Hello friends, be blessed in the Lord.
Many of you have probably heard me say, "the two twin forces that drive all human behavior are: Pain & Pleasure." This information is taught by a world renowned life coach that I listened to religiously through the years. I even went as far as forcing my oldest son to listen to it when driving him to school. Recently in my quest to draw near to the Lord, my eyes have been opened to these false teachings that I had learned, and even taught to many of my friends, employee's, and family.
It is written, "You were running the race so well. Who has held you back from following the truth? It certainly isn't God, for he is the one who called you to freedom. This false teaching is like a little yeast that spreads through the whole batch of dough! I am trusting the Lord to keep you from believing false teachings. God will judge that person, whoever he is, who has been confusing you". Galatians 5:7-10 (NLT).
I will not name names, but my friends I was caught up in these false teachings, and thought it was the way to a better, brighter, richer future! Thanks be to God for my deliverance!
It is also written, "So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves. The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces, (our SINFUL NATURE & our SPIRITUAL NATURE) are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions. But when your are directed by the Spirit, you are not under the obligation to the law of Moses. Galatians 5: 16-18 (NLT).
So, now we really know the truth about these two forces which drive us on a daily basis. They are not pain, and pleasure, but our sinful nature and our spiritual nature. Which of these two nature's are you living by today?
Live with compassion and love for others, and be accountable to Christ.
