Operating in the Spirit

12/6/06 Operate in the Spirit
Make a check of the state of your heart each day. From the heart arise the real issues in life. If the state of your heart is sick then it will produce sick fruits. If the state of your heart is ripe with fruit then it will be fruitful. God is the God of the moment and of eternity. When you trust in Him then rivers of living water will flow out of you. For too long you have relied on your own strength. This is not the way God designed you. God designed you to be dependent on Him. He will see you through every step of the way. God wants your heart and this is why He sent Jesus. Jesus has to be all and only to you. This is the only way to be His glory. You are God’s glory. He will provide all you need. A materialistic age will look to things for fulfilment. A man walking in the spirit has his eyes fixed in the eternal. It is short sighted to only think of this life. Many fail and loose heart because they have no eternal vision. This material age will all pass away. What is new today is old tomorrow. So why bother to set goals for material gain. Your Kingdom is in heaven. Fix your eyes in heaven and you will live a heavenly life on earth. The kingdom of God is within you and therefore you can enjoy kingdom pleasures right now in the spirit. Your brain is just a vehicle of your spirit. Your brain is not the end of everything. There is much more to life then the physical. Therefore operate in the spirit and do not give into your fleshly desires.
