The Lack of Self-Control

Many don't realize that most of what we deal with in this life is spiritual. The fact that you can't quit smoking, drinking, looking at porn, eating things you shouldn't, etc., let's you know that you have no self-control. But if you don't have control of your own body/life, who does? Do you know? Do you even know how to deal with it?

The bible says our fight is against "spiritual forces of evil", but that we should be STRONG in the Lord & the power of HIS might - not ours, but HIS! The thing that you are struggling with is not a human being - yourself or someone else - but against the evil powers of this perverted & dark world. Don't believe that? Well, Isaiah 14:12 & Revelation 12:9 both talk about satan & his angels being cast down to the earth & how he has been deceiving the world! This is a spiritual battle, my friends! But you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you, standing against the devil through faith in God!

The bile says in Galatians 5:13-25 that we are to be free from the indulgences of the flesh and we should walk by the Spirit, humbly in love. Ephesians 6:10-20 tells you how to be free: stand firm in your salvation through prayer & faith in God with truth, peace & love! Don't be fooled; we are warned that we CANNOT go to heaven living any way you choose!

Be blessed & know that if you are awake right now, God has allowed you another opportunity to get it right with Him & be saved!
