Set your mind on the Spirit

I think far too often i get caught up in the world, and the things of it, it seems so easy to do because it is right there in my face whereas God is right there but more mysterious and i have to draw near to Him to feel Him drawing Nearer to me...

Romans 8:5-11

For those who live according to the flesh set their mind on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

For to be carnally minded is DEATH, but to be spiritually mindes is LIFE and peace.
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.
So then those who are in the flesh CANNOT please God.

But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.
And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is LIFE because of righteousness.
But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

Feeding the flesh is a bad bad thing, and by dwelling and focusing on lustful thoughts, jealousy, angriness, slothfulness, being lazy, getting annoyed and being offended, and the list goes on just puts us on the path of drawing away from God.
All this stuff is fleshly thinking and dwelling on it is going to make you fall so far from God so fast you will be surprised when you even realise it happened.

Dwelling on Gods word on the other hand will help you to stay foccused, to stay away from that kind of thinking and cause your Spirit to grow, to be come SO STRONG and to be able to beat all of that stuff out of your head!

Stay strong Everyone

God loves you and is watching over you all!
