We remind ourselves that faith in Jesus means the Holy Spirit dwells in us, so tomorrow can be lived from Spirit power instead of the flesh. • reading Romans 8:9 as an identity statement • describing what it means to be in the Spirit • defining the flesh as independent self-reliance and human impulse • contrasting gritting your teeth with learning reliance step by step • bringing identity to the surface at decision moments • praying for a Spirit-set mind for tomorrow Support the Evening Mindset: https://MorningMindsetMedia.com/EMSupport [https://morningmindsetmedia.com/EMSupport] Join over 16,000 daily listeners who enjoy the podcast that started it all… “The Morning Mindset”: https://MorningMindsetMedia.com/Morning-Mindset [https://MorningMindsetMedia.com/Morning-Mindset]
