thank you.. One of my biggest problems is I cant always put it all together. Some times the spirit speaks to me so freely Its easy for me to just sit down for 3 hours and put together a bible class lesson. But in other times I struggle just to get a thought to put down on paper. I dont party, drink, or do anything that crazy. I am in church EVERY sunday, Every bible class and even go out and witness. I pray, fast and do family devotions... but at times that seems to not be enough. This is what the lesson was birthed from.. the stuggle of being conformed to the world.. the constant battle of wills within all of us. Just because our minds are renewed daily, doesnt mean that the enemy will stop attacking.. this is why we need to renew ourselves daily..because what we did yesterday just isnt good enough...
Keep me in your prayers, because I only desire to speak what he speaks and say what he says. Its just at times that it seems I can keep going and going and once I feel that its enough.. I at times cant get that "groove back" for a while.
one of the most comforting passages of scripture I have ever found is in the Living Bible, around Galations 5:22.
The KJV states, "But the fruit of the Spirit is...."
The LB states, "But when the Holy Spirit controls your life, He will produce these things in you..."
Our greatest frustrations come when we don't measure up to our own standards let alone Gods.
Much better to let the Holy Spirit control our lives and produce His image in us.
God bless
Amen.. thank you.
