Something truly and genuinely beautiful is taking place for me. This all has to do with the understanding of God’s Holy Spirit and our own spirit. The idea that spirit is life and flesh is the house for our spirit is just what God originally created. He created man (flesh) and breathed the breath of life into him. This breath of life He breathed into you and me is SPIRIT.

I’ve said this so many times, but it is taking on new meaning of late. My dad use to tell me he needed to kill that spirit of mine. Little did he know that these words were words of Satan himself. This has been Satan’s intent for all mankind. He so wants us to lose contact with spirit so that he can keep us in the bondage of flesh. Matthew 26:41 tells us to “Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” I’ve never really understood the depth of meaning for this verse until most recently. God is awakening me to His fuller measure of understanding for spirit.

All of this makes so much more sense now that I am beginning to more fully understand the huge difference between spirit and flesh. The only reason flesh is alive is because of spirit. Flesh is weak, it dies. Spirit is eternal and always will be. Satan tries his best to keep us in our flesh. God is Spirit and He has never seen the sins I’ve done or those done to me since I asked Jesus into my life. Only I have continued to see them. Today I am so free of this old bondage. I can and will live in freedom because of this wonderful understanding of SPIRIT!
