FLESH MUST BE DEAD!

“And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:”
1 Corinthians 2:4 KJV
http://bible.com/1/1co.2.4.kjv

Unfortunately, many of the churches we are at now are dead, with no demonstration of the Spirit and of power. Therefore, what these churches are using is enticing words of man wisdom and not the Word of God. And the reason it is able to lure you in is because: the flesh is not dead.
Unless the flesh is dead, you cannot walk with Jesus. Christ cannot work with you. You will be double-minded, a person who is unstable. James said it here: “A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.”
James 1:8 KJV
http://bible.com/1/jas.1.8.kjv 
We cannot walk with Christ unless flesh is dead. And it is because flesh is not dead that we stay in a place that seems 'comfortable' to ourselves. Ourselves. Not the Will of God. Once the Will of God swallows up your will, you will do everything to please Jesus. Whether it's doing a job at work, or eating your food, do it to please Jesus. 

Do not stay in a dead church! Go to where the demonstration of the Holy Spirit and of power is!

Humble Is Best!

Direct my footsteps according to your Word; let no sin rule over me. Psalm 119:133  |  NIV   We need to let God's Word rule our lives, directing our footsteps on our journey through life. God is our Director leading us-even of the path LOOKS right, it doesn't mean it IS right. God knows best so we shouldn't be no-it-alls. Humble your self!

What makes faith work? Learn MORE about faith in this devotional...

"That according to the riches of His glory, He may grant you to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith..." - Ephesians 3:16-17 KJV Okay. I wanted to talk a little bit more on faith. When Paul writes 'dwell in your hearts through faith' what does it mean? This means that we have to show our confidence and belief in Christ, before He comes into our hearts. He knows when we want to trick Him or not. So don't bother being cunning! Because wisdom comes from the Lord! So, if our human efforts cannot make faith to work, what can? (Zechariah 4:6) Our confidence and belief in Jesus! We just have to say, "Jesus, take care of this for me. I don't want to any more. I can't do it by my own power." Acknowledging that you can't do it alone, gives you the first step forward. Then comes the hard bit. When I mean hard, I mean HARD. Because most people people fall away aft...

Black = Normal post Bold = Question  "Call unto Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." - Jeremiah 33:3.  Many people either don't believe in God, or become atheists, partly because of this question: Why doesn't God answer some of my prayers?  Answer: This is because of your heart.

Ask yourself these questions and their surely will be an answer.  But why must I ask myself these questions?  " So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart" - 2 Timothy 2:22    If we are not thinking good thoughts or have sinned by mistake or not, we have sta...
