Galatians 5:16 - "But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh" Be Consistent Consistency is an important part of our walk with the Lord. It is easy to shift our focus away from the simplicity of the Christian life and get into something we call "deeper." We must remember to walk in the Spirit on a daily basis as we seek to learn more about the life that God ha...

Ephesians 5:18 - "Don't drink too much wine, for many evils lie along that path; be filled with the Holy Spirit and controlled by Him."

He is our strength and gives us the power. He teaches us the truth and re...

1 John 1:9 - "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness" Confess Sin Sin separates man from God.

We suffer guilt and fellowship with Christ is broken...

Proverbs 28:13 - "He that covereth his sins shall not prosper, but who so confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy" Identify Sin We have a natural bias to justify our sinful behavior and blame others for our actions and reactions.

When we realize that hope is one of the provisions of God and that it is a result of being filled with joy and peace by the power of the Ho...

1 Thessalonians 3:12 - "And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you" Experiencing God's Love God is the source of love. Love is patient, kind, long-suffering, hardly notices when others do it wrong, doesn't not demand its way and never fails. Love enables us to succeed.

Proverbs 4:23 - "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life." The third destructive natural tendency is blaming people and circumstances for our emotional instability.

The easiest thing to do is to blame others for our resentment, anger, frustr...

It is especially difficult to make a Godly response when our way is right and b...
