John 6:63

“It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”

 

As the children of God there is nothing we can brag about in this old flesh. Matter of fact if it were not for the quickening of the Holy Spirit of God we would still be dead in our sins.

With out Jesus' blood being shed on the cross we would have no eternal inheritance. We would be doomed to an eternity in hell if left to our own fleshly way of live. If not for the grace, mercy, and love of our Heavenly Father, His Son, and His Holy Spirit we would be dead eternally.

There is nothing we could ever do to save ourselves or to stop our down slide to the pit of hell without the Grace of God our Heavenly Father who, before he even spoke the first word on day one of Creation, loved us and chose us to be His children.

What a glorious thought! To know that we are children of the King and Joint Heirs with the Son of God! Never forget whose you are and who He is that loved you so much He gave His only begotten Son to die for your sins.

Oh! what a Heavenly Father we have!

Oh! how  we ought to praise His name continually!

 

I Corinthians 1:30, 31

“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.”

 

Praise ye the Lord!!!

Romans 8:8

“So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.”

 

Oh what a shame to find ourselves living in the flesh. How often in our busy, everyday life do we find ourselves living in the flesh or rather living according to this world? In our modern society we are under attack from all sides by the devil and his minions. For the most part we are at our weakest point spiritually when we are out in the world. Whether on the job or out with friends or at home watching television or listening to the radio or maybe even reading a book or newspaper, we are under constant attack from the enemy of God.

So how do we please God while in our everyday life? In Ephesians 6:11 the Lord told us “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” Read the Word, pray constantly, sing unto the Lord in your mind, quote scripture to yourself throughout the day. Keep your mind on things of God and not on things of the world.

Praise the Lord, give God the glory for everything, turn all your trials and temptations over to the Lord. As His children we have a Comforter, the Holy Spirit of God, that lives within us. We have free 24/7 access to the throne of God, our Heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, His Son, through prayer.

So pray daily that God will keep you from the flesh so that you can rightly please Him. Also remember to pray for each other as well. Our brothers and sisters in Christ need our prayers. They are tempted and tried just as we are.

 

Praise ye the Lord!!!
