If you are sowing with the world, then you reap of the world.

Such a profound scripture that the more you chew on it the wider the implications seem to be. Astounding wisdom if you can grasp it...

This scripture was brought upon my heart recently and has caused me to be more aware of the things that I do to bring pleasure to the my flesh and how the results of those actions will impact or have impacted my present cir***stances and future cir***stances. Things are coming up in my natural life that I might have planted (sown)through natural desires.

The Holy Spirit is the key to marking the true Christian religion approved by God. Anything that can be learned about the Holy Spirit makes that person or religion that much closer to God.

This verse was ringing in my mind last night and this moorning .I believe it is because the Lord has been removing people and friends in my life and there has been afew more vices in my personal life that has to go .One of them is listening to just ''any'' music .I love all kinds of music and alot of it does'nt mesh with being a genuine christain. Worldly music that does'nt glorify the Lord Jesus Christ .There is anoughther thing I have to let go of too ..I won't mention it here .But sowing to the flesh leaves me feeling empty.I must choose which one i will serve and not lock myself back up again .
