Are we ashamed of anything, any longer?

Rom 8:13  For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

What deeds of our body are we to mortify?

Rom 6:21  What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

In this day and age we've become immune to feeling shame.  We've called so much evil - good, that to find shame in that evil seems almost impossible any longer.

Gal 5:19  Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

Gal 5:20  Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

Gal 5:21  Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

What shame is there any longer in those who are adulterers, fornicators?  We glorify both of these. Uncleanness, lasciviousness, again, we glorify these works of the flesh. Idolatry, witchcraft do we even believe in these things any longer, does anyone? We should. Hatred- we pick CAUSES so we can utilize our hate. Emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings-   maybe, just maybe we still turn our nose up at murder, but not always.  We don't believe in our flesh being in need of mortifying do we?

Through the Spirit we MUST mortify the DEEDS of the body.

Through the Spirit.

Please Holy Spirit, please teach us, help us to mortify the deeds of our body- we want to live for our Savior, we do NOT want to die eternally having lived to our flesh.  Our flesh will destroy us, please be greater in us than the evil that would destroy us, greater than our overwhelming flesh nature that we would allow to destroy ourselves. Please save us from ourselves! Please, we are HELPLESS without You, completely helpless.

Please.

In the name of Jesus Christ our Savior, save us from ourselves!

All in YOUR love, help us to mortify the deeds that would separate us from You. Help us to feel ashamed of anything that would keep us from You and in that shame help us mortify those deeds THROUGH the Holy Spirit and only through the Holy Spirit!

All in YOU, all by YOU now and forever, AMEN!
