TOPIC ✨ REFUSE TO BE LIMITED BY THE FLESH ✨
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit (Romans 8:5).
As a Christian, you’re not to live by the dictates of the flesh. You’re not called to respond to life on the basis of what you feel, see, or experience physically; you’re called to live from your spirit. The flesh will always try to impose limitations of age, weakness, ill health, and lack, but you’re of the Spirit and not of the flesh.
Recall the words of the Lord Jesus in John 3:6, “That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” You’re born of the Spirit; you’re not defined by your body, and you’re not limited by physical conditions; you’re enabled by the life of God in you.
Some judge their lives by the feelings in their bodies; they say, “I feel weak,” “I feel tired,” “I can’t do this.” But that’s living from the flesh. You don’t live by how you feel; you live by who you are. You don’t respond to the emotions or sensations of the flesh; you respond to the Word.
The Bible says, “For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day” (2 Corinthians 4:16). Your outward man may be weakening, but your inward man, the real you, is renewed daily. Your spirit is constantly rejuvenated, full of strength and divine vitality.
No wonder Paul, by the Spirit, tells us in Romans 8:11 that if the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, that same Spirit shall vitalize your mortal body. And thanks be unto God, He lives in you; therefore, your body is quickened, energized, and made alive by His Spirit that dwells in you. Blessed be God!
Refuse to accept limitations. Refuse to speak weakness. Refuse to align yourself with the senses. You have a life that’s beyond this world; therefore, live from within, from your spirit, and you’ll walk in strength and victory because your life is governed by the Spirit of God who lives in you.
CONFESSION
Dear Father, thank you for teaching me to live from my spirit. I refuse to be limited by the flesh or by natural conditions. I walk in the consciousness of who I am in Christ; I live above this world and its disabling influences. I walk in the dominion of the Spirit, manifesting the Christ-life in me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY
Romans 8:5-6 KJV
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. [6] For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 KJV
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. [17] For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; [18] While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
Romans 8:10-11 KJV
And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. [11] But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
