For far too long, I thought I could drag my flesh into the Kingdom. Can’t be done. That is why the Bible says to crucify the flesh.
There was a time when I coveted sympathy for what I was going through. Not anymore. God showed me where that desire will get a person…Stuck in miry clay.
Satan won’t tell us this but it’s true and he conceals it with clever lies: “For my yoke is impossibly hard, and my burden is suffocatingly heavy.” He is the antithesis of Jesus.
Annie and I used to live so double-minded we were no good to the Kingdom in so many ways. And we lived a miserable existence. Only when we began to see what was happening to us did we begin to make the effort to renew our minds so we could breakthrough to the other side…The Kingdom.
I’ve had two migraine attacks in the last day and a half. I’m telling you this because I want you to praise and thank God I’ve had them like the Bible says to do in so many places including Ephesians 5:20. We must learn to walk in the Spirit. God’s ways are not our ways – not even close. And if you pray for me, lift up your prayer to the prayer basin in Heaven, leave it there and go on with your day praising and thanking God for everything. Be joyful. God is working all things together for our good. We can live like He’s really doing what He promises to do. Amen? The Kingdom is upside down and totally backwards to the ways of this world and our flesh. It’s time we get set free from the world and the flesh and the only way to do that is to “do” what the Spirit says to do. I hope this is making sense to everyone. Stop living the worlds ways that only bring you down and defeat you. Live ABOVE in the Spirit. Breakthrough to the other side. Praise God in all things.
Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Ephesians 5:20
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Matthew 11:28-30
Remember, Jesus came to break us free from the super difficult yoke and heavy burdens the enemy places in our lives.
Hallelujah.
Thanking and praising God in all things,
Mark
