“To be controlled by human nature results in death; to be controlled by the Spirit results in life and peace… Those who obey their human nature cannot please God.” Romans 8:6, 8 (GNT)
Ephesians 5:15-16 “Be very careful how you live, not as unwise, but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.”
Solomon prayed, “O LORD, God of Israel, there is no God like You in all of heaven and earth. You keep Your promises and show unfailing love to all who obey You and are eager to do Your will.” 2 Chronicles 6:14
Our God is a God of unfailing love, mercy and compassion. He has kept all His promises to His people Israel. His way is perfect, all the LORD'S promises prove true. He is a shield for all who look to Him for protection. 2 Samuel 22:31
One of the things that can hinder you from thriving in your current season is fear. Fear is a valid emotion. You need fear to warn you of danger—to alert you when things aren’t quite right. But fear is not valid when it begins to control you. Your transformed mind needs to set the course of your life, not your emotions. Fear is a very unpredictable emotion. It can manifest itself in many ways, and if left unattended, it can rob you of joy, immobilize you in your home and destroy your life.
Every real father desires to reproduce himself in his son. Our Heavenly Father’s dream is to reproduce Himself in us. You understand that the New Creation has received the nature and life of the Father.
We invite the Holy Spirit, who has imparted to us this Nature from the Father, to come into our body and make His home in us, then as we begin to feed on the Word, practice the Word, live the Word, He builds that Word into us.
