Therefore, any area of our spiritual life that defeats us, is a flesh-nerve that needs to be cut. By flesh-nerve I mean fleshly reactions. We wonder where they come from because they don’t seem to come from a thought. That’s the deception.

When we are deceived we don’t realize we are. Hebrews 3:13 says that the deceitfulness of sin hardens our heart. That means we grow callous over the hidden area. It makes us cynical and jaded in our thinking. It opens us to spiritual barrenness.

The great news is that God’s word can cut through that callous. Nothing is impossible for Him. I encourage you to lay your fleshly reaction before the Holy Spirit. Ask Him why you reacted the way you did. He will reveal the hidden. He will lead us into the truth that will set us free and keep us free ~ bringing the needed course correction.
