! - P. Rick

WORD 4 Today 11/6: Dear brothers and sisters, when I was with you I couldn’t talk to you as I would to spiritual people. I had to talk as though you belonged to this world or as though you were infants in Christ. 1 Corinthians 3:1 NLT

Confess: It’s amazing to me HOW UNSPIRITUAL other Christians have become.  It seems like so many BELONG TO THE WORLD or are BABIES IN CHRIST.  My commitment is to GROW & MATURE & become MORE SPIRITUAL & Christlike as well.  - P. Rick

WORD 4 Today 11/5: For who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart. [Isa. 40:13.] 1 Corinthians 2:16 AMP

Confess: Knowing God is an IMPORTANT part of my life!  I can understand the HEART of God & know His FEELINGS & PURPOSES as well.  Wow God you are INCREDIBLE!  Kingdom of God come will of God be done.  Amen! - P. Rick

WORD 4 Today 11/4: For, “Who can know the LORD’s thoughts? Who knows enough to teach him?” But we understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:16 (NLT)

Confess: Because I’m COMMITTED to BEING SPIRITUAL I can UNDERSTAND God’s WAYS.  I really do HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST.  I ask “What would Jesus do?”  And I KNOW THE ANSWER.  I am endeavoring to THINK LIKE & ACT LIKE HIM today! - P. Rick

WORD 4 Today 11/3: But the spiritual man tries all things [he examines, investigates, inquires into, questions, and discerns all things], yet is himself to be put on trial and judged by no one [he can read the meaning of everything, but no one can properly discern or appraise or get an insight into him]. 1 Corinthians 2:15 AMP

Confess: As a SPIRITUAL PERSON I can INVESTIGE, QUESTION & DISCERN the things of God.  Those who are NOT SPIRITUAL won’t understand.  So obviously I will probably be MISUNDERSTOOD by them.  That’s ok, I won’t JUDGE them but I will PRAY for them. - P. Rick

WORD 4 Today 11/2: The unspiritual self, just as it is by nature, can’t receive the gifts of God’s Spirit. There’s no capacity for them. They seem like so much silliness. Spirit can be known only by spirit—God’s Spirit and our spirits in open communion. 1 Corinthians 2:14 MSG

Confess: This is TRUE, SPIRIT to SPIRIT!  I have the CAPACITY to see & EXPERIENCE the things of God.  My COMMUNICATION with Him is ON a whole different level.  I FOLLOW God’s LEADING! - P. Rick

WORD 4 Today 11/1: But the natural, nonspiritual man does not accept or welcome or admit into his heart the gifts and teachings and revelations of the Spirit of God, for they are folly (meaningless nonsense) to him; and he is incapable of knowing them [of progressively recognizing, understanding, and becoming better acquainted with them] because they are spiritually discerned and estimated and appreciated. 1 Corinthians 2:14 AMP

Confess: This is why I am DEDICATED to pursue the THINGS OF THE SPIRIT!  I can progressively UNDERSTAND & APPRECIATE all that God HAS DONE & IS DOING in & through my life!  Amen! - P. Rick
