ENDEAVOUR TO ‘MORTIFY’ – SUBDUE AND PUT TO DEATH – THE FLESH

ENDEAVOUR TO ‘MORTIFY’ – SUBDUE AND PUT TO DEATH – THE FLESH: ENSURE YOU DO THIS BEFORE YOUR BED TIME – FOR YOUR NEW ASSURED DAY IS COME!

“Therefore, brethren, we ARE debtors, not to the FLESH, to LIVE after the FLESH. 13 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. 14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they ARE the sons of God.” Romans 8:12-14.

Until King Uzziah DIED, there was no NEW DAY and HEADWAY for Prophet Isaiah to experience an ONWARD and UPWARD, INWARD and OUTWARD trajectory and leverage path to thrive, shine and become; and to live meaningfully and purposefully; and to be fulfilled in LIFE and GRACE and MINISTRY in all about God’s BLESSEDNESS concerning him.

King Uzziah was a symbol of the FLESH in the WAY and LIFE of Prophet Isaiah in the cause and course of doing life and living godly in God in Christ Jesus stead. The consequence and effect of  King Uzziah presence was such, that Prophet Isaiah though a great Prophet by all merits to be and in the making, could not actualised the essence, and to move FORWARD – in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory with God from Chapter One to Chapter Five  of his life. But as soon as the [his] FLESH – king Uzziah – died [gives way] in Chapter Six of his life, he was able to witness and experience the three dimensional phase of God’s dealings – an UPWARD, INWARD and OUTWARD trajectory leverage; and that putting to death of the flesh [king Uzziah] in his path of becoming of God’s purpose in him, changed his LIFE and MINISTRY perception forever – in God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT – and that freedom from the flesh held bondage, enables him to BECOME that great Prophet that he was born of God to be in LIFE and GRACE.

“In the year that KING UZZIAH DIED I SAW ALSO THE LORD SITTING UPON A THRONE, HIGH AND LIFTED UP, AND HIS TRAIN FILLED THE TEMPLE. 2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is FULL OF HIS GLORY. 4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 THEN SAID I, WOE IS ME! FOR I AM UNDONE; because I am a man of UNCLEAN lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts. 6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: 7 and he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. 8 ALSO I HEARD THE VOICE OF THE LORD, SAYING, WHOM SHALL I SEND, AND WHO WILL GO FOR US? THEN SAID I, HERE AM I; SEND ME. 9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not” Isaiah 6:1-9.

Until you MORTIFY, that is, to SUBDUE, to put to DEATH – the act and deeds of the influencer called the FLESH – which is of what you SEE, FEEL, SMELL, TASTE and HEAR. Sometimes, it could be personality’s and individual’s about you in your life, whose PRESENCE are more of the lots of problems that  you must intentionally and pragmatically distance yourself from in order to stay focused and be fulfilled with God in life and grace. Until Abraham separated himself from Lot his nephew, Lot was a full loads of problems to him [Genesis 13]. He was more beneficial to Lot from a distance than having  him thereabouts with him if he must become the full intent of God in him for him and through him in humanity as to be the father of faith and by whom all nations of the earth will be blessed of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

We must all know that it’s very difficult to explore, innovate, create and initiate life with God while there’s an influencer – the FLESH, that abounds in us, with us and working and walking about us day to day. For by the DEEDS of the FLESH shall no man be JUSTIFIED or PREVAIL in the sight of God for any reason as to doing life and living in  Christ Jesus stead.

“Therefore by the DEEDS of the law there shall no flesh be JUSTIFIED in his sight: for by the law is the KNOWLEDGE of sin” Romans 3:20.

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not FULFIL the lust (DEEDS) of the FLESH . . . 24 And they that are Christ’s have CRUCIFIED the FLESH with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25 (Emphasis Mine).

God wants you to experience His leverage inn an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory of His PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUITS for your life, but you must intentionally and pragmatically have a look as Prophet Isaiah did, in the three dimensions of an – UPWARD, INWARD and OUTWARD – of God’s perception, to make it happen for you. It’s what you do INTENTIONALLY and RESPONSIBLY in order to be ACCOUNTABLE in the PRINCIPLE of grace – wherein to STAND in Christ Jesus stead – UNASHAMED, UNAFRAID and EMBOLDENED – and without sentiments, dissimulation and prejudice in all phases with God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Therefore, WALK in the influence and perception of the WORD of God by the Holy Spirit, you will not fullfil and be influenced by the DESIRE and DEEDS of the FLESH influence in the cause of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

BELOVED FRIEND, ENDEAVOUR TO ‘MORTIFY’ – SUBDUE AND PUT TO DEATH – THE FLESH – ENSURE YOU DO THIS BEFORE YOUR BED TIME – FOR YOUR NEW DAY IS COME IN GOD IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
