November 16. Acts ch 1-3
MIND AND POWER WITHIN YOU
“For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.” Romans 8:6-8 NASB1995
GOOD DAY: Yesterday, we saw how man made himself independent of God. If you read the whole account of Genesis chapter 3, man became aware of himself and Adam and Eve separately made fig leaves to cover their nakedness. You see, leaves were not good enough for covering against the weather and other hazards of nature so God made a covering of animal skin for them and barred them from the tree of life so they won’t eat the fruit of it and live forever in a corrupt body.
Man seeing from his point of view, reasoning in consideration of his carnal or fleshly desires is a problem that leads to death. Fleshly desires lead to death, not necessarily death as we call it but of peace. Man may gather so much without God but it will be like leaves that cannot cover. There will be a void in him that he will always crave to fill and feeling helpless, powerless and naked as the void can only be filled with God. Until he connects with the spark of God in him, man feels empty, powerless and naked. The spark of God moves you to do what you conceive in your mind. The natural man conceives things to his advantage alone without thinking about God or his neighbor. The consequences of your thoughts can be life or death. When in tune with God, it results in life when not, it results in death. Tomorrow, we shall identify God as He has revealed Himself. But know that the totality of God is in you. He is the power at work within you. Connect with Him and you have life and peace.
