Many people forget God’s “calling” to the Lost,
who are those whose only “life” in them is “the flesh.” The list of “perfect flesh” that Michael
presents is something the typical church struggles with in its membership’s history.
God had an incredible plan from before there ever
was “man”…to provide for the crucifixion of the root of “flesh” and the
provision of Himself to become the Life of His new creation: born again
Believers.
Pay close attention as Michael points out the true
goal of God.
DAY 325
What Does a Normal Cross-Section of Christians Look Like?
For consider
your calling, brethren, that there were not many wise according to the flesh,
not many mighty, not many noble. --I
Corinthians 1:26
I would add to the list in that
scripture verse. There are those that have had
divorces, affairs, rebellious children, depression, anxiety, failed careers,
dissatisfaction, anger, disappointments, brushes with suicide, and more. This
list reflects a cross-section of believers that is only vexing if our goal is
to display perfect flesh. However, when our goal is the preparation and perfection of the spirit, we see
that many of these things are necessary, for because of them there will occur
the loss of self-glory, pride, righteousness, strength, and kingdoms. All of these things are hindrances
that need removal before we can manifest the fruit of the Spirit and His life,
which is the true goal
of the faith. Well-adjusted flesh may make us comfortable and look quite
nice to us, but it carries with it a self-satisfied stench to the Lord that
proves it is not the proper goal of our lives in Christ.

Red – GP, Greatest Promises
Turquoise – UR, Unfathomable Riches Pink
– PV, Priceless Victory
It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad that the typical church dwells on
the things of “the flesh” instead of focusing completely on helping its
membership know, possess, and manifest the fruit of the Spirit and the Life of
Christ. And how terribly sad it is that
the focus actually works to prohibit the true goal of God from becoming known
to most and very rarely experienced.
Well, amen.
Thank God there are a few, like Michael, who teach God’s provision and
God’s goal, and encourage the few who will listen to actually experience Christ’s
Life. Hallelujah!
