Mortify the Deeds of the Flesh

And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God (Romans 8:13).

You have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself (Galatians 5). This is where the spirit of lucifer, luciferins, those who work for organizations and live in neighborhoods whose strategy is to steal, kill and destroy--stealing money from their organizations, pilfering, involved in activities that destroy another person's life under the guise of "community"; and then point there finger at those who are born again and wonder what is their problem?

This I say then, walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other (Galatians 5).

But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh. For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalted itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians).

Satan knows the bible back and forth and loves to be critical of those God have called according to His purpose. Be humble. Walk in wisdom towards them who are without redeeming the time for the days are evil. Someone who is trying to destroy your life with electro-magnetic technology and foot soldiers on the ground trying to "get a tip"....a tip about who? The only criminals are those who work secretly using deception and openly using the "confidence" game" to destroy others. Let's be clearer. The only criminals are those who represent the law enforcement community. It is happening in neighborhoods and countries all across the United States and the World.. All of a sudden there is this eruption of crime and violence.  Really? I wonder why? People are being violated in their homes, on their jobs, in the grocery stores, medical offices and gas stations. 

What does the bible say? The bible is clear.

Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass. But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly. And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said unto him, Blessed be thou of the Lord: I have performed the commandment of the Lord.

And Samuel said, what's this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear? And Saul said, they have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto the Lord thy God; and the rest we destroyed.

And Samuel said, the Lord sent thee on a journey, to utterly destroy the sinners, and fight against them until they and all they have be consumed. But you did it your way, kept the good stuff and made sacrifices to God thinking that would please Him. Why did you not obey what thus saith the Lord, but instead your eyes got big and greed consumed you. You kept the good stuff and thought that would be okay with the people and that you would appease God by making burnt sacrifices to God with the good stuff. (1 Samuel)

And Saul said to Samuel, I have obeyed the voice of the Lord and made sacrifices to God with some of the good stuff that we kept. And Samuel said, does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices above obedience to His Word? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the Word of the Lord, He has also rejected you from being king. When you were nothing God picked you out to be King. Now you have disobeyed His voice. (1 Samuel)

Saul said I have sinned: I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord because I feared the people, I didn't want to lose my job, I wanted to fit in, I wanted everyone to like me, everybody does it and I gave in to peer-pressure to get along. Samuel said to Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord hath rejected thee from being king over Israel. (1 Samuel)

Moses was God's Chosen. God spoke directly to Moses. When Moses did not circumcise his son, God was going to kill him. And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the Lord met him, and sought to kill him. Zipporah, his wife, took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at Moses' feet, and said, surely a bloody husband art thou to me. So the Lord let him go because of the circumcision.

And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle. And Moses said unto them, have ye saved all the women alive? Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves (Numbers 31).

And Moses said, if these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then the Lord did not send me. And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods. They went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them (Numbers 16).

You must be born again. Let somebody else break the law. Stand up for yourself by kneeling at the cross. It is when you are weak that you are strong (2 Corinthians).  Let the Lord do a mighty work in you.

Exercise your authority to tread on serpents and to cast out demons. You are the head and not the tail. Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. Exercise your holy boldness.
