Romans 7:4-6… 7:14-25
How to remind myself it's not about myself..
1- Your war is internal before it ever is external. The flesh’s focus is external while the spirit's focus is internal. One fights for appearances, another for wholeness. If your external fruit and circumstances is not something you are proud of you must double down on the inward development of a life in the spirit following the ways of Jesus.
2- You must create centering anchor habits. Anchoring is designed to keep us stable when the storms come… centering is about the spirit teaching us not to get too high or too low. Your habits will either keep you anchored and centered, or anxious, unsettled, and unrestrained. The goal is union with God, not rule compliance.
3- You cannot seek to be new while holding onto the old. How proactive are you attacking old ways of thinking, behaving, and functioning? This will determine the longevity and life you find walking with God. We carry something different when we profess faith in Jesus and walk his spirit. You cannot carry death and life simultaneously without one consuming the other. It's not just a new creation or an old creation, it's NEW or NOTHING.
