You Are to Watch and Pray!

“Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
There are times you come to a place of frustration in your Spiritual walk with God. You become frustrated because of the weakness of the flesh. Just when you think that you have overcome a certain bad habit and so forth, you slip again. Just when you think that you have overcome a certain sin or weakness, the temptation comes again and you fall back into it.
This causes frustration. However, do remember that we have been given the ability to pray in the Holy Spirit to strengthen our spirit and to build it up. As this happens, you are strong enough, to overcome the flesh. Let us look at some verses of scripture.
Romans 8:26 “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered” and Jude 20 “But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,” Allow the Spirit of God to strengthen and help you in your walk with God. Instead of being frustrated you will become excited and experience results over bad habits and sins in your life. So, begin to watch and pray.
