Soulish Living

In my previous blog I discussed the concept of walking in a soulish manner as opposed to walking in the Spirit or flesh.  In this blog I want to address some common characteristics that accompany walking in a soulish manner.

1. A person who walks in a soulish manner will have a roller coaster life with  high peaks and low valleys.  The peaks and valleys will also happen rather closely together.

2. A person who walks in a soulish manner will quickly neglect sound biblical truth that does not align with their will, desires or feelings.

3. A person who walks in a soulish manner will pull away from or distance themselves from anyone who speaks truth that is opposed to their stance.

4. A person who walks in a soulish manner will attract others by appearing strong, spiritual and authoritative.  In their opinion others need what they have.

5. A person who walks in a soulish manner will assume their desires and wishes are the voice of God in their life as they have superimposed their will into their prayers.

6. A person who walks in a soulish manner will navigate to and return to whatever gives them the highest peak in their roller coaster ride of life.

There are more characteristics that we will consider in the coming days.  God calls us to walk in the Spirit and to not satisfy their flesh.  Yet many end up living in the middle realm of their soul, and that is a dangerous place to be.
