WORD for Today!!
Good Morning everyone!! It is going to be an awesome day today!! AMEN!!
In Galations 5:1,13-18, it reads,
"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself." If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other. So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law."
I encourage all of you to examine yourselfs, your lives and food choices!! Have you allowed yourself to let old food habits back in? We were once enslaved to food, lets evaluate our food intake again and make sure that we have not allowed those things to control us or enslave us again!! Because Jesus died on the cross so that we may have life and have it more abundantly!! We have been given a second chance to live, lets make the most of it and be free!!
Did you know that your spirit is at war with your body?? Many times, physically we want to sleep, not go to church, not bless someone who needs a blessing, not minister to the neighbor who is going through a hard time. But in the spirit, we know we are to do these very things. Our flesh is at war with the spirit!! So that you don't do, what the Spirit desires to!!! BUT as the scripture says, if you are led by the spirit, you will do that which is according to the Spirit, not the flesh!! We are called to be free!!! Lets begin to live in freedom and not again be enslaved to that which is not of Him!!!
My prayer for you today is that you would get back on track with making good food choices, have wisdom to make the decisions that are before you and that you would know you are loved!!!
I love you all!!!
