| 0:00.0 | Good morning and welcome back. It's time for the morning mindset. |
| 0:06.6 | Time for us to get our minds aligned with the truth of God because when we |
| 0:11.1 | understand the truth of God and we do what is needed to live out that |
| 0:17.4 | truth, we are able to walk in a way, live in a way that brings glory to God and blesses the world. Now I |
| 0:25.9 | asked you to do something for me at the end of the last episode. If you have not |
| 0:30.5 | listened to the episode just previous to this I encourage you to do that |

| 1:35.0 | Did you notice that? He says that if we can do this thing called walking by the Spirit. |
| 1:43.0 | We will not carry out the desires of this thing he calls the flesh. |
| 1:50.0 | And so just the way he says that makes it sound like walking by the spirit is preferred |
| 1:57.3 | and gratifying the desires of the flesh is not preferred, that one is good and one is bad. Okay and if you've been a |
