Going deeper...to go further

This month we’re using the daily Bible reading plan to do a Spiritual MOT as we prepare for the journey ahead. Often times it is easy for us to focus on the "paint job" of outward appearances, but God looks directly at the engine room of the heart (1 Samuel 16:7). 2 Corinthians 13:5 calls us to examine ourselves to ensure our faith is genuine and active.

The reading plan starts with a couple days of preparation, followed by four weeks of honest reflection before the Lord. Each day, as we read the Scripture, we need to as ask the Holy Spirit: "Is this an area where I need you to help me work on?" If so, what does that change look like in your life? This isn't meant to bring condemnation; it's a beautiful opportunity for calibration and getting right with God.

Our prayer response: "Lord, examine me. Search my heart. Reveal anything that hinders my walk with You. Repair what is broken, realign what has drifted, remove what does not belong, and fill me afresh with Your Spirit. Make me a trustworthy vessel, ready for Kingdom purpose and faithful until the day I stand before You. Amen."

Spiritual MOT: Warning lights & road-readiness

What warning light has the Holy Spirit been highlighting?

Hebrews 3:7-15

Do not harden your hearts towards God7-8So listen to what the Holy Spirit says: "If you hear God speaking to you today, do not harden your heart against what He says. This is what you did in your days of rebellion against His authority, when you were subjected to a time of testing in the desert.9Your forefathers continually tested Me and tried My patience, even though they saw the miracles I performed for them over forty years.10You can understand My anger towards that generation and why I said, 'They have not walked in My ways because their hearts are turned against Me!'11This is why in My righteous anger I promised they shall never enter the place of eternal peace with Me!"12For this reason, my brothers, make sure that none of you has a sinful and unbelieving heart that opposes the living God.13Instead, encourage one another all the time, every day in fact; the deceitfulness of sin will only make your hearts hardened against God and His purposes.14We already live in Christ and will continue to do so if we remain confident in the faith we had at the beginning of our relationship with Him, until we have reached the conclusion of His purposes.15So let me remind you again: "If you hear God speaking to you today, do not harden your heart against what He says; this is what you used to do when you lived in rebellion against His authority."

Revelation 3:14-22

To the church at Laodicea14"To the angel of the church at Laodicea write this message: 'These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Ruler of God's creation.15I know what you have done, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either cold or hot.16But because you are only lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, I am about to vomit you out of My mouth.17You say, 'I am wealthy: I have acquired riches and need nothing.' Yet you do not realise that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.18'I advise you to buy from Me gold that has been refined by fire so that you may be truly rich, and white robes to wear that will prevent your nakedness from being exposed, and a salve for your eyes to enable you to see clearly.19'I correct and discipline all those I love. So repent and become hot!20Look, I am standing at the door and am knocking. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him and he with Me.21'To the one who is victorious, I will give the privilege of sitting with Me on My throne, in the same way that I was victorious and sat with My Father on His throne.22'Let the one who has spiritual understanding hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'"
