“Living In The Flesh”
(No inheritance)
“ 19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. “
(Gal. 5:19-21)
It appears to be quite easy to see if I am living in the flesh. The characteristics of someone living in the flesh is quite obvious. It’s also obvious that one cannot be saved and also living in the flesh. To actually have the ineheritance of god , the characteristics will bear fruit. There would be no room for acts of the flesh. There would be unbearable conviction by the Holy spirit.
I need to check myself daily to see if I am living in the flesh. I need to purge myself of all fleshly behaviors and attitudes. I declare that I am a son of god and have inherited the kingdom of God through Jesus Christ. There is no room in my life for the fleshly desires pleasures.
“Mighty God. Help me to purge my life. Help me to be honest with myself and to recognize and discern undesirable behaviors of the flesh. Help me to be strong and to overcome and die to the flesh. Thank you God. Thank you for the gift of the guide and the comforter.”
