The contradiction between your flesh and the Spirit!

“Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.” John 3:6

The word from God today is the contradiction relating to your walk with Jesus.

You and I live in a state of contradiction and this condition will never leave you on this earth.

You were born with an inner condition to live for self and defy God. 

Jesus provides you with the ability to overcome this contradiction. You have to be born of the Spirit of Christ. The decision for Jesus seals you with the Holy Spirit. He is the life of Christ. 

The Spirit baptizes you into the life of Christ. You become a new creature in Christ Jesus and the Spirit transforms you into the character of Jesus.

This is where the contradiction becomes intense. You have to make a choice between living for self or living under the influence of the Holy Spirit. 

We all vacillate between these two opposing forces and fail God many times.

The solution to this contradiction is to be deeply rooted in the Holy Spirit. This happens by giving Him authority over your life and requires vigilant prayer, living in His Word and listening to His voice. 

The Holy Spirit will show you how to compare spiritual things with spiritual. 

The Holy Spirit teaches you the truths of God and how to apply the values of Jesus in your life. God wants to interact with you in all the moments of life where you have to deal with relationships, making decisions, and avoiding compulsive behaviors. 

The ephaney of a Christ follower is to understand God wants to engage you in a vibrant and intimate relationship. He lives in you, wants to speak with you and guide your pathway. 

He is a Living Christ!
