- 0:00Speaker 1: Good morning, Good morning. It is time for us to
- 0:02Speaker 1: go to God in prayer, and as always I ask
- 0:06Speaker 1: that you join along with me in prayer. And you know,
- 0:10Speaker 1: I've been kind of dealing with some of these things
- 0:12Speaker 1: that sometimes we go through as Christians. You know, anger, frustration, worry,
- 0:17Speaker 1: and all of these Galatians five nineteen through twenty one
- 0:21Speaker 1: kind of speaks to that. Y'all. We all have situations
- 0:25Speaker 1: in our lives that frustrate us, that upset us and
- 0:27Speaker 1: make us mad. But we've got to be careful how
- 0:30Speaker 1: we handle those situations because you know your flesh is
- 0:33Speaker 1: a mess. Well, I won't speak for y'all. I'll speak
- 0:36Speaker 1: for me. My flesh is a mess, and it will
- 0:39Speaker 1: rise up. Ooh child. The word talks about in Galatians
- 0:42Speaker 1: five nineteen through twenty one. The acts of the flesh
- 0:45Speaker 1: are obvious sexual immorality, impurity, debauchery, idolatry and witchcraft, hatred, discord, jealousy,
- 0:54Speaker 1: fensive rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy, drunkenness, orgies
- 1:01Speaker 1: and the like. I warn you, as I did before,
- 1:05Speaker 1: that those who live like this will not inherit the
- 1:09Speaker 1: kingdom of God, you know, so often in the world.
- 1:14Speaker 1: We are faced with so many things that we see
- 1:17Speaker 1: with our eyes on television and all the things that
- 1:21Speaker 1: we hear in the music and what's going on around us.
- 1:26Speaker 1: We got to make sure that while we are in
- 1:28Speaker 1: the world, we are not of the world, that we
- 1:32Speaker 1: don't act like the world hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage,
- 1:38Speaker 1: selfish ambition, envy, drunkenness. Oh, Father God, in the name
- 1:42Speaker 1: of Jesus Christ, you said in your word to be holy.
- 1:46Speaker 1: That wasn't a suggestion, God, that was a command to
- 1:49Speaker 1: be holy. So, Father, God, forgive us for the times
- 1:53Speaker 1: where we've missed the mark or we failed you. Those
- 1:56Speaker 1: things we've done knowingly, and sometimes God, those things we've
- 1:59Speaker 1: done unknowingly. Search our hearts. God show us where we
- 2:04Speaker 1: may be dealing with some jealousy or some anger issues
- 2:08Speaker 1: or selfishness in our hearts. God, reveal those things to
- 2:11Speaker 1: us so that we can deal with them. God, you said,
- 2:14Speaker 1: and you're worth that if any man lacks wisdom, you
- 2:16Speaker 1: would liberally give to him, and a braid if not,
- 2:19Speaker 1: you won't hold back. So God, we ask for wisdom
- 2:21Speaker 1: and how to deal with situations where we're frustrated or
- 2:24Speaker 1: we're angry or we're disappointed, and even times, God, when
- 2:28Speaker 1: we're lonely or sad or whatever the emotion. God, help
- 2:33Speaker 1: us to turn to You and not to the world's
- 2:35Speaker 1: way of handling things. God, we want to be pleasing
- 2:38Speaker 1: in your sight. We want to honor you with our lives.
- 2:42Speaker 1: Help us put our flesh under subjection to you in
- 2:47Speaker 1: Jesus' name. Amen,
