Proverbs 19:16 He who keeps the doctrine saves his life, but the
despiser of the Word will die
We need a contrite Spirit the kind of Spirit that is pleasing and
acceptable to God. People with contrite Spirits are genuinely sorry for
their sins, and their souls will not rest until they repent and ask
forgiveness. But, the carnal Spirit that despises the Word of God; and
give in to their crude desires and appetites of the flesh will perish, it is
written. Those who live according to the flesh are hostile to God’s Word;
their minds are set on what their nature desires, but those that live according
to the Spirit have their minds set on God’s Word, which gives life. (Romans. 8:
5 for they that are after the flesh do the things of the flesh; but they that
are after the Spirit do the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally
minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because
the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God,
neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh and cannot
please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be
that the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if any man has not the Spirit of
Christ, he is none of His. 10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead
because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But
if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised
Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that
dwells in you.)
Lord, let our minds be controlled by Your Spirit, which results in
peace. Father, help us fight this Spiritual battle that cannot be won in
human terms. Give us the strength and courage to change the things that
can be changed; accept the things that cannot be changed, and give us the
wisdom to know the difference. Lord, give us forbearance doing suffering
and pain; and let us not complain. Father, we want You to be the center
of our lives, so help us surrender all to You, in Jesus name Amen
