True Profit Comes From the Spirit

“For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don’t find it doing that which is good.” (Romans‬ ‭7:18‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Should we rely on the flesh or rely on the Spirit?

Many people think that the flesh is at least a little bit good.

We must come into agreement with Scripture and believe that nothing good dwells in our flesh. If not, we will always be tempted to rely on the flesh.

“I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.” (John‬ ‭15:5‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Do we really trust Jesus when He says that we cannot do anything apart from Him?

When you still think that you can do something on your own without Jesus holding you and it together by His power, then you will find it unnecessary to rely on the Spirit.

“I can handle this on my own. If I really cannot, then I will ask Jesus for help.” We tend to place prayer as a last resort rather than the necessary resort.

“It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.” (John‬ ‭6:63‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

Everything life-giving comes from the Holy Spirit.

When you receive life from the Spirit, it means healing, health, long life, youth, beauty, prosperity, peace, soundness of mind, and good success in all things.

“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers.” (3 John‬ ‭1:2‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The prayer above is a good summary of what we receive when we rely on the Spirit. How would you like to prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers? This is true, lasting, holistic prosperity that comes from the Spirit (it is received through prayer).

No matter how strong or intelligent you are, do not be distracted by these talents. The flesh profits nothing in comparison to what the Spirit can do for you. Rely on the Holy Spirit—the more you do so, the more life you shall experience in the areas that you submit to Him!

Many people who want to be physically young and beautiful rely on the flesh to achieve this. Exercise, supplements, aesthetic treatments—these are some of the ways the world uses. However, we should not neglect the best way which is youth renewal through the Holy Spirit. He always works through God’s word.

Hi Dear Page Viewers/Likers, This page is not an official New Creation Church (NCC) or Pastor Joseph Prince page. These sermon notes are not affiliated with NCC or Pastor Prince. These sermon notes are compiled by me, and I'm just a loyal and regular attendee of the church's Sunday services, and I feel led to take detailed personal sermon notes of Pastor Prince's anointed messages to share them with the world, which desperately needs the true word of God and the original gospel of grace. I feel blessed to be able to attend Pastor Joseph Prince's services in person, and would like to help everyone who isn't able to attend in person, to get hold of the messages as soon as it is preached! Help to ensure that I have the time freedom to continue to post even more high-quality sermon notes MORE FREQUENTLY, and get to download ALL my sermon notes in e-Book format HERE ===> https://www.patreon.com/Miltongohblog God Bless You, Milton Goh
By God’s Grace, this page extends the reach of Pastor Joseph Prince sermon notes and fresh-written daily devotionals about Jesus and His finished work at the cross. The goal is to shine as the light of the world every day, sowing seeds for salvation.
