Rick the more i think about it we are to live as overcomers not strugglers since the day i decided to turn away from the sin that was controlling my life i never fell back into old sinful patterns not once, was i tempted many many times.The Lord will work
in our lives one area at a time he needs us to give him full control so if an area is taking control we do need to
hand it to him so he can change us.How do we do it immediately we say Lord you know i am weak but
in you i am strong i leaned on him and overcame time and time again.We all have areas of weakness that we struggle
in so do nt feel bad.Struggling is us trying to do it
in our own strength before this process i was so stubborn i refused to let God help me i wanted to do it
in my own strength and so it was a roller coaster ride
in my christian walk if the day went well i was on a high if it did nt i would would be down.Not any more now when things do nt go to plan i still thank the Lord and when it goes well i thank the Lord.Because i know that all things work for good to those
who love the Lord.The main area he is wanting is our hearts he wants all our heart not only some until we come to that place we will continue to struggle
in our faith.The only reason to tell you this is not to boast because of what i have done
in myself because i have nothing to boast about but if i did i would brag that Christ has empowered me by his holy spirit to be an overcomer just as he would want you to be.As Christians we are all called to be overcomers more than conquerers.Make a decision today to turn all your hearts to the Lord to acknowledge the areas you are
holding onto that are controlling your flesh life
hand them to the Lord and walk according to the spirit and not the flesh and he will give you the victory.That can be a reality starting today merry christmas everyone and may the new year be an exciting one as we put all our trust
in Christ our Lord and savior.Brentnz
