“IF YOU WANT THE FULLNESS OF THE SPIRIT, YOU NEED TO KILL THE FULLNESS OF THE FLESH

The Bible talked about about mortifying the deeds of the flesh and also said in a place “Walk in the Spirit and you shall not fulfill the lusts of the flesh”, this implies that the flesh and the Spirit don’t agree together just as light and darkness don’t mix, meaning that the flesh will leave you once you give yourself fully to the Spirit and the Spirit leaves you once you enter into the realm of the flesh. One of the problems of this generation is the fact that we want the flesh and the Spirit at the same time, we want the fullness of the Spirit but we are not ready to get rid of the fullness of the flesh. Now, I said “fullness of the flesh” because it involves both the aspect of your flesh that appears sinful and the ones that is not necessarily sinful.
Your flesh comprises of your carnal self, your physical appearance, dressing, pride, lusts, all that you desire to have for yourself, achieve and become in this world, food, pleasures, ego, career, ambition, marriage, Sex, having children, family ties and all the things your body craves for yourself. Now, some of the things I just mentioned are not actually sinful if done and used properly, however, in order to get the fullness of the Spirit, you must deny all of your flesh (and not some), you must live as someone who do not belong to this world, your mind must be set on things Above and not on the things on earth (Col. 3:2), yes you must HATE all that your flesh dictates to you. It is now the Spirit of God that will henceforth be leading you into obtaining those things that are useful and needful in flesh such as: food, clothing, shelter, marriage, career, jobs, finances, friends, business and all forms of establishments. And If you think there are some aspects of your life that doesn’t need the leading and guidance of the Holy Spirit, then I can assure you that you will see the devil set up terrible traps for you in those areas.
A lot of Christians today want God to use them mightily, they want to manifest powerful spiritual gifts but they are not ready to KILL all of their flesh, they are not ready to become like Jesus in nature and deeds, So I began to wonder “why do you want God to use you when you are not ready to become the kind of person God can use”, many ministers today are BORROWED VESSELS and not WORTHY VESSELS, God is using them because He has no one else to replace them yet or because they are the only available vessels He can use at that time, meaning that a time is coming when many of those we know as “Great Preachers” today will no longer be great because God will expose and judge their evil ways and will replace them with His own prepared vessels. One of the major problems God is having with the Church today is FLESH PROBLEM, inasmuch as God would want to do great things among us and help us, the limiting factor has always been The Flesh. In fact, it is in today’s Church that we have people who are trying to use the Spirit or the Anointing to gratify, promote and fulfill the desires of the flesh.
A PASTOR WAS TRYING TO ENCOURAGE A SISTER TO REJOICE IN THE LORD AND BE HAPPY, BUT THE SISTER SAID “HOW CAN I BE HAPPY AND JOYFUL WHEN AT THIS AGE OF MINE I AM NOT YET MARRIED”—THIS SISTER WAS SO CONSCIOUS OF MARRIAGE TO THE POINT THAT SHE WITHDREW HERSELF FROM THE SPIRIT!!
WHAT IS KILLING THE SPIRITUAL LIVES OF MANY BELIEVERS TODAY IS THE FACT THAT WE ARE NOT GETTING SOME OF THOSE FLESHLY THINGS WE ARE ASKING GOD TO DO FOR US!!!…When will you get to a point where all that matters to you is to possess the fullness of the Spirit…Be Wise!!!! Amen.
