OUR DAILY BREAD: Philippians 4:7, Also Galatians 5:16-25
THE LIFE of PEACE:
In Perth, Australia, there's a place called Shalom House where men struggling with addictions go to find help. At Shalom House, they'll meet caring staff members who introduce them to God's shalom (Hebrew for peace). Lives crushed under the weight of addictions to drugs, alcohol, gambling, and other destructive behaviors are being transformed by the love of God. Peace isn't merely the absence of conflict; it's the presence of God's wholeness. As the HOLY SPIRIT operates in our lives, He generates His fruit that includes love, joy, patience, and more ( Gal.5:22-23). He gives us that vital element of true, enduring peace. As the SPIRIT enables us to live in God's "shalom," we learn to bring our needs and concerns to our heavenly Father Jehovah. In Christ's Spirit, our hearts experience true "shalom".
SO I SAY, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh!
For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh.
The Spirit and the flesh, are in conflict with each other. ( They dislike each other strongly)!
IF YOU ARE LED BY THE SPIRIT, YOU ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW.
This is the "acts" of the flesh, which is obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred , discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like.
I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this WILL NOT INHERIT the KINGDOM OF GOD!
BUT; the FRIUT of THE SPIRIT IS; love, joy peace. forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, gentleness and self-control.
Against such things there is no law.
Once again, those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by The Spirit, let us keep in step with The Spirit. The Spirit inspires hope, and empowers us for God-honoring living and fruitfulness that includes " love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. (Ask Jesus to help you read the Bible and let Him help you to understand, The Word of GOD).

TIMES of TEMPTATION and GOD IS GREATER:
We all struggle with temptation, In fact, even Jesus was tempted, but HE resisted and never sinned. From this, it's clear that experiencing temptation is not in itself a transgression. However, if we let the enticement tale foot in our thoughts, we are heading toward sin. Obviously, taking action on a wrong yearning is sinful, but Scripture tells us that entertaining the evil desire is as well (Col.3:5). So where does the "URGE" to sin come from? The source is threefold:
Temptation comes from our own lusts (James 1:14), the devil (Matt.4:1), and the world system organized under Satan's authority (1John5:19). Until Christ returns, mankind will live in its current fallen condition-and we will be tempted by self-indulgent pursuits and Satan's ploys to turn us from the Lord Jesus. The tempting circumstances we encounter are not unique to us; others have faced similar situations. Although GOD doesn't promise to rescue us from all temptations, HE limits them and provides a way of escape so we can endure without yielding to sin.
WHENEVER SOMETHING IS TEMPTING YOU, DRAW NEAR ON SUBMISSION TO GOD JEHOVAH AND RESIST THE devil (James 4:7-8). Then ask the LORD for the grace and strength to stand firm against sin.
Everyone faces challenges in life, whether financial, vocational, relational, physical, or spiritual. When trouble comes, as it inevitably will, we should waste no time in bringing it to God. He is still the sovereign, powerful God who has proven HIMSELF faithful and promises to listen to our prayers. We should never underestimate the Lord's interest in our affairs. He will help HIS CHILDREN today, just as He helped before in the past.
It's easy to think our problems are unimportant to God Jehovah, but He doesn't feel that way at all. Whatever concerns us concerns our FATHER. And remember: No matter how great our challenges are, God is greater.
REMEMBER:
Satan is scared of YOU finding out the REAL TRUTH THAT THE BIBLE TELLS. Satan is scared you'll pick that book up and read it. He doesn't want anyone to read the BIBLE, because then he knows he'll loose you and won't be able to take you with him to "hell", where he'll live forever, when Jesus comes back and (HE WILL), rather anyone wants to believe that or not, that's when Satan no-longer has control to deceive us anymore!
GOD BLESS.
