BE STRONG IN THE SPIRIT

Power is released as you focus on His presence in you. The sure way to overcome the wiles of the flesh is to focus on His presence within you. He will give you the power to overcome all weaknesses of the flesh. God not only saves you but gives you the ability to live the saved life. Too many rely on their flesh to live the spiritual life. Only the Spirit is able to live the spiritual life. Just as you need tools to equip you to do a physical task so also you need the gifts of the Spirit to live a spiritual life. In Him you have all you need to live this life in the Spirit. The Spirit covers the flesh and controls the flesh. When you by faith reckon your flesh life dead then the Spirit will lead you in a path that enables you to forsake all and follow Him. This is why Jesus commanded us to forsake all things, take up our cross and follow Him. This kind of life is not for the weak but for the strong in faith. He will make you strong by His Spirit who dwells within you. When you walk in ignorance then you become weak and allow the devil to molest you. In His Word you become strong, for His word contains the life and the spirit to walk the walk.
