[avengers-21]

“He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28‬:‭6‬-‭8‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Religious literature from all around the world have an abundance of philosophical teachings as well, which in fact, prove quite helpful to humanity. But a rational human being must examine every single word from the scriptures before accepting it. Otherwise, it would only lead to religious bulimia, which in turn would bring chaos down on earth.

“Keep thine heart with all diligence: for thereout cometh life.”

1 Corinthians 15:3 (NLT) - I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me. Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said.

If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but because I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

Phoebe Waller Bridge describing fleabag as “She was in her custom-tailored coat of pain wrapped around a broken heart” made me stop reading and it took me a minute to come back to reality, oh it so beautifully sums up what fleabag is

"Somebody will say something like "I can't help myself" but let me tell you something. Listen, the devil can't make a Child of God do anything. He cannot make you. He will lead you, he will guide you, he'll entice you, tempt you but he can't make you." - Dr. Charles Stanley.

Once you have surrendered yourself to Christ, once you have been born again, and once you're gifted with the Holy Spirit, you are a Child of God and therefore you're no longer a slave to the world. You're no longer a slave to the spiritual principalities that rule this word (Ephesians 2:2, Proverbs 1:10).

As a Child of God we are called and expected to walk in step with the Holy Spirit on a "moment by moment" basis. Meaning we don't seek him once a day, once a week, once a month, only when we're in trouble and distress, but on a moment to moment basis. Seeking him every moment of everyday.

We do this because everyday we wake up we face three enemies:

The world

The flesh

The devil

This is why we seek the Spirit on a moment by moment basis. We seek his council, his wisdom, his strength. We seek him when we are inevitably confronted by one of these three enemies and they can come at any moment.

Moment by moment we should be listening to the Holy Spirit. Why? Because he is our guide. He is our gift from the Father above.

Trust me, I know how hard it can be to struggle with sin, to struggle with giving in. I understand just as much as anybody. But I promise you, it's possible to live life without sin, I've done it before, I can do it again. And I know you can too. Amen, may God bless you, always. 🤍

Ephesians 1:14 NLT

[14] The Spirit is God’s guarantee that he will give us the inheritance he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. He did this so we would praise and glorify him.

Romans 8:4

For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
