What is born of flesh is flesh and Spirit is spirit

Remember, it is not what great things you can do for God but what Great things God can do through you IF we FULLY Surrender to HIM in all areas of our lives. The former is humanism while the latter is through the Spirit and His Grace.

God gave Abraham a promise to make him a great nation. Instead of waiting for God, Abraham got a little impatient and tried to help God by giving Him a hand and producing Ishmael through the flesh. In other words, through their own effort and from their lack of belief for God's Word or promise. But God was faithful and through the work of the Spirit came Issac when Abraham was 100 years old and God got all the Glory.

Many Christians and churches make this mistake of producing things out of their own effort. They pray for God's help yet they go ahead with their own plans, effort, and solicitation.

If we attempt to give God a hand, man will produce a great deal of headache for themselves as we see with the offspring of Ishmael. If the Spirit is to do the work in us through Grace, we must possess the attribute of patience and long suffering for those traits are of God.

John 3:6 (AMP) What is born of [from] the flesh is flesh [of the physical is physical]; and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Fire of God!
All the Glory to HIM for His Wisdom
