Do you want to walk dominated by The Holy Spirit or walk according to the flesh and self interest? Contained in Romans chapter 8 is a checklist for the Sons and Daughters to live by. Either we fully pursue the fullness or we will digress to the ways of the world. It is our choice. Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit:
7 It is a fact and the absolute Truth, the mind-set focused on the flesh fights GOD’S plan and refuses to submit to HIS direction, because it cannot! 8 For no matter how hard they try, GOD finds no pleasure with those who are controlled by the flesh. 9 But when the Spirit of Christ empowers your life, you are not dominated by the flesh but by the Spirit. And if you are not joined to the Spirit of the Anointed One, you are not of Him.
10 Now Christ lives his life in you! And even though your body may be dead because of the effects of sin, his life-giving Spirit imparts life to you because you are fully accepted by GOD. 11 Yes, GOD raised Jesus to life! And since GOD’S Spirit of Resurrection lives in you, He will also raise your dying body to life by the same Spirit that breathes life into you!
12 So then, beloved ones, the flesh has no claims on us at all, and we have no further obligation to live in obedience to it. 13 For when you live controlled by the flesh, you are about to die. But if the life of the Spirit puts to death the corrupt ways of the flesh, we then taste His abundant life.
14 The mature children of GOD are those who are moved by the impulses of the Holy Spirit.
If you fight FATHER’S plan, you are subjecting yourself to corruption and death. Peace will always be just out of reach as you pursue the ways of the world.
If you align yourself with FATHER’S plan for your life, peace will flood your soul and you will gain clarity as the world speaks forth its lies. The world has reframed the word “lies” by using the term “disinformation”. They even water down their wicked ways to make them more palatable to the unsuspecting populous.
As we pursue walking in the fullness of The Holy Spirit, we will lose friends but also gain new friends. We will no longer be subject to the generational curses perpetuated by our families over time. We will no longer accept evil words being spoken over us for they will no longer be enforceable in our lives.
When I first received the revelation of generational curses and how they get transferred from generation to generation, I felt victimized by those family members who kept walking in the flesh according to the curses. I am no longer a victim and have overcome and annulled those curses in my family. “The buck stopped with me.” Familiar spirits have lost their stronghold on my family ties and had to depart from our midst.
As I pray in The Holy Spirit, I build myself up in my spirit as it is written in Jude 1:
20 But you, my delightfully loved friends, constantly and progressively build yourselves up on the foundation of your most holy faith by praying every moment in the Spirit. 21 Fasten your hearts to the love of GOD and receive the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who gives us eternal life.
When we pray in the Holy Spirit, we fasten our hearts to HIS Love. What a promise! I don’t pray in Tongues out of duty, I pray in Tongues because I seek to become fully mature in Agape Love. This is the true key to success.
