Living in the Spirit
-----

My children it is time to listen and live by the spirit! It is not time to listen and live by the flesh! My children do you want to be with me? Do you want my presence with you? Yes, I will never leave you or forsake you, but know this: If you live by the flesh you will die by the flesh. My presence in your life will little and my light in you will be dim. Turn your hearts to the spirit and live according to the spirit. If you follow the flesh, you will reap what the flesh sows.

Awaken! Awaken My children!

Awaken to the reality of my presence in your life. Do you think that I can be apart of your fleshly things? NO! I am spirit and I cannot be apart of worldly things: "Lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh and the pride of life" all that is not of me, but of the world.

Children awaken!

Awaken to the spirit, walk in the spirit and live in the spirit, fully and completely, your whole life must be in the spirit. How you may say? To live by the spirit you must pray continually and wait on me. I will answer you and guide you, my light will shine bright in you, my presence and glory will be with you.

Pray and seek my face!

Pray and seek my face for ALL things in your life. Pray and seek me for your family, a job, home, relationships, your agenda's, your plans for your life. Everything must be brought to me in prayer so that I may remove the dross from your life. Bring everything to me so that I may shape and mold you into my purpose and plan. If you do not bring everything to me in prayer, then you will walk with dross in your life, you will not be shaped and molded to the purpose and plan I have for you. Note this: That there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but to the spirit. You cannot walk in the flesh and think that your walking in the spirit. If you walk in the flesh, you will reap the things of the flesh! Through Christ and the spirit, the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in you who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the spirit.

God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. Do not gratify the flesh, you have been delivered from out of the power of darkness and have been brought into the light. Therefore my children pray and consecrate yourself and present your bodies as a living sacrifice holy and pleasing unto me. Make this your daily prayer and you will see my mighty hand at work in your life. I will hold you in my arms and bring you close to my heart. My glory and power will be seen in your life and the world will know that I am God!

To Jesus be the glory!

Your brother in Christ,
