RESET
John 3:9
“How are these things possible?” Nicodemus asked.
It is time to reset.
One of the major stumbling blocks to man's relationship with the Heavenly Father is the flesh. The human body is that pathway that gives man the right to live on earth. It connects the spirit to the soul and is the recepient of what ever comes from the outside.
So man has a body and also a spirit. Both will leave man, however, the Spirit is God in man while the soul is man himself. The body is the container, having all the communication mechanism.
So, understanding these basics will make us understand the corruption of the flesh, that made man die, when he walked in disobedience. Thus every flesh must die.
Genesis 3:19b
For you were made from dust, and to dust you will return.”
Knowing this, it is therefore Not wisdom to work by mere feelings. Truly this is what has driven many away from the Heavenly Father and blocked them from fulfilling purpose.
All those who walked with God in scriptures did not walk by their feelings. All the prophets who could communicate with the Father needed to go beyond their feelings. (Take time to study them).
Those who were easily moved by feelings like king Saul crashed, for obedience is better than sacrifice was the response he got from Prophet Samuel.
So today let us be reminded of what Paul explained from scriptures:
Romans 12:1-2
And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.
Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
In Philosophy we are taught about nature and nurture. Personality and Environment etc (I have written something about this some times ago)
For you to live a fulfilled life to please the Heavenly Father you have to let go of all that and pick up the nature of your Father. ". . . transformed by the renewing of your mind . . ."
For feelings are of the flesh if you conform to the world and all it's data that has accumulated in your storage device. Rise above it and format that drive to install the Heavenly Father's data in your hard drive that your system will perform according to the divine.
Romans 8:6-10
So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace.
For the sinful nature is always hostile to God. It never did obey God’s laws, and it never will.
That’s why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never please God.
But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you. (And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them do not belong to him at all.)
And Christ lives within you, so even though your body will die because of sin, the Spirit gives you life because you have been made right with God.
Glory to God.
I am more than feelings and emotions, I am guided by God's Spirit.
So help me God.
He calls us blessed.
Love
