VOT: May 21, 2024-Win in the Spirit “No Profit in the flesh” Man is a Spirit being, he possesses a Soul (Mind) and lives in the flesh. The flesh is the least of importance and must be given the least attention. While the Spirit lives forever, the flesh decays on earth where it came from and returns to. When you have a good understanding of this reality, you will intentionally walk in the Spirit and nurture it more than the flesh. There is constant war or contention between the flesh and the spirit. It is our responsibility to subdue our flesh and be strengthened in spirit. The Spirit of God is always drawing or attracting men as magnet. However, He is gentle and cannot force anyone. Nugget When you are spiritually sensitive, you can lay hold of the best of Heaven’s blessings because your spirit is directly connected or plugged on to the socket of the Holy Spirit. No battle can be won when fought in the flesh. It is written that the weapons of our warfare are not canal, but rather, they are spiritual. God Has commanded us and expects us to contend and fight with spiritual weapons and not canal weapons. Canal weapons: Examples of canal weapons are: arguments, quarrels, backbiting, slandering, malice, enmity, hatred, bitterness. Spiritual Weapons: Examples of spiritual weapons are: meditation and confession of the Word, prayer and fasting, self control, praying in tongues. “This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭25‬ ‭KJV‬‬. “Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms;” ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭51‬:‭20‬ ‭KJV. “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭5‬:‭4‬-‭5‬ ‭KJV. “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” ‭‭John‬ ‭6‬:‭63‬ ‭KJV‬‬. “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; and having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭3‬-‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬
