How cautious we must be about us. We are a mess. I don't speak from a critical heart; but more of a biblical one. The flesh is enemy territory to the Spirit and we walk around in such garb 24/7.
The mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace....Romans. 8:6.
We must be ever mindful regarding the poor influence the flesh has upon church direction, doctrine, and mission. The flesh is highly jealous to the extent it thinks nothing of imposition to Spirit ways.
However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. And if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness....Romans 8:9-10.
We are called to be on guard against leading out on spiritual matters from the flesh...for the flesh is biased against the things of the Spirit of God. The church has suffered deadly consequences due to the flesh's pride that the Spirit no longer works actively among us.
This teaching did not come from the Word of God. It came from voices boldly, yet mistakenly, calling from bossy, self-preserving flesh.
