The Road To Death

The divine order is Spirit - Soul - Body.
When this order is disturbed there is chaos. Often times we pay attention only to the body. 
The Holy Spirit was sent into this world for us. But many of us have still not accepted it. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit is in many ways. We need to allow the Holy Spirit to come inside of us.

When Jesus was on this Earth, he lived a life pleasing to the Father in heaven. He did not do anything of his own but what the Father asked him to do.  

Many people themselves take the decision to do good to others and to be disciplined in life. They try hard everyday to live a good life. God’s way is not trying but trusting. 

To be saved, you don’t have to climb any mountain, do charity work, hurt yourself or even go underwater. There is nothing that man can do to be saved. All you need to do is simply believe. Believe in the Saviour of this world. 

There is no need to struggle all your life. You just need to rest in the Lord. 

No more trying but trusting!
No more struggling but resting!

Now Satan tries to get in between our trust in the Lord. He makes us do things using our own willpower without trusting in God. And when we don’t trust God and make our own plans, we fail. This can negatively affect our confidence and lose everything. 

Then what do we do? In everything, we need to make a platform for God to work. 

Every system in this world teaches us to be good people. But in reality it is difficult for man to be good. 

We need to live in Christ and Christ in us. And then we will be safe. 
Illustration: a rock squirrel makes its burrow on rocks. The squirrel is safe inside the rock but the moment it comes out, it is in danger. 

1 Cor 10 says that Christ is our rock. He is our protector and hiding place. We are safe with him. When we are in him and trust him, nothing can come against us.

We need to listen to his voice and walk in the path that he has set for us. It is when we go astray from him that there opens up an opportunity for the devil to attack us. 
God wants us to be with him. Christ is our hiding place.

When we don’t listen to the spirit but to the body and soul, it leads to problems.
Proverbs 14:12 ‘There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.’
Certain ideas or solutions may seem good but it may be a trap. They need to be what God has intended for us.  

John 15:5 ‘“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.’

Jesus calls himself the vine. We are the branches of the vine.
Remember, only if the branches remain attached to the main stem will it receive the nutrients and bear fruit. Similarly we need to remain in Christ to receive from him. 

When the branches are separated, the leaves slowly start drying up and finally the whole branch becomes dried and is thrown into the fire. 

For God the Father to be glorified through us, we need to remain attached to the vine that is Jesus.
