THE WORD: ROMANS 8:5-9
For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
LET’S PRAY
Lord, I ask that you expose me to the areas of my life where I am still operating under the carnal mind, and help me to overcome every form of carnality in my life. Teach me your ways and help me to walk according to your will, saying no to sin and submitting to your law.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
I want to urge you to take a closer look at your life and identify areas where you may be walking in self-deception. Are you still operating under the old man, the you before Christ? Are you still controlled by lust and deception? The enemy will use these two things to keep you in bondage, even after you’ve accepted Christ. But God wants to set you free! He wants to renew your mind and transform your way of thinking. In Romans 8:5-9, Paul reminds us that those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. I want to challenge you to pray with me today, asking God to expose areas of your life where you may be operating under the carnal mind.
