Praise the Lord Beloved!!! 😀
Once again, hope you had a great weekend and super Sunday. 😀
You know Beloved, I’m sorry to say that for most Christians, the inward man/woman doesn’t rule the outward man/woman. Instead, the body rules the inward man/woman, and this is what makes carnal Christians.
In our Bible 1 Cor. 3:1-3 says: “And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ…. For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?”. In one translation this text says “body-ruled” instead of “carnal.” And, that’s what carnal Christians are, “body-ruled”.
Beloved, Paul told the Corinthians “Ye are yet carnal…and walk as men,”. In other words, they were living like people who had never been born again. I like the Amplified Bible translation of verse 3: “For as long as [there are] envying and jealousy and wrangling and factions among you, are you not unspiritual and of the flesh, behaving yourselves after a human standard and like mere (unchanged) men (women)?”
Beloved, don’t do it!!! Refuse to live like regular men/women!!! Live like the new creature you are!!! Determine to let the new man/woman in Christ dominate your being.
Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, today I am standing strong. I refuse to walk as a mere man. I’m changed. I’m a new creature in Christ. I will continue growth in Christ. I will continue my spiritual growth. “I” – the man on the inside – will dominate my being. Lord God, I will continue to walk as a spiritual man. I will behave myself after the standard of God’s Word. I will walk in love. I will walk in faith!!!
In Jesus’ Name I pray,
Amen and Amen.
