| INNER
AND OUTER CONFLICT
All
things are born through strife.
HERACLITUS (C. 540–C. 480 B.C.)
He
that wrestles with us strengthens our nerves and sharpens our skill.
Our antagonist is our helper.
EDMUND BURKE (1729–1797)
The
more the Holy Spirit reigns within, the more intensified becomes
the conflict.
--FRANCES J. ROBERTS
The
harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.
--THOMAS PAINE (1737–1809)
Whatever
we have achieved in character we have achieved through conflict.

Finding
Freedom From The Hulk Within!
Sin separates you from others and from God. Bruce Banner certainly
discovered this to be true when his inner monster made him a very
lonely person.
In
Romans 3:25 we read: “For God sent Jesus to take the punishment
for our sins and to satisfy God's anger against us. We are made
right with God when we believe that Jesus shed his blood, sacrificing
his life for us.”
God’s
Incredible Promise:
Galatians 5:22-24 promises that “when the Holy Spirit controls
our lives, he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy,
peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and
self-control... Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the
passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified
them there.
A
Simple Prayer to Overcome the Green Guy in All of Us:
Heavenly Father, I put my trust in Jesus, who sacrificed his life
for me. Please forgive my sins that have separated me from you.
I accept Jesus as the leader and savior of my life. I ask that your
Holy Spirit would fill me with love, joy and peace, helping me overcome
my inner sinful nature. Thank you for your promise of eternal life
with you. In Jesus name, amen |
