Where you live will determine how life will go. Look at the Israelites who were about to go into the promised land. Ten lived in a place of fear and two lived in a place of peace. Fear is a place of torment believing you aren’t going to be good enough, or why does this happen to me? There is no full assurance of what God says will come to pass. This is how the enemy steals from you what was sown in your heart, the cares of this world.
1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.
Mark 4:19 and the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
Jesus came to give us life and peace. It’s through Christ is where we find life and peace. He came to make peace between man and God. When we live in peace, we are living in the opposite spirit. Opposite to fear which this world teaches. Peace is a fruit of the spirit, and Jesus is the King of peace. The Kingdom of heaven is in righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. Living in the spirit is what Jesus came to open the door to.
Romans 14:17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
John 10:1 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. 5 Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.” 6 Jesus used this illustration, but they did not understand the things which He spoke to them.
We get to choose from which place we live from. From the flesh, you will reap corruption. Jesus cursed sin in the flesh, so those who choose to live from the flesh are cursed. Choosing the flesh is death as sin is death. Choosing to live from the Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven is life and peace. In the spirit is where you are joined as one with Jesus. This is the most amazing place to live from. Your flesh will hate living from the spirit, but who do you want to follow, Jesus in the spirit, or your flesh? The only way into the spirit is through Jesus. This is why He died for you, so you can be one with Him in the spirit. As a husband is joined to his wife, so you are joined with Jesus in the spirit. That covenant cannot be broken because Jesus is the mediator of the new covenant. The new covenant is a wedding covenant with Him and it has been sealed by His blood. Be blessed, my friends.
Hebrews 9:15 And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
