#SpiritOverFlesh

[tdowning79]

King David knew the importance of telling his soul to bless the Lord! Your soul is the birthplace of your feelings, emotions and desires and, unfortunately, your soul doesn't always "feel" like blessing the Lord. There will be moments in your life when your soul feels like whining and will demand its right to be heard. At those moments, you must treat your soul just like you treat an out-of-control 2 year old! You must command your soul, like David did, to bless the Lord! Your spirit should be the part of your inner man that calls the shots in life. Unfortunately, in our 21st Century, psycho-babble world, we have majored on the soul and minored on the spirit. You would never be able to walk by faith and not by sight if you allowed your soul to be in charge. Our souls are driven by our circumstances but our spirits are led by the Spirit of God and the Word of God. Do not allow your soul to boss your spirit around no matter how loud it becomes! Your soul says pitiful things like this: "The music is too loud. I will just sit here and criticize." "I am too tired to lift my hands in worship." "I can't afford to put anything in the offering plate this week." "I'm too tired to go to Bible Study. I have a headache. It's probably a tumor." When your spirit talks, however, it sounds a whole lot like the Word of God! "I love being a cheerful giver!" "I refuse to worry ... I am going to trust the Lord to supply!" "I am so thankful that this church worships enthusiastically!" Flex your spiritual muscles and allow your spirit to to guard and control the responses of your soul to life. #morningdevotional #youversion #ajoltofjoy #spiritoverflesh https://www.instagram.com/p/CWLMpfWr263/?utm_medium=tumblr

Spirit over Flesh

God’s word says that when we receive Christ as our Lord and Saviour, He gives us a new nature. He gives us His nature. He also gives us a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7 For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline) so that we do not need to be controlled by emotion but rather think properly. Without God’s help we do things excessively (sleep, eat, spend money, think, drink, etc.), and fall into regret because we have behaved emotionally. 

BUT, we do not need to live in regret. God gave us His Spirit to help us to make right and wise decisions. God’s spirit guides and leads us but ultimately, we are the ones who make the final decisions.

We need to stop making decisions based on what we feel like doing unless it agrees with God’s will. 

God wants you to live out your new nature, not the old. By trusting Him and making the decision to obey, His Spirit transforms you and makes you more like Him.

The goodness of God to a man of evil life is not intended to encourage him to continue in his sin, but it is meant to woo and win him away from it.

STATUS: I miss dating with God

My heart is far from God now.Well, as of these days and weeks, I was not able to give time for God. And I don't know where I am now spiritually. I'm confused and guilty. I gave much attention and time to the lesser and worldly things. I spend much time on Facebook and Twitter. Seems like I'm addicted to it already. I'm not busy but still can't managed to give time to the Lord. I may go to church and I admit that I'm sad because my heart is far away from God. I can't play the piano also in the church because of what I know that the musicians should be pure before the presence of God. I don't like my status now. =( I do need restoration. I'm sucha lazy person now and I hate it. It's weird I'm being lazy then hating for being it. 

I'm lost again. I'm cold. And I must do the right thing as soon as possible, especially I already knew that the signs of the end are already manifesting. 

Everytime i came to think God, there's always in the back of my mind that I should get ready before the time comes. My spirit is longing for Him and I'm so thirsty. It's just like sometimes, I get to fail my spirit over my flesh. 

Hopefully, I may be able to work this on as soon as possible. =(( :/

All I need now, is to confess all of these to HIM.

I know this; when my soul is full of Christ, I can defy the devil himself, for what can he bring me when I want nothing?

Charles Spurgeon

[spiritoverflesh]

There  is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

Romans 8:1 NKJV

[spiritoverflesh]

The power of the one who raised Jesus from the dead is living in us, and as a result we have no need to muster up our own might. Our great need is to fall before an almight Father day and night and to plead for Him to show His radical power in and through us, enabling us to accomplish for His glory, what we could never imagine in our own strength.
