Spiritual
Maintenance
Admit To Ourselves
In order to be
spiritually on track, in other words, in order to deny our flesh, we
must admit our fleshly desires so that we may learn the first steps
to tackling them. One of our issues with getting rid of the flesh is
lack of focus, we focus so much on the cares of this world, social
media, Television, sports, music, video games, racism, conspiracies,
drugs, partying, working, money, success etc.
In order to battle
this flesh, we must admit our issues...yes! it’s a must in this
walk.. we have to be honest with ourselves, because we are not
fooling anyone.. instead we are becoming the fool if we deny we have
a spiritual problem which causes us to react negatively in our
everyday physical lives.
Read Galations
5:19-21
19)”And the works
of the flesh are well-known, which are these: adultery, whoring
uncleanness, indecency,
20)”Idolatry, drug
sorcery, hatred, quarrels, jealousies, fits of rage, selfish
ambitions, dissensions, factions
21)”envy, murders,
drunkenness, wild parties, and the like-- of which I forewarn you,
even as I also said before, that those who practice such as these
shall NOT inherit the reign of Alahiym.
Have you read the
works of the flesh yet? It’s also recommended, to read the precepts
as well and look up each definition of these words to analyze them
carefully to find out whether you have any of these characters or
even if you have all of them.. We’ve got a long week ahead of
us…The good thing is.. Just think of this being our next step to
spiritual growth!
Now let’s get a
sheet of paper and after reading and studying the works of the flesh,
this is where the writing down comes in...Write down on the sheet of
paper all the fleshly characters you feel still cling to you that you
need to work on letting go.. This is a MUST..How else will we get it
right.. right?!
Next, Pray and ask
The Most High to guide you and give you will power to abstain from
fleshly desires..because I find that when you lack spiritual
strength, this is where backsliding takes place; you have no strength
spiritually to keep you on the right path and stay on that path.. So
Praying daily on these issues is a must as well..
Search And Destroy
Have you figured out
your spiritual issue/issues? Now what? What should we do to tackle
the task at hand? here’s our homework..
Look for scriptures
pertaining to the issues that you are dealing with in your life and
study them, even look up precepts for them so that you can get a
better understanding on what it is you need to do and do this daily…
Learn to examine
yourself before you examine others...you may soon find out that you
aren’t as spotless as you think…
We spend so much
time pointing the fingers at one another but, we don’t do enough
self evaluation.
And in turn of us
not doing that, we end up being consumed with everyone else and
everything else. Let us take a pause and do some self maintenance.
Galations 5:7
You were running
well, who held you back from obeying the truth?”
Understanding That
This Is An Every examination and you must pray for spiritual
discernment to be able to differentiate what is right and wrong in
your life and surroundings.. Keep in mind that YAH is with you every
step of the way always and He will not leave you nor forsake you!
Let us work on
fixing ourselves and in turn we can help fix each other.
This is the steps to
spiritual maintenance..
