NO
RULE
Proverbs
25 vs. 28: He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is
broken down, and without walls. Many a times the
spirit is willing not to, but the flesh does. The bible said the spirit is
willing, but the flesh is weak. We must bring the flesh to subjection, so we
don’t expose ourselves to the devil and his cohorts and also be a castaway at
the end. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 9
vs. 27: But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection; lest that by
any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
Having rule over one’s spirit is important. It is self-control! Many find it
difficult controlling themselves; self-control mist be applied in all we do.
Esau sold his birthright to Jacob, because he lacked self-control for his
appetite. Moses’s anger caused him a lot; he could not get to the promise land.
Joseph’s ability to control himself sexually took him from prison to palace. 1 Corinthians 3 vs. 16-17: Know ye not that
ye are the temple of GOD, and that the Spirit of GOD dwelleth in you? If any
man defile the temple of GOD, him shall GOD destroy; for the temple of GOD is
holy, which temple ye are. We are GOD’s temple, He expects us to be pure
and holy. His spirit in us helps us do the things of the spirit. When one does
the things of the flesh, he has no rule over his own spirit, but when one do
the things of the Spirit he will have rule over his spirit. Galatians 5 vs. 16: This I say then, walk
in the spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. The devil
looks for loop holes to enter into our lives, walking in the flesh gives him
that access. Also, walking in the spirit of GOD denies the devil of that
access. Self-control is easy when one is filled with the Spirit of GOD. The
bible says in Ephesians 5 vs. 18: And be
not drunk with wine, wherein in excess; but be filled with the Spirit. The
GOD’s Spirit helps men’s spirit, provided men can live in holiness and
righteousness. GOD’s Spirit only dwells in a hearts that is pure and clean, who
has not lifted up his soul to vanity nor sworn deceitfully. The bible said
vanity upon vanity all is vanity. Many men have lifted up their soul to vain
things, things that please the flesh and does not edify the spirit. 1 Corinthians 10 vs. 23: All things are
lawful for me, but all things are not expedient; all things are lawful for me,
but all things edify not. All things of the world, edifies not the spirit,
but the flesh. The earlier we know this the better for us. Many are not
controlled in the aspect of sleeping; they sleep when they should pray.
Praying, fasting, studying and meditation of GOD’s word, speaking in the Holy
Ghost edifies the spirit. Get a copy of my new book Are you a Boulder or an Outcrop? It is well with us….
