The Spirit, indeed, is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
Jesus said this at one of the most critical and crucial moments of His life.
He said it as He had asked His disciples to, “Watch and pray with me,” and when He came back, they were all sleeping.
The s pirit that God shared with us to give us life is constantly tugging us toward God. It’s these other two that drag their feet.
Paul said in Corinthians that it is his will that determines when he speaks in tongues and when he speaks in English. Even if his understanding is unfruitful, his spirit is satisfied.
Within the will is something called our intuition. That voice that warns us about possible danger—or even what choices to make in our lives.
It is led by the Spirit of God once we have been saved. And it is to be trusted once we pull ourselves out of the equation.
The Spirit of God is able to invest deep traits and intuitional knowledge we may not have even thought of, and as long as it’s backed by scripture, we can be assured it came from God.
Allow a new teacher to come from God to lead you into all righteousness. Learn from Him, lean on Him, and lean away from your own previous understanding.
