For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.  Romans 8.6

There are two paths – flesh and Spirit. Everyone has to choose if they will walk in the flesh, darkness and death, or in the Spirit, which is light and life. Your decision will be displayed by the way you are living. Those who choose to walk in the flesh will always have problems in all areas of life. But those who decided to walk in the Spirit will display the happiness of those that belong to Jesus. Choose life and peace! 

When you allow your heart to lean for the works of the flesh, you are heading to eternal doom and before you are convicted to Hell, you will be dominated by the forces of evil. Thus, no matter how hard you strive, you will not escape the clutches of Satan. Only with true repentance and the confession of your sins will you be able to get out from captivity. Make your decision right now! 

Now, if you submit yourself to the Spirit of God, you will have life and peace. Therefore, see which side have you been leaning towards, for Jesus paid a very high price for you to be successful in this life and throughout eternity.  This is just as certain as there was a yesterday and there will be a tomorrow. It is evident that the predisposition of human nature can be changed. For this to happen, man has to turn back to the Spirit of the Lord instead of giving in to the desires of the flesh. 

Why not surrender to the Holy Spirit and enjoy life and peace? Those who don’t enjoy of the faith in Christ lose a lot. Many are guided by the flesh, which enchants them with their tricks and offers. Later, they don’t know the reason why so many bad things are happening to them, to their family and with all that concerns them. There is nothing better than trusting your life to the Lord and enjoy the very best. 

The works of the flesh prove which way you are leaning to. They are adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,  envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like (Galatians 5:19-21). If one of them or several are present in your life, then open your eyes and go back to holiness, for your life is in great danger. 

Those who act according to the flesh get involved with Satan´s nature and, then, when they least expect, they will taste how bitter and strong is the “devil´s syrup” – worse than the most powerful poison in the world. Don’t get involved with it; if this happens, you will be at enmity with God (Romans 8:7). The Lord offers you a life in abundance now and throughout eternity (John 10:10b). 

Today is a day to reflect, ask for forgiveness and begin to walk with the Father, turning to the things that the Holy Spirit will show you in the Word. Then, you will discover a new world, where holiness, love and other virtues abide. Those who lean towards the Spirit of God find life and peace. What will you do? 

In Christ, with love,

Lord! We don’t want to give in to flesh and do the filthy works of the devil, and thus, receive death – Satan´s nature – as our master. We want Your Spirit guiding and leading us to love You more and more. 

We need to find peace and love, and not death. We were born to serve You and love You, that is why we ask forgiveness for our wrong works. We want to give in to Your covenant. 

Erase all those things of the flesh. Perhaps one or a few of them are still present in us, but we don’t want them. We long for the virtues of the fruits of the Spirit and for Your presence. Amen!
