Fruit of the Spirit-Self Control so to Reach Your Full Potential!

Whoever has no rule over his own spirit

Is like a city broken down, without walls.

-Proverbs 25:28 New King James Version

I loved the prayer from Joel Osteen's Prayer Email today! I receive it each day, they are wonderful. His ministry is outstanding! I really agree with this Bible verse and Joel's prayer and discussion here. We need law and order, we need discipline, we need respect and we need to have good and positive attitudes as we live our lives here on Earth. I hope you see value in this Bible verse and prayer as I know I did. Have a blessed day and enjoy! God bless! 

It said today:

Build Up the Walls

When you let your feelings control you—anger, impatience, lust, a negative attitude—your walls of defense are down. The enemy can come in and run your life. God has given us self-control. Quit saying, “I can’t stop it. It’s too hard.” You have the ability, but self-control is like a muscle—if you never discipline yourself to walk away when you feel like taking the easy way out, then your self-control muscle is very weak. You have to start exercising it by saying no to your flesh. You have a destiny to fulfill. But as long as you are controlled by these ordinary impulses, God can’t release the amazing things He has in store for your future. Spiritual maturity has nothing to do with how many years you’ve been in church or how long you’ve known the Lord. It has everything to do with what kind of fruit you are displaying. Are you ruling over your emotions?

A Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You that one of the fruit of the Spirit working in me is self-control. Thank You that I don’t have to be a slave to feelings that have tried to control me for years. I believe that as I say no to the flesh, I will reach my highest potential. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
