But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me.” — Romans 7:21-23 (NLT) In order to win the war in our minds, we must feed the spirit man instead of the flesh. The one we feed the most grows stronger. Instead of fulfilling the desires of our flesh, let us renew our minds with the Word of God. …let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. (See Romans 12:2 NLT) And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

Thanks be to God [for my delive...

Then he said to me, “This is what the LORD says to Zerubbabel: It is not by force nor by strength, but by my Spirit, says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.” — Zechariah 4:6 (NLT) This is what the LORD says: “Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans, who rely on human strength and turn their hearts away from the LORD.” (Jeremiah 17:5 NLT) Put no confidence in human strength, instead, be led by the Holy Spirit of GOD, Who dwells within you.

“Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren; even though the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty, yet I will rejoice in the LORD! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!” — Habakkuk 3:17-18 (NLT) No matter what the doctor’s report says, or what the balance is on the bank statement, continue to rejoice in Yahweh.
