The Best Leverage!

Romans 8 : 11 The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you. (NLT)

I trust that the last post Men In Black which appeals to me as 'Our Alien Story' reminds us of our responsibilities. Find below another truth of 'Our Alien Lineage'.

A Lever is a tool and a means of accomplishing while a Leverage simply implies the mechanical advantage of using a lever (excerpted from The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language).

Many times we desire to do things which will make us better Christians/believers but find it difficult to do them because we lose the constant war in our mind between the desires of the flesh and the Spirit. I have come to discover that with the use of the leverage of the Spirit of God resident in the life of a believer, we can overcome the flesh and be able to perform the desires of the Spirit seamlessly.

I can testify to its efficacy which is closely tied to the spiritual realisation of this truth in Romans 8:11 that the same Spirit that gave life to Jesus' dead mortal flesh, raising it from the dead - an act that was logically impossible, a desire of the Spirit but incapacitated by the flesh. The moment the flesh received life from the Spirit of God, the order changed. It became enabled to rise up to life and perform the desires of the Spirit.

Do you have a desire to 'activate' your flesh which has been incapacitated to performing the desires of your Spirit? Then, 'soak in' the truth of Romans 8 : 11 and see life stream from your inside.

Remember, "... out of your bellies shall flow forth rivers..."

Till my next post, bask in the euphoria of the completed work of the Cross, Selah!
