Healthy Thinking Day 19 - The Kingdom of God

I had it on my heart today to challenge you about your thinking and actions.

Galatians 5 v 16 say " so I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh."

Its not always nice reading or hearing a scripture like that and I talk for myself as well. those are the scriptures we don't want to hear often because they challenge the way we think, act and live.

The scripture says we should walk by the Spirit of God. Now lets deal with that quick. HOW DO I WALK BY THE SPIRIT???? The answer is found in Gal 5 verse 22 and 23. "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Therefore to walk in the Spirit is to walk with these attributes always showing up in your daily living and actions towards others.

Now lets talk about walking in the flesh. The answer is also found in the portion of scripture. Gal 5 verse 19 to 21. All the things that are opposite to what it means to walk in the Spirit. Lets take it a step farther!!! If we do anything that contradicts the word of God is walking in the flesh.

The reason we don't wan to walk in the flesh is because we want to inherit the kingdom of God. Some may think this means we wont see heaven one day but this is not the case. We wont inherit the Kingdom of God hear on earth. Lets look at a portion of The Lords Prayer. It says " Let your will be done and your KIMGDOM come here on EARTH as it is in heaven. My friends God wants us to live in heaven on earth while we occupy our earth suites. He wants us to have the best and be the best we can be while we live lives in awe of Him, Glorifying His name.

Today put aside the things of the flesh and walk in the Spirit so that you can live in the Kingdom of God (Heaven on earth)

Now Go!!!
