Something the Holy Ghost taught me about getting in the flesh.
More especially, with people trying to get you angry, backbiting, slandering, fornicating, etc.
Think of it this way –
They’re soiled, dirty and messed up in the mud, and all they intend, whether knowingly or unknowingly, is to get you in their state.
So I say to you.
Don’t get in the mud!
Don’t join them in their state.
“Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes.”
Proverbs 26:4-5
“Being like him yourself” is what you get for entertaining men in and off flesh.
Don’t get in the mud!
Don’t join them.
Don’t suddenly get angry because someone showed you their anger. You now want to be angrier than them. So you now want to show your anger is more deadly.
Brother, you’re getting in the mud.
Someone did something against you, you now want to retaliate, and hurt them more.
You’re getting in the mud, Don’t!
Someone lied about your case.
They accused you of something you don’t even know.
So now you want to explain and expound and defend yourself.
You’re getting in the mud.
Hey!
The mud is dirty (full of pain, endless and fruitless).
You wouldn’t need all that.
Whatever the situation is, be full of the spirit, and walk as such.
Give no room to the flesh. The devil rules and reigns in the realm.
Come up higher!
