Regaining spiritual form.
Genesis1. Before you create anything, you must create infrastructure to sustain it. Atmospheres before activities. Whatever spiritual experience you want to encounter, you must create the discipline to activate the atmosphere.
Galatians6:7 The realm of the spirit works with investment. You are not beyond the principles that protect your vulnerabilities. Sobriety will protect you from being vulnerable to the devices of the enemy. One of the marks of maturity is that you have mastered the fundamentals. You have the childlike attitude of always beginning your day with Him. Hebrews5:13-14
There is a process for temptation, it grows gradually. So let your alarm go off immediately you begin to nurse the idea, not when you have committed the act. There are aspects of spiritual growth where we don’t remain a child, and there are some places where we must remain a child. It is not childishness, it is childishness.
1Corinthians14:20

GET UP: Regaining Spiritual Form
📌 Aspects of spiritual devotion that make us childlike.
* Excitement. Psalm 122:1. You know you’re in trouble when you’re not as excited as you used to be. You must watch and guard your excitement.
* Attention. Proverbs 4:20. John 15:5. Exodus 33:15. Anything you’d rather do than wait on God has become an idol. God must be able to interrupt your work. Create the balance in your life. Put God in your schedule and prioritize him.
* Conviction. A child believes what his parent says. Embrace the word of God as the final authority over everything. God said it, I believe it na that settles it.
* Humility. Mark 10:13. One way to know you’re receiving the kingdom is your attitude to correction. You cannot grow until you stop avoiding corrections.
