DAY 14: LED BY THE SPIRIT
So then, brothers and sisters, we are not obligated to the flesh to live according to the flesh, because if you live according to the flesh, you are going to die. But if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all those led by God’s Spirit are God’s sons.
Romans 8:12-14 CSB
It is a risk to come into a new season and not be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Whether you started a new job, relocated to a new city, or started a new phase of life. The success of every season is determined by how you navigate the choices, opportunities, decisions, and relationships. This is not the year or season to be led by your flesh. You cannot afford to follow after every impulse of your flesh, every feeling, or every thought that just pops into your mind. Because you will get yourself in trouble.
You will swiftly realize that the sensualities you enjoyed by following the flesh led you to a destructive end. If you follow after your flesh, you expose yourself to great sorrow. So one thing I don’t want this year, this season, and any other season of my life is to allow my flesh to lead.
I’ve never seen anybody who lived by their impulses and was content with everything in their life. Those who are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God and they enjoy great peace.
Declare
I will be led by the spirit of God. I subdue my flesh and all its impulses and lust. I will be led by the spirit and not my flesh. My life will be directed by the Holy Ghost in 2024. I do not live according to trends or what is exciting at the moment. I will live according to the dictates of the Spirit in Jesus’ name
That means that you are doing the opposite of what your flesh is telling you to do Because your flesh lost after your spirit. So the direct opposite is what you are doing. Say it over yourself again I will not be led by my flesh. I will be led by the Spirit
I say, then, walk by the Spirit and you will certainly not carry out the desire of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is against the Spirit, and the Spirit desires what is against the flesh; these are opposed to each other, so that you don’t do what you want. – Galatians 5:16-17 CSB
Shalom
