Examine Yourself

If you aren’t experiencing good things, don’t blame God, check yourself.

We live in a world filled with vices, pitfalls and devices to deter you from walking in the path of righteousness. 

The carnal mind is open to sins of the flesh. You can be Christian with a carnal mind, carnal thoughts and desires. 

You must be careful with some people. You can be cordial, but you must be free from the bondage of sin. To be free from the bondage of sin, we need God.

The heart is deceitful among all and desperately wicked. Every day that you wake up, you will battle with the flesh. 

When you are not free internally, it manifests on the outside.  Mess = Misery + Evil Side by Side

Some people are bound. If you lust after the flesh, you will die by the flesh.

What we are determines what we see and what we see determines what we do.

If you love Jesus you must have the holy spirit dwelling in you, you must look at your associates.

Be with those that keep the word of God.

Proverbs 13:20 – Watch who you hang around with for you become what you surround yourself with.

Separate yourself. Psalm 141:4 – incline not your heart to any evil thing to practice wicked words with men that work iniquity. Don’t participate in what they participate in.

Examine yourself. 

Ask yourself……..What am I doing?

Is there anything in my life that’s not according to God’s word?

Self-control 

When was the last time you were angry or upset? When was the last time you lost your temper? Gain some control over the flesh.

Proverbs 23 – Control yourself! Be not desires of this dainty because it is deceitful meat.

Sin is deceptive, deceitful and it starts out small.

Spiritual things became more real to you, the more spiritually conscious you are.

If I’m following things based on my emotions; I am not in the spirit. The emotions are not of the spirit. 

The spirit of God gives life to the things that you desire from God. 

Be aware of the conflicts that you are engaged in. 

Don’t waste your time with petty conflicts.
