Daily Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:
Romans 8:6, “For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.”
For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace.
In the realm of life there are feelings and sensations (Eph. 4:18-19).
These sensations may also be identified as the consciousness of life.
For example, when you are talking with someone out of the source of your self, you may have a consciousness of feeling awkward, restless, uneasy, and uncomfortable.
There is something within you forbidding.
If you do not know the realm of life, you will just ignore those sensations and proceed with your thought, your view, your argument, your words.
This means you are living out of the wrong source.
Instead of coming from the source of the spirit, being sensitive to the feelings of life, you override the realm of the spirit by the self.
So the undealt-with, ignorant self does not know how to relate in life.
To be a person in the realm of life is to be one who progressively learns to take care of the spirit and the inner registrations of life and peace.
It is not to pay attention to right and wrong according to the self, but to pay attention to life and peace according to the Spirit.
This is to take care of the inner consciousness in our being.
It is the same as paying attention to the registrations of the Spirit written on our heart and mind (Heb. 8:10).
It is the same as taking care of the flow of life coming from our innermost being (John 7:38-39).
And it is also the same as recognizing peace and joy in the Holy Spirit (Rom. 14:17).
This is how we relate in life.
Until Tomorrow,
With a Shepherd’s Love
