Thank you Jesus for your word. Lord I thank you for continuing to lead me to be more spiritually minded. I encourage all who reads this blog to be blessed in Jesus name. Ask yourself  "Am I following the things of the world? Or am I following the things that are of Jesus? In this world we live in, we get so caught up in this cares of this life, that we don't take the time to really grow in the spiritual realm. How are we ever going to know God if we don't reach for him in the spiritual realm.

Word of  Inspiration from Romans 8:5-8
"For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of god, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God."

There it is, you have it now from the written word of God, they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

God tells us not to be carnally minded. We are to be spiritual minded. The carnal minded person is one who is concerned with the affairs of this life [temporal] more than the affairs of the life to come and his life in Christ [eternal]. For the mind that is carnal thinks on, values, perceives, and is obsessed with worldly things--money, possessions, sex, reputation among men, foods and drinks not for the survival of the person but survival for the very eating and drinking of these things, which order is corrupted. The carnal mind wars against the laws of God, it is not subject to the law of God and neither indeed can be. [Rom. 8:7]

So we can see that if we continue to strive for the things of the things of this world, is not going to matter with God, we are daily killing ourselves. We all need to start to  question ourselves before we decide to move without God leading us. Ask yourself, will doing this get me into heaven eternally, is this the way God want me(us) to live, or is serving the flesh pleasing to us at the moment. Every moment we strive for the cares of this life, we are dying spiritually. God's word tells us for  to be carnally minded is death.If we are following the things that are in the flesh we are not pleasing God. If we are constantly worried about gaining this world's goods, this world's way of living without God; we need to come to God in prayer and ask for God to inervene so that we can make the right choice to serve him and not the flesh. We cannot serve God and mammon. We can't live for the world and expect to move up in Jesus and moreso be with him in the new heaven and the earth to come.

At this moment we need to set our affections on things above and not on the things of this Earth. May God conitinue to bless your walk with him.

Until next time be blessed.
