Ephesians 4:20 That, however, is not the way of life you learned 21 when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. 22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

When it comes down to the things of God, there may be something within us that doesn’t feel like participating. That something is known as our flesh. Our flesh is our old sinful nature and in our flesh dwells no good thing (Romans 7:18).

Whenever we get that feeling of not wanting to participate in the things of God, we need to remind ourselves that our participation is beneficial for our lives. It’s not a waste of time and it’s not too difficult to accomplish. We need to realize that those thoughts are from the devil through our flesh.

How we overcome the enemy’s trap of not participating is to do the exact opposite of how we feel. So, whenever we don’t feel like reading the Word of God, that’s when we need to move past our feelings read the Word of God. Whenever we don’t feel like going to church, that’s when we need to move past our feelings and attend church. Whenever we don’t feel like praying, that’s when we need to move past our feelings and pray. As time progresses and the more we move past our feelings, we will experience the benefits of participating in the things of God.

Start participating in the things of God and watch all parts of your life change for the better.
