The flesh profits nothing

I was standing at the stove this morning when the Lord had me pray. Looking at the cook top, "The Lord is the master chef, and we are His dish. He deicides what ingredients to put in, not us. He decides when to serve, not us. So if the Lord isn't serving it; a word, a deed, then it's just me." John 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The Spirit alone gives life. God Himself breathed life into us, as He did with Adam, the first man. I can't save, I can't heal, but we know Who can. No matter how hard I work in the flesh, I can never accomplish one thing that the Spirit can. Sometimes our sin doesn't seem to hurt anyone, it's just a nuisance. But what good is a nuisance? It's worthless, it profits nothing. Dead works the bible calls them. “Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and a faith toward God.” (Hebrews 6:1) Hebrews 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? There is nothing He can't do, none He can't save or heal. But there is nothing we can do if we are in our flesh, remember, the flesh profits NOTHING! According to Jesus, and that's my standard, and the only way that leads to life.
