About 10 years ago I had a desire to explain to one of my sons how important it was to read the word, go to church, pray, and listen to the Holy Spirit, Etc.
What I believe the Lord gave me to help me explain to him was this.
I saw three vertical Lines, like a graph.( I use one to reflect a picture format of my sales for each year where I work.) One line was RED and it was called “Our Flesh” . The Second line was Yellow and it was called our “Mind-Intellect”. The third line was Blue and it was called “Our Spirit”. A question came with the three lines. Which one are you being led by? Which one is winning? If a person is not born again the Blue line is at the bottom, and when he invites Jesus into his heart the Blue line can start to grow. We feed our flesh all the time with so many things, food, entertainment, the list is endless. We feed our mind-intellect when we go to school and read books and things of that nature. Many sources are now available to us to "Feed our Spirit". But we have to choose to go after them. Our mind-intellect will team up with one or the other lines most of the time, but not always. Usually the one which is leading is the one we feed the most. So which one of the lines are we being led by. I truly want my blue line to win, so I need to feed it the word in any form that I can get it in.
Each one of us is special and wonderfully made. We should want to spend time in the word, allowing it to change us, so we can become what God predestined us to be.
We all have a choice to feed our red line which will cause us to sin, in which we can loose, or feed our blue one and win.
