MEDITATION: BE SPIRITUALLY MINDED
“Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. 9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.” ROMANS 8:8-11(NIV)

SUNDAY 20 SPIRITUALLY MINDED CHILDREN OF GOD EXPRESS “AWE-FILLED REVERENCE” FOR HIM
Then those who feared the LORD [with awe-filled reverence] spoke to one another; and the LORD paid attention and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him of those who fear the LORD [with an attitude of reverence and respect] and who esteem His name. 17 “They will be Mine,” says the LORD of hosts, “on that day when I publicly recognize them and openly declare them to be My own possession [that is, My very special treasure]. And I will have compassion on them and spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him.”

MONDAY 21 WALK IN THE SPIRIT!
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23
gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 24 Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. 26 Let us not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another.”

“For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.”

WEDNESDAY 23 PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT SPIRITUALLY BUILDS US UP!
“But you, beloved, build yourselves up on [the foundation of] your most holy faith [continually progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], pray in the Holy Spirit, 21 and keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously and looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ [which will bring you] to eternal life. 22 And have mercy on some, who are doubting; 23 save others, snatching them out of the fire; and on some havemercy but with fear, loathing even the clothing spotted and polluted by their shameless immoral freedom.” Pray for the gospel of Jesus Christ to take full course all around the world—reaching souls everywhere!

THURSDAY 24 LET NOT YOUR MIND BE GOVERNED BY THE FLESH—THE FLESHLY MINDED CANNOT PLEASE GOD!
“The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. 7 The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.”

FRIDAY 25 THOSE WHO DWELL IN SPIRITUAL SLEEPINESS IS UNAWARE OF WHAT GOD IS SAYING! INCLINE YOUR EARS AND HEAR THE WORD: “This is the reason I speak to the crowds in parables: because while [having the power of] seeing they do not see, and while [having the power of] hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand and grasp [spiritual things]. 14 In them the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled, which says, ‘you will hear and keep on hearing, but never understand; and you will look and keep on looking, but never comprehend; 15 for this nation’s heart has grown hard, and with their ears they hardly hear, and they have [tightly] closed their eyes, otherwise they would see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and Turn [to me]and i would heal them [spiritually].’ 16 But blessed [spiritually aware, and favored by God] are your eyes,
because they see; and your ears, because they hear. 17 I assure you and most solemnly say to you, many prophets and righteous men [who were honorable and in right standing with God] longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it. ”

SATURDAY 26 CHILDREN OF THE MOST-HIGH GOD SPIRITUALLY LIVE AND FEED ON HIS WORD!
“Oh, the joys of those who do not follow evil men’s advice, who do not hang around with sinners, scoffing at the things of God. 2 But they delight in doing everything God wants them to, and day and night are always meditating on his laws and thinking about ways to follow him more closely. 3 They are like trees along a riverbank bearing luscious fruit each season without fail. Their leaves shall never wither, and all they do shall prosper.”
Psalm 1 Vs 1-3 (TLB)
WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT: Galatians 5:16 (KJV) says: “This I say then, walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.”
