“ A City Without Walls ”
Your success depends on ruling your spirit. Great men rule their spirits. They resist temptations to react or overreact. They restrain their emotions and manage them for good. They stay in control of their feelings and passions to manage their responses to events.
How safe are you from trouble? If you do not rule your spirit, you are vulnerable to say or do things that could cost you dearly. You may already be damaged by such actions. It is your wisdom to learn how to control and manage your feelings to only do what is right.
Your spirit is your inner self, which controls your actions. When you do not rule your spirit, you are exposed and vulnerable to all sorts of folly and trouble.

“ That Title summarizes The Christian Experience. ”
Both outside the Church and inside the Church ... For I am afraid that when I come, I may not find you as I wish, and you may not find me as you wish. I fear that there may be quarreling, jealousy, rage, rivalry, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorder. - 2 Corinthians 12:20 I am afraid that when I come again, my God will humble me before you, and I will be grieved over many who have sinned earlier and have not repented of their acts of impurity, sexual immorality, and debauchery. - 2 Corinthians 12:21 But if you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out, or you will be consumed by each other. - Galatians 5:15 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. Galatians 5:26 There is Nothing new under the sun. - Ecclesiastes 1:9 |
