Fellow Warrior,
Good morning! I pray that your day is off to a great start and that your week was productive. This is Isaiah, Cliff's son, and I will be writing today's message "Self-Control." At times, keeping yourself from outbursts of anger or eating just one more donut can be extremely difficult. Self-Control is one of the fruits of the Spirit according to Galatians 5:22. God wants us to avoid failing victim to the corruptness of the flesh. The enemy puts distractions like things that get us angry or food that looks really delicious that we will most likely indulge in. Anger and gluttony do not come from God and when our moderation falls out of place, we lose grip on who controls. Without the Spirit, the enemy takes control instead of us controlling the desires of our flesh. Galatians 5:25, "If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit." Have a fantastic weekend and may the Spirit guide you!
