Praise In the Presence of GodSample
Rebuilt by the Spirit
Many believers have such a struggle trying to learn to walk as steadfast disciples of Christ while still crippled from their pasts. Although in sincerity they seek to speed ahead, before long they become frustrated and confused, especially when they see others who are progressing steadily.
But to become a new creature in Christ is only the beginning of this new life. The promise, “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation,” does not instantly guarantee completed products. It does promise new possibilities opening to us—we are no longer dominated or controlled by our pasts. But for the full dominion of Christ’s rule to penetrate the whole personality, in most cases “the real you” needs to be rebuilt by the Spirit, day by day by day.

About this Plan
Pastor Jack Hayford points the way to the life-changing pathway of praise. No matter how you feel, praise will shape what your experiences will become. When doubts come, praise God that His Word will never fail you. When fears taunt, praise God that His presence never leaves you. When questions arise, praise God that His wisdom holds every answer. Praise leads you to the One who assures peace beyond strife, hope beyond trial, joy beyond sorrow, and life beyond all.
