Walking in the Spirit Brings Health ....continued

Study Guide Questions:
1. Where does the Lord and the enemy deposit thoughts in us? (pg. 106)
2. What do we need to receive so that we walk in the the abundant and healthy life? (pg. 107)
3. On page 107-112, I share the "Three Glasses Analogy." Refer back to those pages, but this time, get out 5 glasses from your cupboard. Place three in a row on the table, representing your spirit, soul and body. And now take the other two and fill one with water and the other with a dark liquid like coke. From the teaching, the Spirit of God (clear liquid) can only be poured into your spirit. It cannot be poured into your soul or flesh. Likewise, the dark liquid... which represents the enemy's thoughts and temptations, also pours into your spirit, now there is a mixture. The only way to separate the mixture is to stay IN THE SPIRIT.
Here is a challenge: The next time you say a word, think a thought, or act a certain way, what thoughts were you following? The clear thoughts or the dark liquid thoughts? Think about it through the day and you may find you have been following that other kingdom more than the Kingdom of God. This isn't to bring you under any guilt or condemnation, it's to help you see so you can find your victory.

MEDITATE THROUGHOUT THE DAY:
The whole book of Psalms is praising the Lord. When we praise Him, we experience His presence. So if you don't "feel" God.... praise Him more. He inhabits those who praise Him.
From the passage you chose yesterday in Psalms, continue digesting that scripture, one line at a time as I taught through Psalm 23. Continue on that same verse through the rest of day.

End of Day 19
If you want to go on, you can. But it is a good idea to work through this in small bites to get the fullness. I encourage you to wait until the following day to do the next day. It gives the word time to soak in.
