@streetpoet_1125: Morning Devotion With Evangelist Street Poet & The Chosen Family. Romans 8:7-9 New International Version 7 The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God;it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. 9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. Romans 8:7-9 shows two ways of living: a life controlled by human selfish nature ("the flesh") versus a life guided and empowered by the Holy Spirit. Breakdown : Verse 7 (The Hostile Mind): A mind focused only on human desires and self-gratification is hostile to God. It refuses to obey God's laws and cannot do so on its own. Verse 8 (Inability to Please God): People who live completely controlled by this sinful, worldly nature cannot do anything to please God. Verse 9 (The Spirit's Presence): Believers are not controlled by the flesh if God's Spirit lives inside them. Anyone who does not have the Holy Spirit does not belong to Christ. Takeaways The Carnal Mind: Often called the "carnal" or fleshly mind, this state represents complete rebellion or indifference toward God's standards. Transformation: True Christians are marked by the presence of the Holy Spirit, which changes their inner direction away from a life of pure selfishness
