Voice of Reason

God morning! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me David Mitchell II on this Tuesday September 1, 2009. I originally had this particular passage blocked out only for one day, but after looking over it again I seen that it was full of the goodness that it should be split up into too parts. Let me ask you this question , during your walk in Christ have you noticed that you have two sets of instincts? If you haven't, you do. I know that may sound kind of crazy, but its true. One is the flesh and the other is the Spirit. They are both yelling at you constantly, swaying you in either direction, navigating our lives down their inevitable path. Now to put it into a better perspective think of it as one saying “go ahead and do it" while the other is normally telling you “stop that's wrong”. And our free Will is left there to decide which one to listen to. Can you tell them apart? One of the differentiating characteristics is that the flesh is the one that never shuts up. It will continue until it convinces you that it is the right thing to do. the Spirit will continue to speak, but its voice will begin to get drowned out by all the noise of the flesh. On the other hand, the Spirit will convict you before you even make a decision and you will feel guilty and you have not done anything yet. So you can determine what kind of person you are by the voice you listen to. If you listen to the voice of the flesh that gives that immediate gratification overlooking the consequences of your actions, which will lead you to death. Or you could choose to hearken to voice of reason, which gives you a delayed reward with life and peace in the end. So which one do you listen to? Let me give you a hint. Jesus condemned sin to the flesh, so any decision made out of the flesh will ALWAYS be the wrong decision. But, hey you have free will, you choose. Please read Romans 8:1-3 KJV

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free for the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
