The next 3 days are about the spirit, soul and body. Today in the journal we are asked to focus on the Spirit.
The Bible tells us that we were once dead but once we believe in Jesus we are alive again. The death was not a literal death of our body, or in our soul, but it was in our spirits. Sin brought death upon our Spirit but when Jesus died, He took our place so we no longer have to bear the punishment. When we are saved, our Spirits are awakened and we are born again to live.
Awakening the Spirit within us gives us a direct line to God. We have a new sensitivity to hear from God and a new understanding of who we are as a child of God.
"The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace." (Romans 8:6)
The mind of a sinful man is dead, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is alive.
Thankful for: My Housemate
She is amazing! So helpful and fun to talk to. We don't really spend a lot of time at home together, but when we do it is always fun. We don't get in each others way and know when we need quiet. Seriously, best house mate ever!
