It is important we live according to the spirit of God and not after our fleshly nature and desires. Keep in mind, someone is always listening to what we say, but even more important, watching what we do.
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night, Rev 12:10. It’s not enough that those around us talk about us and make accusations toward us, but we see here in Scripture that the enemy does it too, day in and day out. It’s his job to discredit us. Now when we mind the things of the spirit, the only thing the enemy can use against us is our past. When you’re free in Jesus, your past can’t hurt you any longer, because ALL things work for your good!
When the enemy comes your way with railing accusations, tell him he needs to update your resume cause that old stuff don’t work anymore (my brother told me that!). When the enemy starts reminding you of your past, you remind him of his future; eternal damnation in the lake of fire! Saints let us (you and me) walk what we talk. Let not our good be evil spoken of!
What you say?
Your thoughts?
I stand in total agreement with you Patricia. Thank you for the reminder.I am free in Jesus and I will no longer dwell on those things of the past but instead focus on God's goodness and mercy.
