As believers we have personal power and that power is self-discipline. Christians without discipline lack personal power. Jesus fasted for 40 days and nights, disciplining His flesh.
How Do We Build Our Personal Power?
There are ways that we can build up our self-discipline. Read His Word, meditate on His Word and act on His Word.
Acting on His Word can be taking action or in some cases being self-disciplined enough, to not act based on fleshly desires.
Sometimes we want to change a behaviour but it seems like such a large, daunting prospect. Pick one small area you would like to improve your self-discipline and work on that area first. Everything does begin with a single step.
As a believer we can be equipped and grow to receive the things of the Spirit. As we develop our spirit and discipline our flesh, when faced with temptations we can pull on God’s training and Word in us to respond and achieve success.
It is great that you are enjoying my blogs. The scripture memory method has helped me and I hope it will be a blessing for you also.
I enjoyed reading your blogs. I went back to the very first one. Also I am going to check out Scripture memorization by Charlotte Mason.
