START OUT EVERY MORNING BY KILLING!

START OUT EVERY MORNING BY KILLING!

Yesterday you successfully put your flesh to death, and last night you went to bed a victor, feeling the joy of an overcomer. You were seeing My plan and giving yourself to it with a passion and excitement. After a few hours of much needed sleep, you wake up in a sphere of gloom, feeling disoriented and loaded down with what seems to be impossible tasks. What happened in those few short hours? Did you backslide? No, not at all, this is a new day with it's own evil. Yesterday I said, do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble." Matthew 6:34 Today is yesterday's tomorrow that I said, don't think about. 

But now your tomorrow is suddenly today and the first thing you encounter is your flesh that you killed during the day yesterday. Really you did not kill it, you denied it and overcame it's power to temp you. "Actually you considered yourself dead to sin and your relation to it broken, and alive to Me, living in unbroken fellowship with Me, Christ Jesus. [12] Yesterday you did not let sin rule as king in your mortal (short-lived, perishable) body, and you did not yield to its cravings or allow yourself to be subject to its lusts and evil passions." Romans 6:11-12 AMP So you went to bed a victor!

This morning it starts all over with new evil to face! Yes your flesh is still alive and well, but in a baby stage when you wake up. As a baby it's easy to kill, by grabbing each of it's negative thoughts and making them obey yesterday's vision.  By forcing your doom and gloom thoughts into My plans and promises for your today, your flesh is as good as dead for today. My word, mixed with your faith, strengthens our relationship to a place of victory again today. What you do each morning the first thing you wake up, determines if you will walk in victory that day or end it in defeat. "I love them that love me; and those that seek Me early shall find Me." Proverbs 8:17 

Never assume your flesh that seemed dead yesterday, is dead today! It's not, you must put it to death every single day! 
"For the law of the Spirit of life in Me, has made you free from the law of sin and death. [5] For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after My Spirit, the things of the Spirit. [6] To be fleshly minded in the morning is death that day; but to be spiritually minded in the morning is life and peace that day. [13] For if you continue to live after the flesh, you shall die: but if you through the Spirit, each morning, kill the thoughts and the deeds of the body, you shall live. [14] For as many as are led by My Spirit, they are My sons." Romans 8:2,5-6,13-14 


First thing every morning, start out killing fleshly thoughts and you will live in victory every day, setting the captives free!
