Bible Verse of The Day – 9-18-15

Matthew 26:41(NKJV) 41 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Our flesh is weak!

That is why we fall into temptation at times. We can say we will never do it again, but we can’t make any promises. We can try our hardest, but if we don’t do what it takes to fix the problem it will rise again and again.

How does one take care of the problem? It’s called crucifying the flesh. This allows the spirit to lead.

Galatians 5:24(NKJV) 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

What does crucify mean? To put to death: to destroy the power of.

So, those things that we love to do that are not good for us? We need to allow Christ to destroy or take away our passion and desire for them.

We do this by watching and being alert to the things that try to pull on us. Then we ask God for help, to turn from them.

Watch, pray and WIN!

God has good things for us as we avoid the temptation of the flesh.
