Do you neglect your spirit man?
 
Many of us do...in fact, we may not even give our spirit man an opportunity to even reign in our life.  That means that you have not given Lordship to Christ.
 
When you don't give Lordship to Christ, you remain in your flesh and neglect your spirit man.  There in lies your attitude it is negative and low.  No altitude in the depths of sin.
 
Now the Lordship of Christ is necessary for us to remain and live within your spirit man where therein lies the power of the Holy Spirit.  Your attitude will be positive, believing in the impossible, trusting in Christ, and full of faith which exhibits high altitude.

The result of a negative attitude brings about murmuring and complaining within you.  This is gross sin!  And sin loves to have company.  When you murmur and complain to another saint, you are looking for them to come into agreement with your sin.  Our natural man wants to find sympathy or at the very least, empathy.  At this point you have now engaged another to come into sin with you.  
 
One bad apple will spoil the barrel.  This is the meaning of a negative attitude.  If one has a negative attitude, you spread the sin through murmuring and complaining, you have now allowed Satan to succeed in taking down the body of Christ through sin that is operating through you.  Don't allow yourself to be used by Satan.  Stop serving him!  Start serving Christ!
 
Does that mean you can't confess one to another?  Absolutely not!  Keep confessing but also repent behind the confession. Repentance brings a change, a renewed mind, a POSITIVE ATTITUDE.  If you are not repenting, you can not get renewed, change, or become positive.  Instead you will remain in sin, murmuring and complaining, and find yourself spiraling down to the depths of negativity; not a pleasant place to be.  
So monitor your thoughts. 
Take them captivity. 
Bring them under subjection. 
Put on the mind of Christ.
Amen and amen ~Minister Falcon
