2 Corinthians 10:3 (NKJV) 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.

According to God’s word, a believer does not war in and of the flesh. We learn how to battle differently; we don’t let the flesh get the best of us any longer.

How many know what I’m talking about here? We begin to do things by letting His Holy Spirit guide and direct our steps.

The old way is done with and there is a new way of doing things. We have to submit to God and let the change come.

2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV) 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

As a child of God, we are starting over. We are starting from scratch. We have a brand-new, clean slate. And we are just beginning to see what God can do when we confess our sins and walk in His faithfulness to forgive us!

1 John 1:9 (NKJV) 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

We are clean, my friend. Very clean.

That doesn’t mean sin no longer exists in us or never tempts us. It means that we have been cleansed from prior things that we have confessed, and we will need the Holy Spirit to help keep it out of our daily walk.

This is something that we learn to do on a daily basis. And as we follow God’s leading, it gets easier.

Will we ever be perfect at it? No.

But if we put God first in everything, heed the leading of the Holy Spirit, and let Him mold us and shape us, He will create a new person in us that we will barely recognize over time.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-14-16

Walking in The Spirit

John 8:10-11 (NKJV) 10 When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?” 11 She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.”

“Neither do I condemn you”. Those words are spoken by many who want to demonstrate God’s forgiveness for us when we make wrong choices. It’s important that we know this, so we will not live lives of condemnation.

Just as important, though, is what Jesus said at the very end of this; “go and sin no more”.

You see, God has made a way for us to have forgiveness, but He also wants us to refrain from sin. He wants us to live by the Spirit, not by the flesh. And as we learn to live by the Spirit, we will begin to lose the desire to sin. And we will desire to please Him in everything we do.

As the desire to please Him increases, we will find ourselves making bad choices less and less. And as we are tempted and God provides a way out (as He always does), we will begin to turn and run away from sin more and more often.

Proverbs 10:12 says that love covers a multitude of sins. And that also is very true. But that truth is still never an excuse for us to willfully sin.

So it’s important for us to learn to live and walk in the Spirit, listening for God’s voice. And as we do that, we will get better and better at not fulfilling the lust of the flesh.

Galatians 5:16 (NKJV) 16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
