Brothers and Sisters 😊
📖 In Galatians chapter 5 today we see the ongoing war of good and evil at work inside of every believer…
“The desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed & continually in conflict with each other” (vs 17).
Q. Is it not absolutely amazing to think that the Spirit of God who is sovereign over the entire universe is also living inside of us, giving us the power to overcome our rotten sin within, and love others the way we have been loved by Jesus?
🙏 Heavenly Father thank you so much that “Greater is He that is in us, than he that is in the world!!!” Please let love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control exponentially increase in us – For the good of your people, compassion for the lost, and the glory of Christ.
🙏 Lord Jesus we praise you today that as you ascended to heaven to go and prepare a place for us, you sent us the Comforter who will abide with us forever – Please help us all consistently surrender to (and keep in step with) your Spirit, waging war against our selfish nature and crucifying the flesh (the old self of sin).
🙏 Holy Spirit give us a living and active faith that produces repentance & love, knowing that our obedience to you is not our means of justification, but rather the proper response to the abounding grace of God…
✝️ “For you were called to freedom brothers and sisters, only do not use your freedom as an opportunity to gratify the desires of your flesh, but through love serve and seek the best for one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in a single command…’You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Gal 5:13-14
