Understanding the Sabbath
Today’s Focus: The Principal of Sowing: The Field of the Flesh
Scripture: Leviticus 20:15,16; Mark 7:7,8; Romans 1:32
Greetings Kingdom Citizens
When you sow to the flesh you are sowing being lead by your soul. To sow to the flesh is to please the flesh and give in to its lustful desires. The only fruit this will yield is a fruit of corruption, decay, deterioration and ultimately death. Let me give you some of the fleshly examples that we see today:
Traditions of Men
Mark 7:7,8: Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
When we put the traditions and commandments of men before the commandment of God we do not worship God in truth and in spirit and everything we do is in vain because it is to please man, not God. One of the great tragedies was when the church became a club requiring “membership”. God did not start a organization, fraternity, sorority, or club. He started a family in the Earth under the governing of the King of the Kingdom of God, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Spirit of Esau
What is the spirit of Esau? Remember Esau lost his birthright and this lead to a damaged self esteem. Boy, isn’t this a major problem. We have too many people, especially leaders in the church that try to do feel-good messages all the time to appease people’s self-esteem. Because we have not understood our “birthright” as sons of God then we feel lower than we are. We look for sympathy from people for our situations. When we come into our identity then you will see people become more secure in who they are we will see people drop all this titles and learn what it truly means to be a son. We will seek God to validate who we are and everything we do.
Sexual Sins
We know that sexual perversion and sin is on the rampage and if anyone has been paying attention for almost the past 30 years you know that we have HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, Chlamydia, genital herpes..etc. All of this diseases can be the result of sexually perversion and sin. God gives people up to a reprobate mind to those who have these perverted sexual sins. This includes, homosexuality and bestiality. For those of us who do not know what that is, it is when someone has intercourse or sexual activity with an animal and this happened in the Bible. Yes in scripture!
Leviticus 20:15,16: And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast. And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
These are just a few but let me show you the result of all of this when we sow into the field of the flesh:
Romans 1:32: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are WORTHY OF DEATH, NOT ONLY DO THE SAME BUT HAVE PLEASURE IN THEM THAT DO THEM.
This is the result but before this judgment is executed, Romans 1:28 says God gave them over to a reprobate mind. This is a mind that is under evil control and soulish and fleshly desires. If you sow into the flesh the end result is death.
