Why do we do the things we do and say? Quite a question, isn't it? Do we understand the war that goes on in our inner being as it relates to doing what is right or wrong? Do we, in obedience to our inner voice which is our conscience, endeavor to do what is right contrary to what many say is just old fashion and needs to be done away with? Paul let's us know, in 1 Thess. 5:23, that mankind has a threefold nature, a very interesting thing. Note! What God's word says, "Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless". Praise God, this is beautiful! We are body, soul, and spirit. We all understand that we relate to the outside world through the five senses that each of us have. At the very heart of our being is our spiritual side, the conscience, where the voice of God speaks to each of us and endeavors to guide us. Read Rom 8:14. In the arena of our soul, we will make up our mind whether we obey the voice of God or the flesh. Understand, to obey the flesh brings about disobedience to God and to obey opens the door for the blessings of heaven; God help us not to allow the fleshly man to control us but to be obedient to the great spirit of God. Again, read Rom. 8:14. Oh! For His touch on our lives. With a lot of Love, Pastor Durden |
