“Now the
deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: sexual immorality, impurity,
indecent behavior, idolatry, witchcraft, hostilities, strife, jealousy,
outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions, envy, drunkenness,
carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have
forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the
kingdom of God.” Galatians 5:19-21 NASB.
GOOD MORNING. Ideas
like we saw in Genesis 3:1-7. God asked Adam who told him he was naked when he
hid from God. “And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Genesis
3:11 NASB.

ALSO: THE NATURAL AND THE SPIRIT – TOOL OF IMAGINATION
We
will always have to identify what spirit or motive gives you the idea that you
are meditating on. I am looking at the flesh or nature first because we are
used to the natural. It has been man’s default setting since after the fall.
Which of the emotions stated in the scripture above do you recognise working in
you at any particular time? Whichever one operates in you gives you ideas and
you think on the idea from the eye of the particular emotion and act as it
directs you. If your motivation is from any of these emotions, your actions
will be evil and you cannot enjoy the kingdom of God benefits.
PRAY:
Dear Lord, search me and cleanse me from all works of the natural self.
