Rev. Sherry Thompson - Training The Human Spirit Leads To A Spiritual Plateau

Galatians 5:16-17 says: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.  For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. We are a work in progress.  If we listen close enough, we can hear the faint sound of God's hammer and chisel chipping away everything in us that doesn;t look like Jesus, Plateaus are very useful for this sort of "Spiritual sculpting."  Tune in and you'll learn how to train your human spirit which leads to living on a spiritual plateau. That's why we walk by faith and noy by sight,  Taking tiny little steps in the right direction for long periods leads to oak trees plateauing in their groeth.  These trees are actually forming the hard growth rings which give them strength to withstand the storms.  Their roots go deep for moisture and their wood is hard because of the slow growth. That is not a bad thing for believers or leaders if they don't want to be blown about by every wind of doctrine, or the latest success fad, or the onslaught of tempatation or discouragement. Grooming the human spirit leads to a spiritual plateau, a strength that will hold fast while waliking our spiritual journey. Tune in to find out how to be pleaseing to God and found always walking in His perfect will!
