Bible Verse of The Day – 3-15-19

Galatians 5:25 (NKJV) 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

The things we do outwardly are an expression of our inward faith.

Everything we do in the natural is driven by what’s inside us. Our spiritual condition is displayed by our actions.

Sometimes we don’t like to think about this, but we get reminded every once in a while, when we catch ourselves doing or saying something that we know isn’t pleasing to God.

This can be a huge wakeup call for us.

As believers, there are many things that we can do to show our faith outwardly. Some of this involves the faith that we have in God. This is displayed by our level of trust in Him.

Our trust in Him will be displayed, or not displayed, by how we react to the situations and circumstances we encounter in our lives. The flesh will react by being fearful and anxious, whereas faith will react by looking to God and seeking answers from Him, patiently waiting, even when it may feel like the world is falling down around us.

When we act in faith, we may still have some fears, but we won’t let them rule us or cause us to run in fear from the things we face.

Our walk with God is also displayed outwardly by our character, our personal integrity, and our morals.

Do we stand strong in our morals, even when it means facing ridicule from others? Do we behave with integrity when nobody is watching us? These are great tests for us!

We can also display our faith in how we treat others. Do we love those around us, or do we treat them miserably? Do we help when we see a need, or do we pretend we didn’t see anything and keep on with what we were already doing?

None of us is perfect in any of these, and none of us ever will be. But as members of the body of Christ, it’s very important that we let God lead us by His Spirit each and every day, so the things we do will represent Him in a way that He finds pleasing.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-1-19

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

Walking in the Spirit means taking what God says, such as, to be kind, be forgiving, be loving, be patient, etc., and put them into practice.

When a problem arises, or something doesn’t go just the way we thought it would, remember what God’s word teaches us to do, how to respond and what to say.

It’s not easy, we know. But when we let His Spirit teach us, we push down the ugly fleshly desires.

Walking in the Spirit takes practice, discipline and strength. Our Spirit man needs to be sharp and built up through the word of God, that we may be able to resist the wiles of the enemy.

Ephesians 6:11 (NKJV) 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

What is the whole armor of God? Truth, Righteousness, Peace, Salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, God’s word. As we move in these, no weapon formed against us shall prosper. God’s Spirit will be right there fighting for us.

Isaiah 54:17 (NKJV) 17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-22-19

Galatians 5:22-23 (NKJV) 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

The Spirit of God is beautiful, and when we let Him have control over our being, this is what we will produce.

Love: an intense feeling of deep affection.

Joy: a feeling of great pleasure and happiness.

Peace: freedom from disturbance; tranquility.

Longsuffering: having or showing patience in spite of troubles, especially those caused by other people.

Kindness: the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate.

Goodness: the quality of being morally good or virtuous.

Faithfulness: the quality of being faithful; fidelity. Loyal.

Gentleness: the quality of being kind, tender, or mild-mannered.

Self-Control: the ability to control oneself, in particular one’s emotions and desires or the expression of them in one’s behavior, especially in difficult situations.

These are the characteristics of the Spirit of God living in us through His Son, Jesus Christ. This is our inheritance. These wonderful traits are the riches of God that we too can walk in each day.

Galatians 5:25 (NKJV) 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

We are not on our own, His Spirit lives in us. He will help us to produce such fruit! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-22-18

1 Peter 2:15-16 (NKJV) 15 For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men— 16 as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of God.

When we serve God in the way He has called us to do, taking steps of wisdom instead of letting our emotions take over, we shut down the undercurrent of foolishness that the enemy may be trying to draw us in to.

When we resist the wrong and stay steadfast in what is right, we silence the ignorance and foolishness of man.

It may seem like nothing is happening in the natural, but we can’t let that fool us. We don’t walk in the natural. We walk in the Spirit.

God will show us and give us wisdom as to how to respond in every situation. When we line up with the will of God, much is accomplished.

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

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-25-18

2 Thessalonians 3:13 (NKJV) 13 But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good.

Some days it can feel like doing good is impossible.

We have been commanded by God to do right by everyone, to do all things as unto Him, and to love everyone we encounter.

Most times this isn’t a problem. But then there are those times when it feels like doing good is a huge fight.

This might be because we have been fought so hard. It might be because the person we are trying to do right by is mean and wicked in their ways. Or it might just be that we are tired… worn out from trying.

But God has told us not to grow weary in doing good. So how do we do that? How do we continually do good without reaching a point where we simply want to throw our hands up in the air and walk away?

There’s only one way. We need to make sure we’re doing things by the Spirit of God, not by our own natural strength.

Let’s face it; Our flesh is weak. It will only take us just so far before it wants to give up and sit down.

