KEY SCRIPTURE: Gal 5:16 KJV “This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.”

We must always cooperate with the Spirit of God through the word of God. We must not do as the Israelites did. They wandered through the wilderness for as long as forty years, a journey which should have lasted only forty days. If we allow depression, discouragement and anxiety to fill us, then we are acting against the word of God. Man’s natural nature acts negatively to God’s way 1Co 2:14 KJV “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” When we respond to the issues of life from our natural reasoning, we would surely miss God’s way

The word assures us that the natural man cannot receive the things of the Spirit, Rom 8:7, showing us the carnal mind is enmity against God. Well, in moments of trials, it is the business of demons to convince you to go the way of the natural man, or the carnal mind. If you allow the flesh to have its way, fear and insecurity would be built up in you, which would ultimately reject God’s supernatural way. God’s ways are higher than man’s ways. Isa 55:9 KJV “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

We must consistently be speaking to ourselves about yielding always to God’s way. Tell yourself God’s way is superior. Note that wrong actions are responses to external instructions that are contrary to the word. Be vigilant to instruct your mind to take God’s way. This keeps your faith alive and delivers your victory into your hands. This is a battle, and you must be ready to fight and win 1 Tim 6:12.
This aspect is very important if you were to win this fight on faith. Speak God’s word continually to silence the voice of the senses so that your faith would be sustained to win the victory for you
Remember that God’s word is always superior to the circumstances that come against us. We must consciously reject every voice of defeat and negativity. Jesus, our Lord, said ‘My words are life ( John 6:63). They would prevail if we allow them to dominate us.

THOUGHT: IT IS THE TRIUMPH OF OUR FAITH THAT WINS FOR US: KEEP FAITH ALIVE
