"The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace." - Romans 8:6 (NIV) This particular chapter refers to life through the Spirit, as per the Apostle Paul, and stresses the importance of living in such a way. He basically divides everyone into 2 categories — those who are dominated by their sinful nature, and those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit. Who we choose to allow control is ultimately up to us: who we are influenced by, what we put in our ears (listen to) and even the places we find ourselves in play a huge part in that. All of us would be in that first category if Jesus hadn't offered us a way out. Once we have said yes to Jesus we will want to continue following Him because His way brings life and peace. So we must consciously choose to allow the Spirit to move within us, leading our thoughts and actions. This brings glory to God but also, peace to our souls. He never said this life would be easy, as we know the path is narrow (seemingly getting smaller in today's society) but that overwhelming sense of peace in all things is so worth it, not to mention Paradise. His Word is a great way to discover the guidelines He's set aside for us, and then it becomes our responsibility to follow them. God has a plan and a purpose for each one of us in this life, choose to seek His will, live out that purpose everyday, and allow the Spirit to give you peace. 🙏🏽 #Romans #Chapter8 #Verse6 #NIV #GuardYourMind #RejectTheFlesh #WaysOfTheWorld #Death #LiveByTheSpirit #TrueLife #Peace #FollowJesus #DailyDevotional #GodsWord #Scripture #BLESSED #StraightNoChaser #KeepTheFaith #GodsLove #Grateful #Faithful https://www.instagram.com/p/CeX7lphL69D/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Speaks miles. It's super difficult to train self to let go of what self wants; of what self covets. Train self to not let go of precious moments, but to let go of the emotion attached to the situation. So many beings get caught up in possessions. Because self wants this or that, self starts to claim possession on it. Stop the toxic thinking! Self does not own anything but self. Let go of ideas of attachment, and resonate with the realization of appreciation. Appreciate whoever and whatever is in your life, even if it's only for a moment. Every aspect in one's life is a lesson to be grasped. #wakeup #enlighten #yourself #rejecttheflesh #reject #worldly #thinking #lovetomyspecies https://www.instagram.com/p/BykbbOenqUD/?igshid=cr0t55d1ujl2
