Win The Battle Over The Flesh
Steve Hill ^

Posted on 11/03/2012 8:57:39 AM PDT by virgil283

"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. He’s waiting to slip into your life when you’re unaware, at a time when you think everything is fine and nothing’s 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 you’re not reading the Word on a daily basis, something’s wrong. You’re on the wrong kind of spiritual fast. You’re giving up spiritual food that is absolutely vital to your spiritual, mental and physical health."
