It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. Do you realize how blessed you are? have you ever sat down and thought about the many blessings God has bestowed upon you? Have you ever taken the time to weigh your blessings against your circumstances? Do you know how important you are to the Lord Jesus Christ?
So often, in our lives, we focus heavily on the current dilemmas we face until we lose sight of the awesomeness of God. While we do and will face trials and tribulations in our lives, we must never lose focus of the Sovereignty of God. No matter, no situation, no threat, no attack, no circumstance, no hurdle, no trap can ever hinder the Lord from doing what He desires to do in your life.
Do you realize believing is only one step? Do you realize there is a war going on between the Spirit Man and the Fleshy Man? You cannot stop at just believing, but you must put your belief into action. You must allow your spirit man to overtake your fleshy man. Your spirit man enables you to see and hear from the Lord clearly, while your fleshy man operates according to the concerns and threats of the world.
Your spirit man operates in obedience to the Lord, but your worldly man desires to please people. Your spirit man knows the ways and commandments of God, but your fleshy man only thinks about itself. The Bible declares in John 6:63 – It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
My brother, my sister, always remember, whatever man you feed the most, will be the man that controls you.
If you constantly feed your spirit man with the Word of God and the praises of God, your spirit man will grow in the strength and authority of the Lord. However, if you constantly feed your fleshy man with gossip, rumors, lies, worry, anxiety, etc. then your fleshy man will control how you react and respond to everyday activities.
Beloved, do you realize there is a war going on between the Spirit Man and the Fleshy Man?
The Bible declares in Acts 2:17 – And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh. It is the Spirit of God that can cause the flesh to fall under subjection. Today, which man do you feed the most? Which man do you entertain the most?
The Bible declares in John 4:24 – God is a Spirit, and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and truth.
Prayer for Today: Father, allow the spirit man in me to remain in control. In the name of Jesus…
Amen!
