Surely we are saved by grace through faith, this revelation from the Apostle of Grace is so enlightening.
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. (13) For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live (Romans 8:1, 13 KJV)
By the inspiration of the Spirit, he teaches that there is, therefore, no condemnation to them which are in Christ and walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit. Apostle Paul was emphatic when the Holy Spirit moved him to teach that if we walk after the flesh, we shall die.
The supreme secret to live and not die is to put to death by the Spirit or kill the deeds of the flesh. To continue to walk after the flesh is to starve the spirit. Walking after the flesh as a child of God will profit you nothing, but will eventually kill you.
Let no man deceive you with vain words; those who allow their flesh to lead them shall die; but those who through the Spirit mortify the deeds of the body shall live.
One of the major assignments of the Spirit is to lead you to the cross. You cannot kill the deeds of the body unless you yield to the leading of the Holy Spirit to the cross.
This is the secret to living without condemnation. To continue after the flesh as a child of God is actually comparable to starving the spirit. This is what permits the spirit of fear to attack and steal your boldness and soundness of mind.
May the Spirit of the Lord lead you to the place where you may mortify the deeds of the body. Receive strength to walk after the Spirit. You will not follow the deeds of the body. May God lead you to the place where we will lose the desire for the deeds of the flesh.

AMEN!
Thanks Bishop. I receive strength to walk after the Spirit.
What a word! You are really walking me into the Spirit. Living by the flesh is starving the spirit. I can only live by the Spirit by following the leading of the Holy Spirit to the cross. Too deep, Bishop. I will live a life of sacrifice and suffering to ensure that a lost soul is saved and not live to gratify my senses.
I receive the grace to live above every form of condemnation.
Amen and Amen.
