Death and life are in the power of the tongue:...
Proverbs 18:21.
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Matthew 12:37.
Yes. Our tongue (i.e., what we say) is an "unruly evil" at times.
Therefore, speak words of faith and victory as they will define your path.
God said:
For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me...And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 6:38 and 40.
Seeing the Son means recognizing Jesus as the Son of God in both the flesh and the Spirit. The important factor is to know that both are required, and even then God said "may" have everlasting life (see John 6:38 and 40, above). "May" becomes a certainty as "shall" when we act in faith on the belief on/in Him (see also John 3:16) that He is both the Son of Man(kind) in the flesh and the Son of God(kind) in the Spirit.
This is also where we are reminded that we must act in faith on our belief to attain eternal life as the ultimate prize.
When we place our faith in Christ Jesus-the Word of God, it is settled:
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Romans 8:1.
Remember, He already paid for our mistakes and we are under grace.
Please understand that nobody can describe walking in the Spirit because it is lived. We are born again by the Spirit, and we cannot lean on our own understanding.
The term "walking in the Spirit" simply means a continuous lifestyle of seeking and doing the will of the Father. Jesus said:
If we keep that in the forefront of our minds, knowing we have the mind of Christ through the Word, we will grow in the Spirit and do many mighty works for Him too.
Thus, there is a struggle to ignore the will of the flesh and do the will of God.
When we become born again, the time when we were disobedient is past.
Have you engaged in something that the Spirit wants you to stop? We must not ignore the second (underlined) part of the verse.
Whenever we choose to serve the will of the flesh and "walk in the flesh" instead of the Spirit, our conscience will condemn us.
Condemnation is what we find in this world and from the god of it, the enemy that is condemned. Therefore, do not let the enemy lie to you. Know that you, the brethren, are not condemned but reminded of grace.
Yes. Before Jesus surrendered Himself to die on the cross, He prayed to the Father about our oneness with Him and with the Father through Him.
John Chapter 17:
Now that Jesus lives in heaven, the Holy Ghost from the Father is the answer to Jesus's prayer (John, Chapter 17 below).
The Church is the body of Christ. Christ is the head of the church. Christ minds the things of the Spirit. The Word is God and the Spirit that gives man the power to become a child of God.
...the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
John 6:63.
Yes. Jesus said:
A certain man had two sons: And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
And he arose, and came to his father.
But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.
And they began to be merry. Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing. And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him. And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
