OPEN THE FLOW : Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith. – Hebrews 12:1-2 Disciplining the flesh. For many believers that phrase stirs memories of frustration and failure. They know its important--the Word of God clearly teaches that. But theyre not sure exactly how to go about it. Some have given up, shrugging off such discipline as impossible. Others are still fighting stubbornly to get their flesh under control--and losing one battle after another. But it doesnt have to be that way. In fact, we cant afford to let it be that way. It will cost us too much. You and I are blessed to be part of the generation that will see the signs and wonders which the prophets of old wished they could have lived long enough to see. We will witness the Spirit of God poured out upon all flesh. But sin hinders the Spirits flow. And only as we rid ourselves of it will the power and glory of God be manifested through us. Only then will we experience the wonderful things that are prophesied to take place in our generation. So put your past failure behind you. Make up your mind that youre not going to let the sins of the flesh rob you of the glory of God. It is possible to step out of the sin youve struggled with so long and live under the Spirits control. Look to Jesus...He will show you how.
