We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but we certainly wrestle with it! Namely our own. Yet the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty in God. In Christ we can do all things, this is a gift of God. Christ, the Only Begotten Son, given unto mankind as Redeemer, in Whom we are more than overcomers. The battle is not ours, but Christ’s Who strengthens us. How are we to overcome? Overcome evil with good. To look down on a women is to lust, therefore, lift up your eyes to heaven. From evil to Good. From selfish pleasure and false-fulfilling desire of the creature, to the fatherly love of the Creator for the created. This is the Love of Christ and how He was able to touch the leper, restore sight to the blind, the lame to walk, the ugly, the orphan, the widows and the poor. This same Love sees the rich, the powerful and the beautiful exactly the same way. It is not a respecter of persons, but a Lover of all He has created. Yet the rich, the powerful and the beautiful are tempted and a temptation while the rest are only tempted. For who would desire to be blind or lame? Resist evil and it will flee from you. Temptations and tribulations are common to man, but Christ has overcome, and in Him, you are more than an overcomer. Forsake not the assembling of the upright, for the company of righteousness is an army. Praising God Who inhabits the praises of His people. Its weapons are the Spirits of God. If one should fall, there are those around to pick him up. And a cord of three is hardly broken.
