Broken

Such is a complex and simple six letter word is broken. We all fall into it in some capacity. There are almost too many levels and types of brokenness to list them all. The evil one uses anything he can to lead us to that dark place. It could be as simple as watching tv instead of spending time with family, or being in the word.

Galatians 5: 1 & 16-26

So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don't get tied up again in slavery to the law.

Living by the Spirit’s Power

16 So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. 17 The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions. 18 But when you are directed by the Spirit, you are not under obligation to the law of Moses.

19 When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, 21 envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

22 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!

24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. 25 Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. 26 Let us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another.

If we would only let Jesus come with the holy duct tape and fix us. The tomb couldn't hold him, so if death wasn't a problem for him don't you think he can handle our minor problems if we would only let him?

Lord I pray that you would come with the duct tape and fix all the broken places in my life. I kneel in your holy presence!

Amen
