#Heart Matters, Introspection

Identity, and the Death of Introspection

“Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin” (I Peter 4:1).

Let’s stop here and meditate on what it may look like to “ARM” ourselves. It has obvious military undertones. This walk, at times, is a battle. Be armed. Be ready. Be of sound mind. Suffering is part of our walk. However, when many go through suffering, they tend to blame this on satan and cannot see at times clearly what is actually going on and also why a deeper work is happening in our person. In my book The Spirit of Leviathan, I use a person in a casket as an example of our flesh man getting under control.

The Month of Elul, The Prophet Haggai

Elul and the Prophet Haggai

How often have you read the verses above from Haggai and thought, I’m sowing much but not seeing the fruit? I feed on His Word and attend church/assembly and gatherings, but I’m never satiated. My spiritual garments aren’t lighting the wick of my lamp and igniting a flame to warm others. Or I’m earning wages at my job but can barely keep my head above water.
