The Flesh vs. The Spirit

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 KJV

(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)

Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

We have to be accountable for the decisions we make in life. These decisions can move us forward or set us back from our destiny. Relationships, careers, protection, provision, happiness, overcoming and even motivations we usually depend on the Most High for but if we are honest we can confess that we play a huge part in these things because of free will in having a choice in the matter. Having this kind of authority can help us or hurt us as people wanting and needing more in certain areas of our lives.

The tools for overcoming take bravery, being set apart takes boldness. Sometimes it’s not easy walking away from unhealthy, rebellious or dysfunctional bondages because the flesh wants what it wants. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. The enemy of your soul wants you to be devoured by addictions, insecurities, shame, fear, filth, struggle, jealousy, danger, rage and many other negative strong holds we should be rebuking from our lives.

It is imperative that we make great choices for our lives considering our spirit first because of where we want to end up for eternity. Rejoicing in health, increase, expansion, discernment, focus, love, peace, trust, forgiveness, obedience, ect. should be our goal. There is strength in courageous and positive decisions but the belief in a higher Power helps us to keep in mind that we are imperfect people seeking perfection to direct us to a place of complete rest. Remember family…spirit first and then body because in any other order there will most likely be chaos and regret.

Faith in God

Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”. Faith is knowing that God is! How can we want the Most High to do exceedingly abundantly all that we can ask or think but not trust that He has the power and control to do it? When we move outside of His will, His word or His way then we become our own power and remove the Father out of His set apart position. Give Him permission to work on your behalf.

When we come humbly before the LORD we must believe with all of our heart, body and soul that He has heard us and that He will move mountains for us. We also have to trust that whatever we bring to the Most High’s footstool will leave us victorious. In other words…get out of the way and allow God to be who He is. Just remember that life and death is in the power of the tongue. Don’t rob Yah of His Authority.
