But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do.Galatians 5:16-17 (ESV)
You know whenever you plan to do what’s right, the enemy tries to sabotage the plan. Distraction, temptation, interference, anything that causes you to lose focus and not complete the task. But we can use a similar tactic. Whenever we’re tempted to do wrong, or stop good practice, we can use prayer, scripture and faith to overcome the enemy. And who is the stronger? ‘He who is in you is greater…..’ (1 John 4:4)
Father, I thank You for Your strength, Your wisdom, Your faith and everything that I need for victorious living. Thank You that during temptation You always provide the way of escape, so that I can be free to walk by the Spirit. Lord I thank You and praise You for giving me authority...over all the power of the enemy. Amen.
