"Jesus exhorts us, Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit truly is willing, but the flesh is weak (Mark 14:38). To watch means to be sober, to stay alert. To pray means to be in continual communion with God. The devil is crafty. Hes waiting to slip into your life when youre unaware, at a time when you think everything is fine and nothings going to happen. That is why you must stay sober and alert, 24/7. You can win the battle by filling yourself with the Word of God. My friend, if youre not reading the Word on a daily basis, somethings wrong. Youre on the wrong kind of spiritual fast. Youre giving up spiritual food that is absolutely vital to your spiritual, mental and physical health."
Amen.
