DO YOU EXPRESS YOURSELF IN YOUR OLD NATURE?

Influenced by the world and by our human nature, we are tempted or inclined to express the contents of our hearts as our Old Nature incites us. But if by submission to the Holy Spirit, we nullify the work of the flesh, our speech-act will be evangelistic and spiritual. This is why it is so important that a Christian has a time of daily devotion with God through prayer and meditation. There’s power in God’s presence that conditions both our minds and senses so that we don’t lower our guard against temptation.

As an example, we can refer to the time when Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane while his three head-disciples were sleeping on the corner. The story appears in Mt. 26:36- 40. There you’ll read how the disciples failed to join Jesus in prayer. Jesus told them, “What! Could you not watch with Me one hour? Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

The point is: We cannot belittle the effect of prayer on the Christian life. We need the energy of God’s presence to live a life of holy speech-act. It is impossible for the flesh – human determination – to do this alone. Our determination must be inspired and energized by God’s Holy presence. Without this, our speech-act is impacted by worldly ideologies and practices. Thus, “Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation.”
