There are two types of believers: the Carnal minded believer that do not mature and live with sinful behavior; and the Spiritual believers developing and growing in the Spirit. People that are carnally minded are chained to their flesh; because sin has become a way of life. A sensual spirited person walks in their will; although they work in the Church and know the Word, they chose sin over God's Word. "Romans 8:1-39 - There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Romans 8:6 - For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace." How can we live against what is written and still call ourselves followers; who are we following. The Word says those that “ desires of their sinful nature, the results are very evident: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, orgies and sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Those that walk with Christ have nailed their worldly desires to the cross and started producing the Spirit of love, joy peace, patience, kindness, faithfulness, goodness, gentleness, and self-control. The only way to walk with Christ is in truth, and we learn that truth in His Word.
Lord, help us to walk in truth; teach those that study Your Word the true meaning of the parables. Father, we know we cannot be perfect in the flesh; but we can be submissive to Word, so help us submit to Your Word. Father, there are so many false Prophets, give us the desire of Your Word so that we may show ourselves approved. Father, search our hearts and minds to remove all that hinders our blessings from You. Lord, give those that come in contact with our children and our children's children a gentle and patient Spirit. Lord, provide us with the Spirit of forbearance so that we may have faith, tolerance, and endurance in times of adversity. Father, keep us humble and in Your will; as we walk the path you have made for us. Father, strength our faith and help us with our disbeliefs in Jesus name we pray Amen
