We’re going to talk about the irresistible fruit of self control.
It’s not always in your best interest to take every package that comes your way.
Read carefully the label, before you except it. Spiritually it’s the same way. We will consider “thoughts and impressions,” packages when we’re dealing with this subject.
Let’s say for instance your going along feeling fine, the all of a sudden a pain strikes you in the leg; and right behind that pain comes along the thought or impression, “your getting arthritis, you better go have that checked out right away.” Yet another thought, based in the word of God is trying to rise up saying, “put that out immediately! By his stripes you are healed.” And You gain the mastery over your mind and will and emotions and you speak Emphatically to that pain, “I resist you, you leave my body now! I don’t receive that in Jesus Name. By his stripes I am healed.” You are exercising a form of self control. Then that package the evil one tried to get you to sign for will be stamped “returned to sender”. It’s very important to learn to control your mind to what the words says, so that your speech and actions will follow.
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Isaiah 53:5
In his service:
Minister Alberta Richard
