Being In
Control
by Evangelist Myrl Eddings
How can we be
in control when everything is out of control? As we write this
message we ourselves are also searching for better control of our own
walk with God. We know the scripture tells us to study to
show ourselves approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to
be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15
Now a lot of the time, we now what we need to doubt fail to do what we
know sometimes we don' t think things out but allow anger or fear to
speak out in us before we stop to think out or choose out what we say.
The scripture says to be quick to think and slow to speak. James 1:19
We know that Jesus warnes us of the things to come upon us. People
will become lovers of their own selves more than lovers of God, lovers
of pleasure, etc 2 Timothy 3:2
The
lord also warns that Satan has come down having great wrath, because he
knoweth that he hath but a short time. Rev. 12:12 We need self
control when things befall us as thou some strange thing as happened
unto us. We need to remember that Jesus died for all of us not
willing that any should perish but for all to come to repentence.
First
of all we need to repent of our sins and walk in the Spirit of God if
your not filled with the Holy Ghost then seek him with all your heart
until you are filled with the Holy Ghost and if we have the Holy Ghost,
repent that we have not been lead of the Spirit.
So
what ever befalls us in life is not always Gods will, sometime we may
suffer a loss. We are not exempt from troubles.
We
need to cast down every evil thought that comes to our mind. Job
did not accuse God when he lost his children and his wealth, but said
the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away and blessed be the name of the
Lord.
People of God put on your sober mind and lets trust in God even though
we don't understand some things that happen. We know that Jesus is
praying for us! Help us to be more patient and not be hasty with
our words or action. Remember we are saved by grace through faith
and that not of our selves but a gift of God. We need to shut off our
ways of thinking and put on the mind of Christ.
We
can do this through Christ, let us put on the whole armour of God and
walk with the leading and knowledge of the Holy Ghost, we can make a
difference in those around us as the light cannot be hid.
