“Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.”

All,
This stands out because Paul says, “But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.” Can you tell when you are being driven by the flesh as opposed to the Spirit. I know I sense a strong sense of “self” or entitlement and lose a sense of peace that was there. When we notice this change, we can ask God to fill us with His Spirit and protect us since temptation is pretty strong. Please pray that we and our friends abide in the Spirit today. Please pray for for a Christian revival in our country.
