Flesh or Spirit?

Jesus said that which is born of flesh is flesh, and that which is born of spirit is spirit(John 3:6) Althrough hes talking in this verse the difference between natural and spiritual birth. There is another very deep rooted meaning that every blood bought born again believer must recognize. When not careful its very and highly possible to begin in the spririt and than end up in the flesh. God through the mouth of Paul warned the church of Galatia of this very thing. Are you so foolish to have BEGUN in the spirit now made perfect in the flesh(Gal 3:3) This is so powerfully & profoundly illustrated in the life of Peter. In the sixteenth chapther of Matthew Hes given the revelation that Jesus was the Christ. This occurred after Jesus asked the question Whom do men say that Iam? It was awesome that Jesus said Blessed are you Simon Barjona flesh & blood has not revealed this unto you but my Father in Heaven(Matt:16:17) peter was indeed in the spriit! However we read just a few verses later after Jesus goes into detail describing the fact that he must suffer many things of thands of the chief priests, Peter rebuking him. Can we like even imagine? Jesus reponds by nick naming him SATAN! Can someone say WOE? The fact is as quick as Peter was in the spirit recieving abundant revelation, there was in the flesh telling Jesus he would nopt have to go through what he said he would. We must learn an imperative & important lesson in this... the very same thing can and WILL happen to us if not cautious. When were in the spirit there is LIFE! Jesus said my words I speak unto thee are SPIRIT & LIFE(John 6:63) The bible says that when we sow into the flesh it will reap or corruption(Gal 6:8) The moment we get into the flesh things are automatically put to death. There ceases to be an annointing on what we do. The flesh SHALL NOT glory in his presence(1 Cor 1:29) We must never forget that the flesh is "the weakest link" Jesus said the SPIRIT is willing but the FLESH is weak(Matt 26:41) In future blogs we'll get into detail on how to discover our so called "weakest link" We find a clue from jesus temptation in the wilderness. as we conclude lets remind ourselves of the words of Jesus the head of the church and our Master "That which is born of flesh is flesh and that which is born of spirit is spirit"
