Revelation of the Word:

THEME: MINDSET

Romans 8:5-8 NKJV

“For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.”

INSIGHT

-To walk according to the flesh is to follow the sinful desires of one’s old life. Galatians 5:19-21 outlines the acts of the flesh which include:- sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like, and those who practice this will not inherit the kingdom of God. In contrast, to walk in the spirit is to follow the desires of the Holy Spirit and to live in the way pleasing to Him. To walk in the spirit is to walk in holiness not only through our actions and words but also our thoughts that fill our minds each moment of our lives. Those who are led by the spirit are sons of God which becomes a lifestyle of kingdom living.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us now and forever more. Amen
