DON'T FEED IT KILL IT

1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so you can stand up under it.

We can kill anything if we don't feed it. Don't feed anger by holding on to unforgiveness; kill it with the Word. Don't feed jealousy by allowing negative thoughts in; kill it with the Word. Don't feed gossip by carrying it to the next person. Kill it with silence and the Word. We have the power to kill anything in our lives that's not a part of Him.

Father, help us nourish our Spirit daily so it does not die. Lord, help us grow and mature into the new nature of Christ. Lord, let the Word penetrate our hearts and minds, so we do not gratify the desires of our flesh. Lord, let Your thoughts be our thoughts to help put to death our sinful nature. Let the love in our hearts for You kill hatred, jealousy, rage, addiction, adultery, envy, and unforgiveness; to give You room to move in our lives powerfully. Father, let the Spirit prune our Fruit of peace, patience, kindness,  goodness, generosity, and self-control. Lord, strengthen our faith, crucify our fear and doubts, and kill all that's not of You. In Jesus' name Amen
