The Reality Of Gods Spirit

Daniel sushi-sized his day

Daniel sushi-sized his day. Are you ready? He took each day in bite-size chunks and we have got to do the same thing.

Zachariah 4:6 highlights what we have been talking about concerning discipline. It says this, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit says the Lord. Its by the Spirit of God. The spiritual disciplines, praying, fasting, meditation, whatever, in and of themselves are fine, but we are disciplined because of the reality of Gods spirit within us.

Heres what Galatians, chapter 6 says. Paul is talking and says, He who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption.

Now, whats Paul talking about? Paul is saying this. The moment that we come to the point in our lives where we say, Well, I can handle my anger problem. I have enough guts to turn my back on lust and I can really get a read on greed by myself. I can pull myself up by my own bootstraps. Ive got enough stuff to do it. Paul says you are worshipping your own will. You are not following Gods will. You are worshipping this quality in and of itself. Thats sowing in the flesh and, if you do that, you are going to reap corruption.

Look at the last part of this verse, But he who sows to the spirit will from the spirit reap eternal life. Paul is talking about green acres. He is talking about the Farmer in the Dell. He is saying this. All a farmer does is work the soil, throw the seed in the soil and then back up. I mean, after that, he cant do much more. God, the Creator , through nature, causes that seed to germinate and to produce fruit. The spiritual disciplines, friends, are the same way. In and of themselves, they are fine and dandy; but let me tell you what they do.

They get us in the ground and then God does the germination, the production and God yields the crop. So Im to be a disciplined person. Why? Because it gets me in the ground and God does the growing. Ed Young shows us that God does the true discipline, the true endurance, the true vision, the true courage, the true enthusiasm and God does the true love. Thats what God does. So, its all about God. We are to be very careful that we dont worship this me-istic, I can do it, Im strong enough, Im big enough, Im bad enough attitude, because its flesh. Pastor Ed Young Its corruption. And it needs to be all about God and his grace.
