Gal 5:17 kjv For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh:and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things ye would. Rom 7:19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Rom 8:5-6 For they that are after the flesh mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For the carnally minded is death; but to be Spiritually minded is life and peace.
==(Carnally Minded) worldly, earthly and temporal things== Remember now that any thing that is of this world, or earth is only for a little while and the same with sin.. Sin's feelings will it's moment last only for a season. "When God says enough rest assure it's enough." To act in sin and staying carnally minded the result is death especially for the non born again believers. So what about Christians who are born again and continue to sin?
1. The blessings will have or become of non existence or complete cut off,
2. God can bring upon your life "conviction" and or if your heart is callus then you may notice what use to be blessings in your life stop and you'll see some curses appear such as unexplained mishap's like flat tires on your car or higher bills or injuries...etc kinda leading of a punishment.
Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Mt 6:24 for NO man can serve two masters: for either he will love the one, and hate the other; or else he will hold to the one , and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
mammon --> false god
statement.. starting from the book of Gen. from Adam and Eve; I believe that God gave everyone the ability to pick & chose your own direction & your own free will, that's what makes us all individually unique. Just like you can chose to listen to Southern Gospel Music, or Praise and Worship Music or Contemporary even rap, country, jazz, folk, hip-hop, techno, elevator music, rock, soft rock, electric, hard rock, heavy metal, classical, oldies, ...etc.. good or bad.. You can listen to all good, or all bad and nasty or even both. Here's the thing when you chose to do all bad or good and bad this is what happens...
Rev 3:16 So then because thou are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will puke out of my mouth.
All hot and cold / good and bad is reviewed to God's standards to be all bad and all bad to be bad. Example why cuss some one out and immediately pray for forgiveness and do it again?? what did you accomplish?? That is call habitual sin and God isn't please with that. That is using God's forgiveness as a crutch to wipe away the bad so you can do it again. The title of the message is it's either all for God or not at all.. How do you review your own individual life with God? are you giving God your all?
" I know habitual sins are hard to overcome sometimes " Phil 4:13. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Are you bouncing in and out of doing good and bad at the same time? if so that means your probably casually walking with the Lord. Of-course we're not all where we need to be in Christ yet by reading these scriptures I hope will help open up the heart's condition between you and Christ so that you'll develop an intimate relationship that will become unshakeable. Bottom line: Are you giving God your all? Here's how you can tell !
1. Praying for increasing for the body of Christ; inviting others, showing up to Church with them, being friendly
2. Praying, giving your tithes and offerings to the Lord with a cheerful Heart
3. Confess your sins one to another, asking forgiveness and pray for one another, and ask Forgiveness from God. 4. Reading your bible, study your bible daily asking that God give you the divine understanding of the Word of God, praying for wisdom, understanding, concentration, with a teachable heart, mind and Spirit so you might be able to listen, hear and understand.
5. rejoicing in the Lord and worship God, praise God's name with a whole heart, all your mind and soul asking God to bless the lips of your mouth so in return you can praise and bless God with music and song
6. Be sure to thank God for what He has done, for what's being done presently and what God said He would do ..remember God said He'd go and prepare a place for you.. God said He'd never leave you nor forsake you..Phil 4:19 ..scripture also reminds us that He'd supply all our needs accordingly..."that's always something to praise God's name for". 7. Lift holy hands that's an act of surrendering your life to Jesus, clap your hands for God makes you happy, sing for the Lord for God placed a Joyful Spirit in you that's all yours, and cry out to Jesus for He wants to hear your heart and voice as it's in an humble state as like a child wanting their moms / dads..
Be sure to Give God all you can for God because He sent His only begotten son Jesus. The only one true child born of a virgin Mary, to take everyone's place who was sinless and despised. Jesus was lead up the Hill where at Golgotha, where He wore a crown of thorns. It was there Jesus, was nailed to the Cross by his hands and feet, then lifted up and hung, beaten, battered, spit on and mocked. It was the sixth hour darkness fell and the nineth hour "He cried out" MY GOD, My God, why have you forsaken me."
It was at that moment Jesus had surely passed and then the earth began to quake, rocks rent. From the Cross Jesus was placed in the tomb, and at the burial 3 days later the stone was rolled away, the empty tomb was empty there where the (resurrection took place).. Death has been defeated, and Hell was been conquered. The Grave couldn't hold the one true King.! Because, Jesus has now paid all our sin debt. Our sins, which by Jesus can be washed away. Therefore by the Blood of Jesus that was shed. The love of Christ has covered the multitude of sin, and this was only cable by Jesus Christ alone. LET'S PRAISE GOD for HIS SON JESUS with ALL WE HAVE within US....
I hope this message helped touch someone's life.
Finally ...Hebrews 13:15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of Praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to HIS NAME.. AMEN!
