Last night at my church, "ABUNDANT LIFE" (Plug) we had REVIVAL NIGHT, with special guest MOM GRAHAM in the building. She went IN. It was great to get the perspective of an Ol'School pilar of the gospel on today's issues. She came out of 1 Tim 4:6-14. It takes about training physically for a race/competetion but more so Paul buts emphasis on "Training to be Godly". Recently Ive been reading this book, "Disciplines of a Godly Man" and it touched a little bit on this chapter. While I was reading God showed me that I was "Spiritually FAT" I wasn't training myself to be GODLY. I would work on my physical external impression of Godliness, but really focused less on my internal vital nourishment. We work on our praise and the appearance of Godliness, but forget that there is a root that needs to be tended to. Thats why we dont have alot of POWER. We have the form of Godliness, but denying its power (2 Tim 3:5) Where the power? God showed me that, Physical starvating leads to Spiritual nourishment. The more you deny your flesh you feed your spirit. Which also brings in fasting and giving up things to allow God to nourish your Spirit. Lets not get so focused on the external where we forget to train ourselves internally for the race. When you are spiritually fat you cannot compete. You have no stamina and the enemy can do whatever he want to you because you are tired and vulnerable. BEAT your body into submission and allow God to reign in your bodies so you may be fit to fight the enemy! I hope this is something you may think about.
