LEAD ME ON

Hello Spirit Followers....or Flesh Followers. Bob Dylan had a great song on his album (vinyl with grooves)...SLOW TRAIN COMING. The song was...You've Got To Serve Somebody. The hook was...You've got to serve somebody..it may be the devil or it may be the Lord...but you got to serve somebody. The same thing goes for the flesh and Spirit. You got to be led by somebody...it may be the flesh...it may be the Spirit...but you got to be led by somebody.

Depending on the time of the day...I am led by one or the other. Over the years we have taught our son the principle of cause and effect. Do this...this happens...don't do this...this will or won't happen.

Take a look at our schematic of the Spirit. (you can click on it an it will enlarge).

1. You: This is "you".
2. The line going up from you: This is your life as you walk along...living life.
3. The bifurcation: This is the place of choice. It is the split in the road. It is as the poet has said
about the two roads diverged in the middle of the road...one is well travelled, the other the
less travelled road.
4. DESIRES/THE WORD: You choices are based on unrestrained desires. Remember that
unrestrained thoughts...produce unrestrained words...resulting in unrestrained actions. The
same principle goes for restrained thoughts. When we wash our minds...renew our minds
with the washing of the water of the Word...and base our choices on the Word versus our
unrestrained desires...it will determine which road we take.
5. FLESH/SPIRIT: Unrestrained desires chooses FLESH...restrained choices chooses SPIRIT.
6. FILL IN THE BLANK: You can place anything you want in to two places of choices. For our purposes we put ADULTERY on the flesh side...and FAITHFUL on the SPIRIT side. You can put in anything. For example: drunk on the flesh/sober on the Spirit.
7. CAUSE AND EFFECT: When you choose the flesh...the cause and effect is DEATH. Choose the Spirit side you get LIFE and PEACE.
It is what is mentioned in Deuteronomy about choices. Choose...curses or blessing, life or death.

Oh that I would be consistent in my choices.
