Joyce Meyer 23rd September 2024 Daily Devotional, Monday Message
TOPIC: Be Responsible
But you are not living the life of the flesh, you are living the life of the Spirit, if the [Holy] Spirit of God [really] dwells within you [directs and controls you]. But if anyone does not possess the [Holy] Spirit of Christ, he is none of His [he does not belong to Christ, is not truly a child of God]. Romans 8:9 (AMPC)
Today’s Message
Romans 8:8 (AMPC) declares: Those who are living the life of the flesh [catering to the appetites and impulses of their carnal nature] cannot please or satisfy God, or be acceptable to Him.
God wants us to enjoy the good life. Here He is saying to us, “If you walk in the Spirit, you will reap blessings from the Spirit-controlled life both now and hereafter.” Be responsible for your choices today. You cannot choose to live in the flesh and still expect everything to work out well. Choose to be obedient to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Prayer of the Day: Father God, guide me to walk according to the Holy Spirit, and to make choices that honor You. I love You so much, amen.
