Joyce Meyer: Promises for Your Everyday Life - a Daily Devotionalનમૂનો

You Can Win the Battle Today Right now, you and I are in the middle of a war. As long as we live in this world, we are going to have to resist becoming like it. It's a daily battle, and sadly, the church today is full of worldly, carnal, fleshly believers. But if we want to live in a way that can change our world, then we have to stop living in the flesh and start living in the Spirit. Every one of us needs to continually make adjustments to put our fleshly desires under the Holy Spirit's control and not let our emotions or mind rule us. Scripture explains that the spirit wars against the flesh and the flesh wars against the spirit, so they are continually antagonistic toward each other. It's a war! The devil hates us, and he is constantly working overtime trying to make sure that we give in to the flesh. Ultimately, you decide who wins in your life. You don't have to be subject to your flesh. You can live in the Spirit, bringing your flesh in line with His Will. You can win the battle today. Prayer Starter: God, I want to win the battle today. My flesh will lead to death, but living in Your Spirit leads to life. I choose Your Spirit today. Help me bring my flesh in line with Your will.
