DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  COLOSSIANS 3:5

(5)  Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth;  fornication, uncleanness, inordinate, affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 

SUBDUE IT!

Grace be unto you!

Honestly, the earth is a battleground for souls;  inwardly or outwardly, rich or poor, there is some sort of a struggle, concern, problem, either the spiritual or the physical bewildering an individual; some people worry about what is going on in the workplace, some about ailments, some about finances, some about family members, while some worry about others, etc.;  today, my question to you is, are you worried about something?  If you are,  listen to what the Holy Spirit is saying to you, "my beloved, quit worrying yourself about the cares of life, relax, pray your concerns to God, in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, put your trust in him, be peaceful, it is well with you," 

Fruits of thoughts, why do we worry ourselves in this world, when Jesus said;  Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. .cf. John 14:27;  we worry, for we pursue the peace of this world, seek personal fulfillment, joy, from the things of this world, chasing after the lusts of the flesh, cf. 1 John 2:16, rather than looking for the peace through the righteousness of Jesus Christ, cf. Matthew 6:33;  therefore, if you need peace of mind, come to Jesus; have salvation, grace, joy, and everlasting life: read what he said to Nicodemus, St. John 3:1-21;  free yourself from the cares and burdens on your shoulders, pray, read his words every day, trust in him to take care of your problems, enjoy eternal peace.

It is impossible to live in a bubble not to perceive what is going on around you, however, you can prevent yourself from absorbing its influences, if you can resist the temptations;  for example, if you do not drink alcoholic beverages, no matter the occasion, avoid going to a nightclub or a beer bar, thinking, I can handle the temptations when I get there;  know this, there are demonic spirits waiting for you on arrival to tempt you with the glass of alcohol, to make you fall into ungodliness;  there is no smoke without fire, therefore, if you do not want a smoke, do not start a fire; do not go to the alcoholic bar with the drinkers, resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 

Beloved, to peacefully dwell in Jesus, one has to be in spirit, walk in righteousness, for we are in a spiritual battle in this world, the flesh lusted against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh, cf. Galatians 5:17, it does not matter who you are, your position and power, you have a battle within you, to do or not to do;  the only way to overcome the forceful desires pushing against your soul is to turn away from the fleshly behaviors, subdue the lustful desires, what you perceive on a daily basis, be spiritual and prayerful, walk in uprightness.

If you are married, yet you commit adultery,  this type of conduct is unacceptable to Jesus Christ, turn away from it;  you are saved, yet associate with unbelievers, desire to backslide again to the old way of living, the weak and beggarly elements, cf. Galatians 4:9;  to do the same things that you were doing before you surrendered to Jesus Christ, be encouraged to resist the temptations, continue to walk in holiness; seeking after the things that glorify him, anchor yourself in him, bear the fruits of righteousness, shine as lights within the world of darkness.  Jesus loves you!  Amen and Amen!

He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.  Rev. 3::13.  Peace and Love be unto you! 

WORD OF WISDOM:

(KJV.)  Ecclesiastes 11:9-10  Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes:  but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.  Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh:  for childhood and youth are vanity.
