DAY 2 OF 3

Crucify Your Flesh. 

“And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.” Galatians‬ ‭5:24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Crucify your flesh and crave Christ. Choose to pattern yourself after His Word. Pattern your life after God’s Way of doing things. Let God lead your heart. Galatians‬ ‭5:16-18‬ ‭KJV‬‬ declares, “This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.” It’s your decision to surrender to Christ.‭‭ Choose to surrender to His Way of doing things daily. His Way is better than the world’s way of doing things. The world’s way is temporary. The Way of Christ is eternal.

Crucifying your flesh is a daily decision. Choose to submit to Christ and let His Word crush the desires of your flesh. When you choose to submit to Christ, the lusts of the flesh and the appetites of the world will begin to fade away. When you surrender to Christ, your heart will begin to reflect His Character. When you surrender to Christ, your heart will begin to desire and crave the things of Christ. Surrender your heart to Christ and let the entanglements of the world fade away. Choose to feed your spirit the things of God.
