Greetings,
Once you have been empowered by the Holy Spirit, never underestimate your ability to overcome whatever obstacle in life you may face.
Colossians 3:8 (NKJV) – “But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth.”
“You yourselves” can put off all those destructive habits. But does that mean you can do it alone? Oh, no! God will give you the power to overcome, once you have made up your mind that those habits cannot stay!
So, should you wait for God to take care of this problem for you? Never. That’s why Paul said “you yourselves” must take action. When you act, God will act right along with you. But He will do nothing until you begin to tackle those issues we humans must deal with.
Father God, help me to overcome those things that are so hurtful to me … that I still love. Give me the grace to face my own weaknesses and the strength to conquer them, in Jesus’ Name!
Today, I’m worshiping with Geoffrey Golden and “Glory to the Lamb.”
We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!
Pastor