But God’s spirit is strong and mighty. So we need to let God teach us how to live and move by His spirit, not by our flesh or our emotions.

This takes time, but it will happen if we put forth the effort and have the desire for it. We need to draw near to God, and as we do so, He will strengthen our spirit.

Psalm 73:28 (NKJV) 28 But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, That I may declare all Your works.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-14-17

Romans 8:8-9 (NKJV) 8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. 

Many people wonder how to please God. Sometimes we ask what it really takes. How do we live day-to-day lives that please Him? 

Here’s our answer; walk in the Spirit, not in the flesh. 

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

Our flesh will lead us down all kinds of crazy roads. And it can get us into some serious trouble. Not to mention that the choices we make in the flesh can have some drastic consequences. 

But as we learn to live and walk by the Spirit, we will find ourselves making wiser choices and getting into less trouble. We will also find that our lives are more peaceful, since we will hear God more clearly and discern spiritual things more quickly and sharply. 

Learning to walk by the Spirit and avoid walking by the flesh, despite what most of us would like, takes time to learn. It’s not necessarily complicated, but it does require deliberate effort on our part. 

So, what’s the key to defeating the flesh and learning to walk by the Spirit? 

Draw near to God. Yes. It’s that simple. As with most everything else, we get out what we put in. So, the more effort we make, the more fruit we will see in our lives. 

As we spend time in His word we will get a greater understanding of who He is. This will help us learn how to live and walk by the Spirit. 

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. And as He draws near to you, watch your life be transformed one day at a time. And soon, you will no longer live and walk by the flesh, but by the Spirit.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-14-16

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.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-18-16

Galatians 5:25-26 (NKJV) 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

Envy and conceit are things that even we Christians have to deal with at times. Just because we have the Spirit of God living in us doesn’t mean we will not have to deal with our flesh. Our flesh is ALWAYS there. We just have to learn how to deal with it when it rears its ugly head.

Learning to walk in the Spirit will take time, teaching our flesh to get used to changing things up and listening, instead of just doing what we usually do.

Keeping the flesh in line with God’s Spirit can be tiring at times, especially when we’re first starting to learn this new way of living. If we’re not careful, it can wear us out, causing us to give up easily and give in to those fleshly desires.

But God is with us even when we are tired. He will help us and give us rest as we lean on Him for guidance, strength and wisdom to do the right thing at the right time.

Exodus 33:14 (NKJV) 14 And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”

If we are feeling tired today, constantly fighting the flesh, we need to remember that God’s presence is there with us. Lean on Him. Talk to Him and let Him know. He will help us get victory over the flesh.

Sometimes we have to make adjustments. But whatever they may be, follow His steps.

And we need to always remember that changing the flesh doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time. But over time we will grow and learn how to walk in the Spirit and deal with the flesh when needed.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-23-15

Romans 8:1 (NKJV) 8 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

No condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

We hear this preached and taught a lot. And it is a true word.

Unfortunately, most of the time that we hear it taught, we only hear the first half of it, and not the second half. The second half is what makes the first half complete!

This is a hard thing to teach because we have had it drilled into us for so long with just the first half. But God’s word is His word, and it can’t be taken in part or by what makes us feel good.

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the spirit!

Our faith needs to have action behind it! It is our faith that saves us, but it is our action that proves that we have faith.

As we put our hope and trust in Christ, our actions need to follow suit and the ways of the flesh need to be laid aside. We need to learn to live and walk by the Spirit.

This doesn’t happen overnight. God is merciful and His grace is sufficient as we hash this out in our daily lives. We stumble and fall many times and we might sometimes even question if we’re really saved.

But if we persevere and press in to God, He will light our path and guide our steps. And in time, if we don’t give up, we will see ourselves changing. And when that happens, we will no longer walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

Don’t give up! Stick with it and let God guide you. In time, it will all come together.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-18-14

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

Sometimes we can have a hard time resisting temptation.

Temptation comes in many, many forms. And each of us has specific kinds of temptation that are harder to resist than others.

For some it might be lust. For others it might be gossip. And for others it might be lying or stealing. It really doesn’t matter what it is that we wrestle with. All that matters is that we all fight against temptation.

Want to know the secret to defeating temptation? Walk in the Spirit.

The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God, is our guide in this life. He is our helper. He speaks to us at all times, telling us what to do and what not to do. He tells us everything we need to know to live a strong life as a believer.

We just need to listen!

If we can learn to hear God’s spirit and heed His instruction, we will no longer struggle so badly with fulfilling the lust of the flesh, or falling for any type of temptation.

This doesn’t mean that we will become sinless. We’re human, and it’s not in human nature to be sinless.

But it does mean that we will gain the upper hand over temptation and sin and we will win more often than we will lose!
