Today's encouragement: Doing the correct thing doesn't always come with preferable feelings. For example, the real feeling of dread (unwillingness) to do something can be felt in the midst of having to do it anyway because it's the correct thing to do. The feeling of unwillingness to do it combined with the unrestless-nagging sense of doing it anyway acknowledges the humanity part of man (the flesh) waking up saying "don't do it" while the divine part of man (the spirit) says "do it". Jesus, fully God and man, serving as a perfect example then and now illustrated the humanity part of man (the flesh) and the divine part of man (the spirit) sharing the same house (the human body) one part (the flesh) waking up attempting to do the incorrect thing and the other part (the spirit) attempting to do the correct thing (being willing here as an example) believing for the spirit to put the flesh back to sleep. When he (your flesh) inflicts non-preferable feelings, let him (your spirit) put him (your flesh) back to sleep so you can endure doing the correct thing. You and your families have a beautiful day!
P.S.- What simplifies-less spiritualizes this concept is simply reading your Holy Bible and allowing the scriptures to identify to you the distinction between the incorrect (fleshly issues) and correct (spiritual issues.) Also remember, the rhema word will not contradict the logos word which greatly helps determine no error verse error. You and your families have a beautiful day!
"Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak" Matthew 26:41
"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of man: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross" Philippians 2:5-8
