The real war is not on
the outside, it's on the inside. When you can fight and overcome the lusts and
demands of the flesh, when you can turn to God instead of your habits and find
pleasure, peace, and solace in the things of the spirits, when you master yourself,
you will have the power to change your life and the world around you. I don't
know who I'm speaking to... But you need to get mind back in order in Christ or
it's going to lead you to a path of destruction. Romans 8:5-8 speaks about the
mind and those who govern by the flesh and the Spirit.ฺ ฺ There are some of you who are battling day
and night with something that's eating you alive. Maybe it's lying, stealing,
cheating, impurity, witchcraft, envy, fornication, sexual immorality,
perversion, homosexuality, adultery, pornography, masturbation, lust, idolatry,
fits of rage, hatred, jealousy, drunkenness, drugs, profanity, etc.. You know
those things do not please God because they are not the Spirits of God nor the
desires of God but the cravings you feel inside pushes you to give in.ฺ ฺ The reason why some of us have such a hard
time living in accordance to the Spirit is because we're spending less time in
the Word and prayer. Our flesh becomes weak, opening doors for the enemy to
play with your mind, reminding you of your past mistakes and sins-- you then
begin feeding off those thoughts until they enter your heart and then become
reality in your actions. As a people we focus so much on the outside. Nowadays
everything is about shouting and praise and not enough emphasis on prayer and
spending time in the Word to feed your Spirit.ฺ ฺ Why go back to what you used to do. Why go back to where you used
stay. For you did receive a spirit that makes you a slave to whatever God
delivered you from. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus!
You are not controlled by the sinful nature! You are not your past sins and you
are not your mistakes, that has been nailed to the cross! Get into prayer, get
into fasting, get into your Word until that thing is broken. God is for you,
you are more than a conqueror.
