January 31~SPIRITUAL SOCIAL DISTANCING:  DIE NOW TO LIVE LATER

Romans 8:13  “For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.”

During this pandemic, we’ve all had to make some uncomfortable decisions that has caused us to physically distance from from family members, our jobs (for some), leisure activities, and our church services to help mitigate the risk of contracting COVID-19.  Distancing is applicable and vital to our spiritual well-being as well.  If we put nothing in place to distance ourselves from our sin-nature and mortify the deeds of the body through the Spirit, we then put our spiritual health in jeopardy.  In the natural, medicines are being developed and tested at rapid rates to treat COVID-19 patients, but God has provided a cure-all to sin called the Holy Ghost.  Together with prayer and fasting, the Holy Ghost allows us to live victoriously now and in the life to come.
