“For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.” Romans 8:5
Many times you and I create our own problems. What happens you have a desire to do something which sounds good and you proceed. Then things go crazy and you find yourself out of the will of God.
There is a very subtle change that occurs in your inner being when you make decisions out of your feelings and ignore the counsel of the Holy Spirit.
You rationalize this seems like a good idea but the end result turns out to be misery and destruction. In reality, you are accepting a temptation from Satan who makes you think all is well.
It is like shifting gears from God to self and when this happens you lose the protection of almighty God. Remember, your human mind operating out of self is an enemy against God and is not subject to the laws of God.
If you choose to live in oneness with God through the Holy Spirit you will experience life and peace. This happens because you are disciplined in this spiritual truth; “In Him we live and move and have our being”. You are grounded in the Living God and pleasing Him with your actions.
The best course of action is to take every thought (or decision) captive to the obedience of Christ Jesus.
Jesus is omniscient and He wants you to have clear sailing ahead!
