this is how i feel about it.
i love the promise in Deuteronomy 31:8, which says, "It is the Lord who goes before you: He will be with you. He will not fail or forsake you: Do not fear or be dismayed."
i am also giving you some answers and some to look up. happy bible studing. the word of the Lord.

UNDECIDED BY SOME. A mind set on the flesh is death spiritually
I Tim. 5:6
also read 1 timothy v 6-13
A fleshly mind set is hostile toward God 1 john v. 7 also read 1 John 2:15-17 What is the fruit of this mind-set?
Galatians 5:19-21
{ mathew 18:19.} But the agreeing is POWERFUL. If you will just "WALK IN THE SPIRIT YOU WILL CHANGE THE WAY THE CHURCH IS DOING BUSINESS TODAY!"
Apostle Paul gives us a list of the works of the flesh.
"Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God
"romans chapter 7
Romans chapter seven teaches us if we try to live the Christian life in human effort we will fail miserably
Romans 8 tells us how to move beyond that to a growing mature walk in the Spirit.
The dominant note in chapter eight is VICTORY . ROMANS 8:5-13
The dominant note in chapter eight is victory most people want a life that is meaningful and fulfilling. we want to be free from conflicts and stress. even more so we want to be less frusterated in our walk with the Lord. immature believers are filled with turmoil and spiritual stress and struggle. IT HAS TAKEN ME A COUPLE OF DAYS TO LOOK UP ANSWERS AND STUDY WHILE DOING IT. HOPE IT MEANS SOMETHING TO YOU LIKE IT HAS ME.
