DAD'S DAILY BREAD

¹³ For if you live according to [the dictates of] the flesh, you will surely die. But if through the power of the [Holy] Spirit you are [habitually] putting to death (making extinct, deadening) the [evil] deeds prompted by the body, you shall [really and genuinely] live forever. ¹⁴ For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. Romans 8

The more time you spend in the Word the more God will expose things in your life you need to change. Some things the flesh just holds on to and will return to with little or no fight from you. You can feel the battle between flesh and spirit just raging at times and then other times the flesh can just slip things in and you wont even realize it until it’s too late. It is a war that will wage until the end of my life. I cannot stop that but what I can do is serve God with my mind and thoughts and continue to kill the things of my flesh as God changes me from the inside out and leads me towards the life He intended for me. These words are so encouraging and faith building! Knowing that the urge to want to please God and kill the things of my flesh doesn’t come from me but from the freedom Christ gave me when He took all my sins to the cross! Praise the Lord!

When there is something inside you, leading you, to want to glorify God and kill the things of the flesh, that’s being led by the Spirit. And verse 14 says those being led by the Spirit are sons of God! We are a part of something so great and powerful that there is truly nothing left to fear! With Christ we will genuinely live forever! How great is that news!

APPLICATION:

Stay in the Word. Keep God’s Word in my thoughts always. Filter my decisions and think about what I say before I say it. Stay humble. I don’t deserve anything! Be thankful! Continue to kill the things my flesh uses to separate me from God. Believe the truths of God and give no time to the lies of the enemy. Be thankful! Thank You Jesus!!

IN HIS NAME!
