WAR BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL

Dear One, My Holy Spirit wrote through Paul to the Galatians that they should not be deceived into thinking that they could sow to the activities of the flesh, which is influenced by the temptations of the devil, and then reap good things from My kingdom. He told them that it's impossible because sowing to the flesh calls into action the activities of the devil but sowing to the Spirit calls into action the activities of My angels to bless you abundantly with every good thing. Sowing seeds to the flesh reap destruction but sowing seeds to the Spirit reap My blessings. Remembering that the temptations of the flesh always involve negative human emotions, if you obey the temptations of the devil to destroy yourself and others by thoughts,words or deeds, then you are exercising those emotional muscles and you will more easily fall for those temptations when they come again. However, if you refuse the temptations of the flesh and instead exercise the muscles of your spirit where My Holy Spirit resides inside of you, always acting and reacting from My love, then you will more easily think and act from the power of My Spirit and do My will in your life every time. The abundant life that I promised will flood into your life. A weight lifter finds that the muscles he exercises the most become the most prominent. My children will find that the same is true spiritually, the more you exercise the fleshly muscles which curse yourself and others, the more control you give to the devil. The more you exercise the muscles of My Spirit by yielding to His positive emotions, the more prominent those love muscles become and the less prominent the temptations of the flesh become. When your human emotions tell you that you deserve to be slothful, hateful, angry, spiteful, judgmental, filled with lust, greedy, selfish, destructive, gluttonous, depressed, divisive or vengeful, refuse those temptations and do the opposite. Instead of obeying those emotions, choose to become loving, peaceful, joyful, good, kind, patient, merciful, trustworthy and faithful to others. Every time you choose to sow to the Spirit instead of the flesh, you exercise your spiritual muscles and then My family will win the battle for your mind between good and evil every time. It will be easier to decide to become loving instead of destructive the next time you are tempted. To the people who are tempted to become slothful, don't give your body the choice to become lazy and nonproductive. Immediately put one foot on the floor and then put the other foot on the floor, putting actions behind your decision to become productive instead of slothful. You have won the war between the flesh and the Spirit when you choose to do the things that are beneficial to your life. Exercising your choice to do good is exercising your will, which is the part of your mind which chooses between good and evil, between blessings and curses. Choose My ways and live. It's my delight to give you My spiritual and My earthly wealth, but you must choose to inherit them by making the right choices. sowing to the Garden of Life. Build up your spiritual muscles by praying in the Holy Spirit. Your Loving Father Galatians 8:7-10; Galatians 5 13-23; Matthew 5:43-48;Isaiah 7:15.; Jude 20.
