Fasting helps train me to be spiritually-minded. In order to enjoy _Life & Peace_
5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded [focused, consumed, occupied, motivated, driven] is death, but to be spiritually minded [focused, consumed, occupied, motivated, driven] is life and peace, Romans 8
D pull of d flesh is strong, enticing us to live according to it – to satiate every of it’s cravings… d evil, destructive ones…warts & all
Warning: caving in to the flesh, d worldly…focused, motivated, consumed, occupied, driven by them, LEAD to DEATH, to LOSS…
When I fast, I grow in subduing my flesh; in dying to worldliness. &, as during a Fast I study & meditate on God’s Word + pray:
D influence, dominance & authority of my born-again spirit over my flesh (soul & body), over d world, & over satan & his agents, GROW STRONGER!
As I fast today, I’m spiritually-minded [focused, consumed, occupied, motivated, driven] & will have testimonies of enjoyment of Life (abundant & eternal). & of *God’s Peace
Shalom!
