Kitchen Table Devotional
James
Day 8
Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls. James 1:21
This work of God in our lives is quite amazing. The moment we surrender our pride, believing in Jesus rather than ourselves, our spirit it saved. Our spirit was saved at that moment but our souls is being saved in the following moments as we trust in the Father rather than the flesh. When our spirit and our soul don’t agree, we don’t do well in life or with life. We must be willing to receive the word of God into our lives for all our lives. Filthiness and wickedness must be rooted out and they will go as God’s word comes in. Until that begins to happen, this Christian life will remain chaotic and it’s in the chaos that our enemy lives and rules. Confidence replaces chaos as the word replaces wickedness. Where there is agreement, there is authority.
