  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 พ.ย. 2018
  • Picture a tug-of-war contest. Two sides struggle against each other, straining to gain control. Can both sides win? Of course not-that’s the nature of the game.
    In this message, Dr. Stanley sheds light on the internal conflict each of us must face: the battle between obeying God or indulging our flesh. It’s a high-stakes struggle with only one winner. But as children of God we’re not left on our own-with the Holy Spirit on our side, we’re each equipped with self-control. Learn how this fruit of the Spirit tips the scales in your favor.
    This message is part of the series, Expressing Godly Character.

      All you have to do is accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and you will be saved. John 3:16.
      He paid it all already. Surrender all to Him, seek Him and His guidance everyday. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Hebrews 13:5. God bless you.

    Speaking from experience, dont worry anout trying to fix anything. Dont waste another thought or moment of effort.
    Instead, close your eyes and thank the Lord for everything. Thank him because he’s still calling on your heart. Give yourself a little grace and pray for patience in your battle against sin. In time, everything will seemingly fall off. One thing though, you must take those steps to put yourself in a place where you CAN come to the Lord without the worldly distractions.
    To anyone reading this, dont you worry about a thing. The Lord WILL see you through whatever struggle you’re going through. Keep your head up brother or sister ♥️

    Putting my faith and trust in Jesus Christ transformed my soul my heart and my mind. I was addicted to heroin and Methamphetamine for 12 years day in day out. I put my faith in Jesus Christ and I haven't had to pick up a pipe or a needle in almost 2 years. My 3 year old daughters pray with me every night. Thats the greatest gift I could ever give them is the good news of the love Jesus Christ. He hasn't failed me.

    My notes from Dr. Charles Stanley's sermon on 'Keys To Self Control.'
    1. Think before you act.
    2. How will my actions affect me spiritually, financially and physically?
    3. How will my actions affect how others see me?
    4. What are the consequences of my actions?
    5. You reap what you sow, more than you sow and much later than you sow and whatever is done is done.
    6. It's dangerous to hear the Gospel and then ignore it.
    Thank you Dr. Stanley for this message.

    Abba Father, I come into complete agreement with this message since I feel there is a necessity for more self-control in my life. I repent of feeling angry, but I do not want to be controlled by other people who can not even control themselves and are wicked psychopaths without Christ. I am sorry God for not having the best mood, but I am hoping you are willing to hear me and change my situation to have more self-control and others in need of change, in the name and blood of Christ, putting lack of self-control under the feet of Christ! Amen and hallelujah and all my gratitude Lord almigthy!

Thank you Dr. Stanley! I'm trying to be chaste! But in a world full of stress, anxiety, pain and pressure to meet the worlds standards, its really hard to not take pleasure in something!
