It was chasin' me and I was too afraid to stop and dream it. Because I've done that before. One time I was running just like this and I gave into my achin' legs to give them rest and the results yielded death. This is the Ultimate Reality that I know to be true.
So I was tearin' down that street, and I'm continuing to slap my bare feet against the rocky pavement.
It's simply like this: I cannot stop. I know what would happen. But my strength is this: MY STRENGTH IS A GREAT GRACE that captivates every molecule of my body and draws me in. That is why I can keep running. That is the only reason I don't give into my aching legs. My endurance comes from grace. A lesson I cannot forget."Be killing sin or sin will be killing you." -John Owen.
"For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.
To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.
For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot.
Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.
But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you."
Romans 8:5-11
