The spirit is willing

The spirit is willing.
The flesh keeps dilly-dallying. 
The spirit recognizes God.
And wants to live in one accord.
But the flesh is weak.
Of childish fantasies, it reeks.

The spirit is calm and composed.
The flesh finds this maturity overdosed.
Overpowered by desire.
That is how they conspire.
The dark forces use this technique.
Knowing that the spirit is weak.

The spirit is willing.
Even if the flesh it will be killing.
But the flesh is weak.
Doesn't want bitter herbs and fenugreek.
First be aware,
of the differences that are there.

If you know your spiritual cracks,
maybe even prevent an attack.
Admit your fleshly limitations.
Know you can succumb to temptation.
It is a fallen world.
So easy to get caught up in the twirl.

"Watch and pray."
That is the proper way.
Distinguish between carnal and spiritual. 
Discernment can be quite a tool.
The spirit is always willing.
It does not work on emotions and feelings.

That is what the flesh seeks.
Because it is born so weak.
Pray, so that you do not fall.
Into temptation, that thorny wall.
Listen to the spirit.
It does not have earthly limits.

That is what fasting does.
It tames the flesh because...
Depriving the flesh and gratification,
has many positive ramifications. 
Fasting does not change the heart of God.
He's not narcissistic with a whipping rod.

Fasting really does not please Him.
So, if that's how you were trying to win,
it's just wrong, your intention,
your perception and comprehension!
God does not need you to fast.
But, maybe you'll tame your flesh at last.

    1. Gehenna…..I don’t understand Fred….what does that mean….
      About Trump I am not qualified to comment on because I really dont understand a thing about Indian politics either….I really don’t know any politician’s name and how the country runs….I stay away from that….i live in a cave that way….I’m not into social media, tv or politics….i live in my own little bubble…..
      I understand and I totally agree…..sex sells….
      It’s a powerful tool, everyone is using it some way or the other. It’s sad. Women are abusing their sexuality for favours and success. Men are lusting after women in so many horrible rationalized ways. Multiple partners, infidelity, fornication and instant gratification…..it’s just such a fallen world.
      Both men and women are not responsible here.
      Women need a dose in modesty. Yiu cannot wear beachwear to office. There is a time and place and occassion for everything. And men need to learn to control their carnal tooth. I know men who think some countries have it all sorted by making it compulsory to cover women up complete head to toe and women must be curtained up to prevent temptation. It’s a very deep subject and there are too many variables….needs a seperate post altogether….don’t want to type just a few points and get into unnecessary controversies …..another post someday😅😉🤣🤭🙃🤐

        Up Human Nature it Always Escapes

        Since You Asked What Gehenna

        Is It’s Truly Good to Know/Feel particularly

        For Any Woman With Children Now And ‘Then’…

        Gehenna (/ɡɪˈhɛnə/, /ɡəˈhɛnə/) or Gehinnom
        (literally translated as “Valley of Hinnom”) is
        thought to be a small valley in Jerusalem.
        In the Hebrew Bible, Gehenna was initially
        where some of the kings of Judah sacrificed
        Their children by fire. Thereafter, it was deemed
        to be cursed (Book of Jeremiah 7:31, 19:2–6).

        This is the Real Place (Hell) in Middle
        Eastern Cultures And

        Sure Farther East

        Yes Where

        Young Girls are

        Abused in Families

        In the Ignorance of Humanity’s

        Eyes That Are No Longer Even Aware of Human Nature…

        And By God It is a Common Occurrence In Deep South Bible Belts

        Where i Live

        too Behind

        The Ignorance

        Of Zippers That

        Have No Empathy for Others

        At all Taught At ‘Churches of Exclusions’ First

        In Summary Hell is For Children And Beasts
        It comes From The Ignorance of Human ‘Kind’ Most….

        Obviously This is Why The Story of Jesus Doesn’t Like Religion Very Much

        Yet it didn’t Stop Him From Going into ‘the Temple’ And Raising A Little Bit of Hell to see…

        We Cannot
        Fix What

        We aRe Not Willing to See…

  2. Happy New Year little sister. Jesus loves you 🙂 🙂 🙂
    I was reading John 15 about Jesus being the vine and us being the branches before I read your post. If we stay in communion with Jesus, the Holy Spirit will give us strength to live in the spirit not the flesh. 🙂

    1. Fenugreek is bitter…
      That’s the English word….but most of us know it as methi.
      Methi grows in sandy soil so it’s very easy to grow your own. There are varieties. The most common one has tiny small leaves and is a very tiny plant. We make methi veggies and paratha. Leafy Methi paratha (indian flatbread) is delicious.
      You also get a different variety up north. Those leaves are big and used in many gravies like methi chicken….they balance out in a complex gravy. We also get methi seeds which are like tiny little stones…. if you soak them, they are ground and used to make certain south indian batters ….making the dosas ( fried rice bread)….like a pancake but savoury….nice and crispy….also I hear it’s very good for diabetics….so we mix the powder in our flours too….
