You must step out of your own understanding and your own ways. I have been pulling on you over and over and over again and still you have not stepped out of this realm. You are even trying to step out of this realm you are doing it with your own ability and not coming to Me and allowing Me to show you and teach you the correct ways.

I have been telling you over and over again that you need to be filled and lead by My Holy Spirit and you still pick and choose when you want to do this. I have the freedom that you need from walking this way and continuously falling into the traps of the enemy and of the flesh.

The flesh must be completely crucified and your will must be lined up with Mine so that you can walk in the fullness of the protection and all that I have for you. You will not be able to be protected from the enemy as long as you continuously allow your flesh to rule you and control the decisions you make. You must stay and be in tuned to Me and to do this you must spend time with Me and understand that My ways are not the same as yours and just because it feels ok or seems like it should be ok doesn’t make it ok.

Come before Me and ask Me just what I want you to do, how I want you to do it, and crucify your flesh daily so that it cannot interfere with the plans I have for your life.

I am asking you My children to see the importance of doing things the way they are to be done and not how you want them to go or how you think they should go or even how you expect them to go. I want you to fully trust Me that I know what I am doing and what I have planned is for your good and My glory.

Learn to die to your flesh once and for all. Put away all pride and deceit and see that this cannot be done on your own but through Me and with Me and you will see those things you have been trying to do that seems impossible to become possible and you will have the security that you need as you draw upon Me and walk in My understanding and ways and not your own.

“The entire law is summed up in a single command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other. So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law. The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.” (Galatians 5:14-26, NIV)

“Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.” (John 15:4)
