I want to focus on Col. 3: 5-14 and break some things down. I've been on a mission of dying to my flesh and it's been a roller coaster. As Children of God we're called to die to the old self and put on the new self and walk accordingly. There was an old nature we lived in, but as new creatures, we can only survive in our new habitat.
What do you do when the old you starts pulling on the new you?
Fight back with prayer, praise, and the word of God.
As humans we have a 3 parts that dictate how we use our freewill to make choices. The flesh, the soul, and the spirit.
Our flesh is based on our 5 senses and so we act on what is appealing to those things.
The soul functions on emotions and how we feel motivates how we react to situations.
Then there's our spirit, the part that connects to our Father to be more like him and tap into his power.
Brothers and sisters these areas are no easy task to tackle.
My hunger for the God must demolish the hunger I have for the things of this world.
The way I feel should not outweigh the love I feel about my Faithful Father.
I should be led by his spirit and let the spirit he's given me, transform the Old Me into New Me.
Make no mistake there'll be a constant battle between our flesh and our spirit until the day we die, BUT we have the upper hand.
In the word of God there are tools we can use to crucify those things and move forward, instead of always looking back and being haunted by the ghosts of our past.
Remember YOU ARE BRAND SPANKIN NEW!
THE OLD YOU IS DEAD AND BURIED.
BUT, if you're not careful you might find yourself going back to the grave site and digging up the old you and creating a monster.
So act like the NEW YOU and forget the OLD YOU.
Because the NEW YOU looks good on you..................Don't be shy POSE!!!!
Stand out or blend in the choice is yours, but as for me EWWWW I'M FEELING BRAND NEW.
signing off, THE NEW CREATION
