When you are in a great hurry to do something, just hold back a few seconds – that’s all it takes to shift from compulsiveness to consciousness.

Incubate #10 // Not your own body?
The Temple of the living God

And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 2 Corinthians 6:16
My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. Psalm 84:2

Prayer // Incubate #9
Prayer
Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.
John 16:24
“Have faith in God. Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart that what he has said will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you desire, when you pray believe you have received it and you will.”
Mark 11:24
Pray without ceasing.

because ye ask amiss,
that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

You, flesh or Spirit? // Incubate #7
Flesh ≈ anything that can be quantified by your mind, appearing and subsiding in time: people, places, things;
including thoughts, feelings, memories.
eating of the flesh = absorbing the teaching; not yet born of the spirit
You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.

For all who are being led by the Spirit of God,
these are sons of God.

And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also
bear the image of the heavenly.

Are you so foolish?
After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh?
Galatians 3:3
He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
John 6:56
So it is written:
“The first man Adam became a living being”;
the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.
