WILD HORSE ON THE LOOSE!!

"So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want" . Galatians 5:16-17. My friend, the human body is not sinful; it's neutral. If the Holy Spirit controls the body, then we walk in the Spirit; but if the flesh (sinful old nature) control the body, then we walk in the lust of the flesh. Plato in his book (my college reading assignment) said like this. There is a tamed horse with great discipline who is ready to pull his share of the load, and that horse will respond immediately to the driver. But that horse is yoked with a wild horse, and that wild horse wants to go the other way. He will kick the other horse or bolt or buck or he will be just outright stubborn. This is the problem of humans. This is exactly the conflict between spirit and flesh. How do we solve this problem, you may ask? The answer is simple but not always easy to do. Paul says "Live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature (Flesh). Easier to say than done. Walking in the Spirit means a daily surrender to the will of God. It means disciplining ourselves to respond instantly to the driver. This Sunday morning, brother, let me ask you a question? Are you a wild horse on the loose? Then your so called worship is a drama, drama, drama. Dancing, falling out, running around, and all expression of worship and emotion is a DRAMA. Ouch, sorry!!!!
