There is a sin which quietly moves with great strength among us while remaining hidden throughout its term. I speak of doing God's work according to the natural. This is a very slippery topic because once we are embedded into the spiritual this becomes a new line of natural as well.
The problem is that if locked into the fleshly, the flesh regards and promotes those as spiritual when they are not. They are man-made rules simply called spiritual.
Thus, the great strain as well as the greater heist of faith.
Being aware of my own severe inadequacies, may I run ideas by you which might awaken to permit the hand of God to become freer in and for our own walk?
The flesh is bossy. It insists it is right and it is the only one right. Therefore, the flesh makes up rules (laws) as to how things will go and what combination will produce.
On the other hand, the spirit is willing to yield to the bossiness of the flesh. Like God, it will wait in the wings ready to break in when given permission.
By the flesh, we constantly block the hand of God. The flesh prays little because it believes in its own ability. The flesh makes meager financial contribution because is has high regard for its economical astuteness. The flesh reads very little of the Word because it gets that do this to go to heaven stuff; but has bigger fish to fry for now; like raising kids and holding down a job.
When one opens to the provision of God, the flesh yields to the spirit world and the hand of God then opens to display incredible opportunity. One becomes open to prayer, to giving, to study and an assortment of new avenues because there is confidence in the Holy Spirit rather than man's controlling rules.
May we unlock the closed hand of God. May we dare walk into the spiritual arena which holds no explanation; only mystery.
The WOW factor of God is always, everyday, and constant. Let us live there!
