God: There is a war going on inside of you between your flesh and my Spirit. Your spirit is willing, but your flesh is weak. You have been so discouraged because it's hard for your flesh not to get it's own way. It's hard when the devil attacks your mind even harder because you are working with me. But that's why I tell you in my Word to keep your mind on me, to encourage yourself in me, to sing to me, to praise me, to talk to me, and to stay very close to me. The battle with the devil is mine and I have already won, but you have to press on with me. Don't ever give up. It's going to be hard sometimes. Your flesh is going to suffer, but keep working with me and I will comfort you along the way. I will never leave you or forsake you. The benefits are not only rewards and blessings along the way, but peace that passes all understanding when you surrender all and completely trust me. You will have no more fear because you will know in your heart that I love you so much that I would never let anything happen to you that wasn't for your own good. You will gain my fruit coming out of your spirit, love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance.
Me: Thank you, Father. I will press on. I will keeping running my race, as the Apostle Paul said. I will keep working with you to crucify my flesh, so your Spirit can work through my spirit without my flesh getting in the way.
