Walking in the Flesh

What happens when you walk in the flesh:

 

-You rob yourself from experiencing God’s fullness

-You lose confidence

-You lose spiritual ground

-You go backwards emotionally and mentally

-Your perspective becomes muddled

-You lose intimacy with God, family and community

-You have to fight twice as hard to get back to square one

-You allow shame and guilt in

-You are unable to respond from a position of strength

-You put yourself at great risk: High risk, low return

-You walk in darkness rather than his marvelous light

-You make it very difficult for you to lead

-You act in ways to hinder or destroy your reputation

-You may cause yourself great embarrassment

-You cause other's to lose confidence in you

-You give up spiritual power & the ability to walk in the Spirit

-You are unable to speak into the lives of others

-You lose of authority (spiritual and moral)

 

So let me ask, is that enough to keep you on the right path? The next time you are tempted to walk in a way that is contrary to what God desires, pull out these questions and ask yourself if this is what you want.
