Sometimes, your mind can be your worst enemy. It wants to reason out the things of God, which can’t be accessed except by your spirit which dwells in your belly. Romans 8:7 states, “That is why the mind that focuses on human nature is hostile toward God. It refuses to submit to the authority of God’s Law because it is powerless to do so” (ISV). You have to follow God by your spirit, not your mind. Your spirit is your heart, or gut knowledge. You can “drop down” or “switch down” by focusing downward in your belly rather than on what is going on in your head. This takes some effort, and is why most born-again people never develop the ability to hear God’s voice. Their reasonings overcome their spirit, and bring fear, by causing you not to accept God’s Word over what you see and hear in the natural world. Reasoning stops faith unless it is anchored in the Word of God and trust in the LORD, Himself. Practice focusing on the LORD Holy Spirit inside of you today!
