What criteria does the Holy Spirit use to please those who are His?
He pleases those who please Him.
"Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart," Psalm 37.4
This is the criteria God uses.
It is a permanent law that rules over your relationship with Him.
Everyone’s life depends on who they choose as their lord.
It does not depend on God or anyone else.
It does not depend on luck.
It does not depend on the stars.
It does not depend on destiny.
What they say about destiny is a lie.
It does not depend on education, beauty, strength or money.
It depends on obedience.
When you are obedient to the Word of God, blessings are inevitable.
When you are disobedient, curses are inevitable, Deuteronomy 28.
Being obedient to God can be summed up to having a practicing faith in the Holy Bible.
Of course, the practice of faith requires sacrifice.
Otherwise, this world would be a wonderful place because everyone has faith.
Yet, only a few put it into practice.
Believers believe in the Word, but only a few obey It.
This is why so many believers have had so many failures in their lives.
Being obedient to God was Abraham’s secret.
He never did any miracles or wonders...
He traveled through many lands.
He was an authentic nomad.
And still, wherever the Lord told him to go, he obeyed.
His name should have been Obedient Abraham.
No wonder the Lord chose him.
The Lord does not choose people who are disobedient and rebellious.
"Now Abraham was old, well advanced in age, and the Lord had blessed Abraham in ALL THINGS," Genesis 24.1.
