I remember a conversation once, where someone remarked with sincerity they wished that they were like me. That of course brought about the question of who did they think I was?

After shuffling their feet just a little they said, you know Christian. My dumbfounded look allowed them enough time to further explain saying a real Christian… saved. It prove to be quite an icebreaker as I know, as we all should know that it is by God’s grace that we are saved.

The apostle Paul described in the scripture above how the struggle is real. Being a Christian does not mean that you don’t struggle with the things of this world. 

It does not mean at all the things that you were before Christ do not try to stake a reclamation. Being a Christian means that you make a conscious effort daily to put the flesh under subjection or as Paul said letting the flesh die daily. 

Beloved the struggle is real and the flesh fights an unfair and malicious battle, so times you fall short, but simply get up, get back in line and kill the flesh yet again. 

  

God bless you and command your day!!!
