By Your Spirit I Willingly Lay Down My Life

Let us look at Galatians 5:24-25 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us walk in step with the Spirit. We are being taught to discern the attitude of our hearts. Hebrews 4:9-16 Hebrews 5:13-14 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. Sometimes we may need to talk about some issue going on in our lives but most of the time it’s self gratification and right there is your reward. The Bible says that pride comes before a fall; I will say pride comes before you crash. Pride rises with or without situations it is subtle and exists in everyone but like Paul said he practiced keeping his body under control that is how we are to live. Know God, Know Jesus, know the Holy Spirit, and know you. You are born of water and spirit. Trees of Righteousness a planting of the Lord Isaiah 61:1-4 1The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified. And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations. Hebrews 1:9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. Hebrews 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? What did Jesus say about those who try to keep their lives? Mark 8:33-35 Take up Your Cross But Jesus, turning and looking at His disciples, rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind Me, Satan! For you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.” Then Jesus called the crowd to Him along with His disciples, and He told them, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and for the gospel will save it.
