Battle 20 of 365: Our most important daily battle is fought in our mind. Our mind is where we meet with God - where we consider God - where we fellowship with God. HOWEVER, our mind also gives birth to sin. THEREFORE, we battle through obedience and quick repentance, so that our mind is a holy temple, and not a place where sin is able to relax. In the Book of Romans chapter eight the Apostle Paul teaches us, as he tells us: "Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit." Here we clearly see two ways in which we can live our life, and go through our day. We can live according to the flesh, or we can live according to the Spirit. Even believers can have seasons where they walk too much according to the flesh, and that can be very dangerous and destructive for ourselves, and for those near to us. We must make a clear stand., throughout each day, to walk according to the Spirit. This means that we are actively and decisively following the Spirit of God within us, which is us following the will of God, as we learn HIS will for us. This is us following our Good Shepherd through HIS word. Then we read: "For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace." These are real results of decisions that we make. If we allow sin to occupy our mind it will be harsh spiritual death, and that would be an absolute disaster. We are meant to honor God and worship God and obey God, for HIS glory. Sin can quickly wreak havoc in our lives and families, if we are not ready and alert. Finally we are told: "Because the carnal mind is enmity against God (in opposition); 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." If we are living in submission to God, then the Holy Spirit is alive and active in our life, and not being quenched or extinguished. THEN we are IN THE SPIRIT, and that is the greatest place to be. Lord, please help us understand how to be spiritually minded. Please give us passionate hearts that are ready to take authority over our minds, in Your strength. We desire life and victory! We desire Your will and glory! Please use us for Your glory! Thank You Lord. Please pour Your grace out upon us TODAY. I know that our access to the throne of grace is through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Battle 14 of 365: The greatest gift we can offer our families is our humble faithfulness to God, which in turn, allows us to offer up very effective prayers on their behalf. We must be an effective minister of Christ, praying for others, as we maintain a holy temple of God within ourselves, as we labor with obedience and quick repentance to keep the temple of our mind undefiled. This is important, because our mind is where we meet with God. TODAY we will consider this miracle of Jesus from Luke chapter five: "Now it happened on a certain day, as HE was teaching, that there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present to heal them. Then behold, men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed, whom they sought to bring in and lay before HIM. And when they could not find how they might bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the housetop and let him down with his bed through the tiling into the midst before Jesus." Then we read these amazing words: "When HE saw their faith, HE said to him, 'Man, your sins are forgiven you." Jesus noticed the faith of these men, and it meant something. This man was given a grace that did more than just physically heal HIM. This man tasted the grace of God, and was forgiven, and spiritually healed. The grace of God that moved on people before the CROSS, was a grace that moved, because the promise of the sin payment was SURE. This is amazing! Our faith, on behalf of someone near to us, could possibly allow for grace to be poured out upon that struggling soul. When our faith is strong, and the fruits of our faith in God are made evident, our prayers suddenly become tremendously effective. In the Book of James chapter five we are told plainly: "The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." The prayers of a humble - repentant - innocent - obedient child of God will accomplish much, as we aggressively pray for those given to us by God to pray for. This should set off alarms for us. If we know that our prayers can accomplish much, and move grace towards someone near to us, then we have every reason to be holy, and pray more. Finally we read from Luke, as Jesus Proclaims: "Which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven you,' or to say, 'Rise up and walk'? But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins --HE said to the man who was paralyzed, 'I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.' Immediately he rose up before them." Lord, please grow our faith in You. And may our faith compel us to follow You, and obey You, with an aggressive obedience. Please use our prayers to accomplish much in the lives of those near to us. You are great and compassionate, and we must praise You! Thank You Lord. Please pour Your grace out upon us TODAY. I know that our access to the throne of grace is through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
