I WANT TO LOOK SEXY TODAY!
There are those individuals that believe the saying, "God helps those who help themselves". Yes, I do help them once in a while, but they are not very successful in the kingdom. Where ever they help themselves they produce wood, hay and stubble. Ok, I am already perceiving your thoughts with that same old, "God gave us a brain to use", statement. Yes I did and you corrupted it! And now it's useless, because it's totally carnal and "to be carnally minded is death;... [7] Because the carnal mind is My enemy: for it is not subject to My law, neither indeed can it be." Romans 8:6-7 (KJV)
Most believers in the west, pick and choose what they will include in their daily schedule, and if time allows let Me choose something for the kingdom. Everything they choose will at best only benefit their natural temporary self, but not their eternal spirit man. Understanding the full meaning, "go with the flow" will set you on a course high above the average western believer. Just like Daniel and his men, "I gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom, and Daniel had understanding in all kinds of visions and dreams." Daniel 1:17 (AMP)
Their carnal brain said, wow! look at the food the king eats, let's dig in! But I said, tell them, no thanks! Most western believers would respond, "What are you crazy, there's no sin in eating a fantastic meal". Yes there is now! Once I said, tell them, no thanks, it became a sin to eat it. "So, because they obeyed, at the end of ten days it was seen that they were looking better and had taken on more flesh than all the youths who ate of the king''s rich dainties. [16] So the steward took away their rich dainties and the wine they were to drink and gave them vegetables." Daniel 1:15-16 (AMP)
Ok if you think thats crazy and going to far, what about what you wear every day? You can pick out your own clothes and trust your natural carnal death brain or let Me choose. Why do you call it crazy? Think about it, "Do you not know that your body is the temple (the very sanctuary) of the Holy Spirit Who lives within you, Whom you have received as a Gift from God? Your body is not your own, I bought you with My blood: therefore glorify Me in your body, and with your spirit, which are both Mine."
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (AMP)
But you say, I want to look sexy today! which mind is saying that? When people look at you today, will they say, nice body! Or I see glory all around you! This has nothing to do with legalism, you are not going to hell for what you wear. It's a matter of your "foundation being gold, silver, precious stones, or wood, hay, stubble; [13] Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. [14] If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. [15] If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. [16] Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?"
1 Corinthians 3:12-16 (KJV)
You can make every second count for eternity if you stop thinking with your carnal mind, and let Me order your every step. Didn't you know that "the steps of a good man are directed and established by Me and I delight in his way and I busy Myself with his every step. [24] Though he falls, he shall not be utterly cast down, for I will grasp his hand and support and uphold him." Psalm 37:23-24 (AMP)
Here's how to live this exciting life, let's give it a name, let's call it "walking by faith". When you wake up every morning, before anything, talk with Me. Give Me complete permission to run your whole day. Then, do what you do everyday, but every time you feel a check or have a second thought, hesitate, because that's Me making choices with your spiritual mind, I am changing things from wood, hay and stubble to gold, silver and precious stones. The faith walk is not, rocket science, it's obedience 101. It's a listening to a thousand, little quiet whispers of yes/no all day.
Soon people will ask, "why are so happy and peaceful all the time, doesn't anything bother you? Not when you let the creator of the galaxies run your life. The faith walk is always crazy to the carnal man. "This is because the foolish thing that has its source in God is wiser than men, and the weak thing that springs from God is stronger than men."
1 Corinthians 1:25 (AMP)
