S - Romans 8:1 - There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. 3 For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5 For those who life according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. 6 For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. 7 For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. 8 Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. 10 But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit i life because of righteousness. 11 If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.
O - My child whom I love, today I want to tell you . . . live in the Spirit. Walk in the Spirit. To walk outside of the Spirit is to walk in death. I love you and I want you to be with me always. If you will learn to walk in the Spirit, I will walk with you. When you walk in the flesh, you walk without me. I cannot go there and you desert me when you do that. I am always waiting for you to come back from the death to the Spirit. Remember, there is no condemnation for you if you return to me. I will forgive your sins and they will be forgotten, as if they never happened.
A - I must learn to walk in the Spirit. I must leave the things of this world and focus on the things of God. I must learn to seek out the Spirit at all times so I can rely on his strength to guide me and direct me where I am to go. I must first learn to ignore the flesh when it is crying out to me for attention. I must leave it alone and let it die. This is the only way to life for me.
P - Heavenly Father, forgive me for my sinful ways. Forgive me for walking in the flesh when the Spirit was there waiting for me. Help me to continue to walk in the Spirit. Guide me and direct me. Lead me to where you would have me be. Give me the strength to ignore the flesh when it cries out to me for attention. Help me to come to you at those times and focus my attentions on you.
