In order to overcome the flesh, the world and the devil, we must be endowed with power from on-high. Those who are born again are filled with the Holy Spirit of God as well as our Lord Jesus, the Word of God. It is important to regularly use the gifts and empowerment of the Holy Spirit in our life, so that God can fulfill His plan for us and enable us to glorify the Father in Jesus' name as well as to be able to bless other people.

The defeat of Satan and his power over God's children was fully secured for eternity when Jesus was raised from the dead. His resurrection and the acceptance of Jesus as Lord and Saviour enables the sure resurrection of all God's children and victory over the world, the flesh and the Devil.

God's grace is His unmerited favour to all of mankind. God has given man an opportunity to share the goodness and wealth of His treasures and resources with us. God bestows His grace or favour upon us so we can live a sanctified life instead of making it a mess doing it our way.

Teaching your child is a vital part of being a parent. So many parents today don't realise the enormous God given responsibility that they have in educating their children. It is true that much of a child's training, particularly as they get older, is often done outside the home. However the Bible is crystal clear about parents teaching their children about God and His Word and doing it, thoroughly and regularly.

We are told in Leviticus chapter 17 that the life of the flesh is in the blood. We learn that Jesus entered the most Holy Place, with His own Blood. By this He obtained our eternal redemption. Only the Blood of Jesus shed on the Cross can atone for all sin, guilt and shame.

There is so much knowledge in the world but very little real understanding, particularly when it comes to spiritual knowledge. True spiritual knowledge is revealed through the revelation of the Holy Spirit of the truth of God's Word, contained in the Bible.

Discernment is knowing what the reality of a situation really is. Wisdom is being able to appropriate the knowledge of the situation for the best possible outcome. Discernment is absolutely essential when you want to know the difference between what people are saying or intending and the real situation as God sees it.

Sanctification means to be set apart. All that are born again are truly set apart from the world for God's glory and His will and purposes. Samuel, in the Old Testament, as a little boy, was set apart by God to later become the High Priest of Israel. Many people, have through the years, been set apart for God's peculiar services.

We are all faced with eternity. We don't live on this planet forever. We will reside in one or two places. For all who have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Saviour there eternal residence is with God the father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit forever in Heaven. Those who have not accepted will spend eternity in Hell with Satan and his demons.

God is love. He is the source of all true love. Without God's love in our lives we, as humans, will find it impossible to truly love as God loves. God's love must flow constantly through our lives in all situations and circumstances so that the Holy Spirit can truly reveal who God is.
