Self-Help Christians?

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

Here is some advice to lean on God for our strength and support.

"Self-help" is a threat to God's children. The temptation to fight our battles in our own strength and with our own supply line and not with the Holy Spirit dates back to Adam and Eve. The Apostle Paul chastised the Christians at Galatia for their self-help ways: "Are you foolish? Having begun by the Holy Spirit are you now being perfected by the flesh?"

 The word "flesh" represents all we can do apart from God's Holy Spirit and that will never work. Prevailing over the gates of hell and silencing the many voices of evil is totally in step with God's purpose for your life. You want it, but in your strength you simply can't get it. God is ready and willing and very eager to do with you what you can't do by yourself.

 Ask Him, then let Him.
