Daily Bread – June 14, 2021 (The Second Day – Genesis 1:6-8) Romans 5:5 – For they who after the flesh are the ones which think fleshly, but those after the Spirit that which is spiritual. If we are going to walk in the Spirit, then we must mind the things of the Spirit. Those things which are spiritual are taught to us by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13; Colossians 1:19; 1 Corinthians 2:13, 14:1). If we are to define the “spiritual”, then we must refer to everything that is heavenly where Christ Jesus is now enthroned (Ephesians 2:6; Colossians 3:1-2). That which is spiritual is the realms of the Kingdom of God and the righteousness of God (Matthew 6:33; Romans 14:17, 3:21-22; Colossians 1:13). Spiritual things are the manifestations of the Holy Spirit revealing the character and nature of our God and Savior Jesus Christ (John 3:5-6, 16:14; 1 Corinthians 14:7; 1 John 3:24, 4:13; 2 Corinthians 3:18). If we are going to walk in the Spirit, then we must mind the things of the Spirit so we can yield to Him and come under His influence. Yielding to the Spirit of God is as simple as loving Jesus. The deeper we go into our love relationship with Jesus, the deeper and more completely we learn to yield – knowing this love grows deeper with each day of relationship. His love is so deep and so rich that it passes knowledge and ultimately takes us into the depths of the fullness of God (Ephesians 3:16-19). If you will choose the things of the Spirit and live by the Word of God, you will discover an ever-increasing manifestation of His Presence in you and through you. Blessings, Pastor Mark Spitsbergen
