DEFEAT THE ENEMY

When we stop to reflect on our actions, we can place them on a scale: What did I do to obtain good results? Or what could I have done differently to get results?
I do not speak of results in my life but the life of the people because as servants we do not think about ourselves, we should not have desires or wills, but we should be in the center of the will of our Lord. And for us to truly bring results to people's lives, because we are a channel for people to receive the blessings, it is very important to overcome ourselves, daily. Controlling our impulses, the will of our flesh, situations we face daily, thoughts and concerns. Only when we defeat ourselves, can we overcome our worst enemy, which in most cases is within us. We overcome our will when we do not want to be in another place or another country different from where God has us. We do not speak what we want, instead what God wants us to speak, we do not think about what we want, rather think about what pleases God, we do not act as we want, but act as God wills. In practice, this is not so simple or easy. From my own experience, I see a spiritual maturity in my everyday life, struggling every day to overcome my will and, of course, the benefits have been wonderful. Responses that come directly from the throne of God and a wonderful fellowship with the Lord that is priceless.
Before making decisions or taking action, we must think "How would God want me to act in this situation?" So everything becomes clearer, and the fire of faith is always on, showing us the true supernatural power of God.
