Words of Encouragement –Peace

Romans 8:5-6

5 Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit. 6 If your sinful nature controls your mind, there is death. But if the Holy Spirit controls your mind, there is life and peace. (NLT)

The sinful nature wants to dominate your life. It wants you to have nothing to do with God. It only wants to destroy your witness and your life in Christ. But praise to Jesus that He did not leave us alone in this but sent His Holy Spirit to live within us and to help us in this journey. When we allow the Holy Spirit to have control of our mind we have peace and life. Sin wants to distract us from God’s Will and the Holy Spirit wants to bring us closer to Christ. There is a battle going on for your mind and the one that wins out is the one you feed the most. Do you feed your mind with worldly things or do you feed your mind with the Word of God? The world brings death but Christ and the Holy Spirit brings life and peace. Which one is the better choice? Which one do you choose?
