The Wrong Fuel

WITHOUT the execution of the righteousness that has been planted or credited to the soul, the soul starves. The soul starves because it needs nutrition that it is not receiving. So many people, in spite of the fact they go to church, in spite of the fact they are religious, are starving spiritually because they’re not hungering and thirsting after the right thing that the soul is requiring.

The soul, in order to flourish, requires righteousness or at least a person seeking to align himself in accordance with the will of God. If you fill up your car with diesel fuel, you’ll be in for a rough ride. The motor of a car is not designed to receive it. Now, you may be full of diesel, but you’re not going to get very far.

While the gas indicator may show you that you are full, your car will be full of that which the motor cannot receive. You need unleaded fuel because that is what the car has been built to receive. Many of us are putting stuff in our souls that the soul is not designed to receive, and we wonder why, if we’re so full, we are not making strides forward. It is because we are giving our souls that which the manufacture does not require.

God requires righteousness. Seeking to align oneself with the will of God and living according to the new nature only produces righteousness. Anything else will cause problems under the hood of your life.
