IN THE REALM OF THE FLESH OR THE SPIRIT

When we love Jesus, life will make more sense; even the horrible circumstance of day to day living has a positive meaning.  The friendship that ended, the marriage that failed, the job we lost, or the things we wanted but did not get.  When we look at our problems through the lens of the Word, we see everything happening in our lives, is for us to give God glory.  Our peace and comfort is a matter of, having a mindset controlled by the Spirit, instead of the flesh.  When we look at our trials with a mind controlled by the Spirit; it gives us patient and teaches us to sit quietly and wait on God, to order our steps in His will.

Romans 8:6-8 the mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.  The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.

Father, baptize us with the Holy Spirit; because the things of the Spirit promotes peace, love, and understanding.  Lord, when we are controlled by the Spirit, we see the battles that cannot be won in human terms; which make us rely on You.  Father, help us understand that Your will that causes us to pace our lives, so that when we face our battles; we have already made peace with the outcome.  Father, help us cope with the things and people that are wicked and dark-hearted; give us Your wisdom and knowledge, to move around them and away from harm.  Lord, let the enemy who plots to make us stumble and fall; be caught in their own snares.  Lord, we place the responsibility for all our problems and struggles in Your hand, in Jesus name, Amen
