Romans 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? 25But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

Paul that wrote Romans 8, had to literally go blind to see. Romans 8 is all about the Spirit and the warnings are strong. Everything , even hope can not be seen in the Spirit world of God.

We live in a very visual world, but everything about God is Spirit. I hate the lies told that it is easy to please and follow God , it is not. Earth is a testing ground , how ironic we base our entire lives on test. We must pass test from Pre-K to College but the only one that really matters is God's. Since the Garden humans have been trying to obey God, that we can not seen. He is so Holy and powerful we would die in these human bodies to look at Him.

“Genesis 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. “

He longs for us to obey and walk in the Garden with Him. There was one rule in the Garden and humans are so weak compared to God ,we can not obey without the Spirit of God. That is why God sent His only Son. Today I was reminded how hard I worked for and at my moms , yet I did not want to work that hard for God.

From schools, business and church Romans 8 was to be our goal. All that was and is taught and done outside of Romans 8 , outside of the purpose of God ,will perish. Do you know a school , business or church that is all Spirit minded ,that believes and follows Romans 8?
“Romans 8: 9But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, He is none of His. “

Wow , that is just a scary verse in this carnal world. I lived in the world of flesh and tried to keep God in my pocket when I needed Him. We are either Spirit or not, there is no middle ground. Schools of carnal education are teaching death, business's that are carnal are selling death, carnal churches are spreading death.

Romans 8 is very clear what life and death are, what is seen and not seen and how to be a child of God...
We have become desensitized when it comes to death. satan has been very clever in how he has used movies, games , books , education and even our cars. Death on this earth is nothing compared to the death spoken of in Romans 8. Life without God on this threshing floor can be unbearable.
Having to spend eternity with everything we hate on this planet is what many will do. We have to take our lives and walks with God more seriously.

A child of 6 ask me why I prayed so much. This child spends 9 hours of his day ,where Romans 8 is not allowed. Out of my 5 days of hard work and care this past week ,the answer I gave that child is all that mattered.
Look today at where the Spirit is and is not. Look where Romans 8 is and where it is not. Pray every person and child can see Romans 8 in day in someone...

“Revelation 22:12-14And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.”
