CHOOSE NOT THE FLESH

Farmers of Faith: STAY THE COURSE NO MATTER WHAT

No matter what keep going!

BE DIFFERENT

Romans 12:2 "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." Every day, we are faced with choices—choices that either draw us closer to God or keep us tangled in the ways of the world. The world pressures us to react with worry, anger, and doubt when situations get hard. But God calls us to something greater: transformation. Renewing our minds means putting His Word above our feelings, His promises above our problems, and His truth above our circumstances. It means letting God shape how we think, speak, and respond.....BE DIFFERENT The question is: Are we ready to be different and are we willing to give it all to Him? He’s ready to guide us, ready to carry the weight, ready to transform our lives. But the transformation starts when we surrender—when we choose faith over fear, obedience over convenience, and His will over our own.

CHOOSE NOT THE FLESH

Every day, the flesh wages war against us. It seeks to devour us, feeding us a false reality—convincing us that self-gain and worldly success are worth more than obedience to God. But the Bible shows us that this is not new. * David refused to kill Saul, even when it would have elevated him. * Joseph resisted the seduction of Potiphar’s wife. * Daniel would not adopt the ways of the king’s court. * Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego would not bow to the golden image. Each of them faced temptation that appealed to the flesh, yet they chose God over compromise. The flesh will not stop tempting you—and the enemy will use it to keep you from the promises of God. But victory comes when you decide that the Spirit will lead and not the flesh. Let today be the day you choose the Spirit over the flesh, so you can walk fully in what God has prepared for you. "So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh." – Galatians 5:16

Don't Quit

King David faced countless obstacles on his journey to becoming king, but he never quit. No matter what was thrown his way, he kept pressing forward. How many times will we give up before allowing God to do for us what He did for David? Are you ready to step into what God has already prepared for you? ‘The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.’ – 1 Samuel 17:37"

Obedience in Preparation

In life, we must be intentional about being obedient in our preparation for what God is calling us to. It’s easy to make excuses or justify why we aren’t taking action—but excuses delay purpose. Preparation is key. Obedience is key. When we walk in both, we position ourselves to step fully into what God has planned for us. David didn’t face Goliath on a whim—he was prepared through obedience in the field, tending sheep and trusting God in private long before he stood in public. “The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.” — 1 Samuel 17:37 (NIV) Just like David, your preparation matters. Stay faithful. God is getting you ready.
