Living by the flesh? Romans 8:5

 Greetings to all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good!  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!!!

  Today, in our world, the whole planet earth, people are living by the flesh.  Do we consult God on major decisions, OR, do we just go forth and justify our decision?

   Romans 8: 5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.

 A. W. Tozer was born in 1897 and died in 1963.  He was a Christian pastor, author, and mentor.  Here is a quote from him that is still relevant today:

 "We may as well face it: the whole level of spirituality among us is low.  We have measured ourselves by ourselves until the incentives to seek higher plateaus in the things of the Spirit is all but gone...{We} have imitated the world, sought popular favor, manufactured delights to substitute for the joy of the LORD and produced a cheap and synthetic power to substitute for the power of the Holy Ghost".

  God tells us to set our minds not on the flesh, but on the Spirit.  This means we are focused wholly on Christ, and not ourselves.  We work to follow Christ's agenda rather than our own agenda.

   If we live for the world, our eternal life will be lived in agony; whereas, if we live for Christ we will spend eternity with God.  So, dear friend, what is your choice?  Smoking or Non-smoking;  Heaven or Hell?  The choice is ours and we must not be afraid to share the good news of Jesus Christ to the world.

  Thank you for reading. Love you all

In Christ's Love and Grace
