As you read the exhortations from 1 Thessalonians 5, what did you think ?,because they are very challenging,we may think its impossible,they are to much.Yes if you yourself sought to practice those words , but the good news is God can help, He has given us His Spirit,not just a favoured few,that is if you are a true Christian, And so we read in Galatians 5 v 16, ''So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful flesh.So we have a choice,the flesh, given into our sinful nature,or submitting to Gods Holy Spirit. We will not always make the right choice, when we make the wrong choice,confess and repent, God will forgive and restore. ( 1 John 1 v 9 ) Yield not to temptation for yielding is sin, Each victory will help you some other to win; Fight manfully onward, dark passions subdue, Look ever to Jesus,He'll carry you through. Shun evil companions, bad language disdain, God's name hold in reverence,nor take in vain; Be thoughtful and earnest, kind hearted and true; Look ever to Jesus, He'll carry you through. To him that o'ercometh God giveth a crown; Through faith we shall conquer, though often cast down; He who is our Saviour our strength will renew; Look ever to Jesus, He'll carry you through. Ask the Saviour to help you , Comfort, strengthen, and keep you; He is willing to aid you, He will carry you through. (Words/ H.R Palmer )
