Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.

Meekness and Temperance: God’s Provisions to Overcome the Flesh

Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.

Meekness and temperance are part of the provisions that God has given us to overcome the flesh. Whether that’s keeping our tongue, our thoughts, our temper, or our anger under God’s control, God has made provision for it all. Since God’s Spirit is doing the work in us, we’re not “using” these tools. We must surrender to them and by doing so, God helps us to overcome.

God Has "Amened" the Building of His Church

Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.

The faith that’s spoken of in Galatians 5:22 is more than just exercising faith in response to hearing God’s Word, or the gift of faith that’s spoken of in 1 Corinthians 12. It’s an attribute of God, an added measure of faith which He deposits in us as part of His nature. When we stand on God’s statement of faith that He has ‘amened’ the building of His church, then we can expect to be used as His conduits to make that statement come to pass.

Being Profitable to God and Operating in His Goodness

Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.

The fruit of the Spirit listed in Galatians 5 describes attributes of God in us. The fruit of gentleness is not a description of a weak Christian. The original Greek word is better translated as useful or profitable to God or our fellow man. When we yield to God, He will enable us and make us profitable to Him and His goodness will be operating in us.

Longsuffering: There Is No Crown without the Cross

Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.

Don’t come into the body of Christ thinking you won’t have to suffer. Part of the equipment God has given us to accomplish His work on earth is longsuffering. When we get out of ourselves and look at longsuffering from God’s perspective, the effects teach us a lesson: there is no crown without the cross, and we are being transformed by the power of God’s new nature deposited in us.

God's Promise of Peace

Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.

When we yield ourselves as surrendered vessels, He will give us peace.

The Joy that Comes from God

Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.

The joy that comes from God is completely separate and distinct from fleshly, carnal joy or happiness. It is not natural to us and we cannot will to have it.

Building for God Begins with Expressing Gratitude

Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.

Part of our spiritual problems stem from a lack of deeper connection with God. We must examine the nature of our relationship, and where we may be lacking in order to move forward.

Quench Not the Spirit: How to Yield to God

Understand the Bible? Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.

When we resist or put off God, we are quenching the Holy Spirit in us. However, if we yield ourselves to God, He will enable us for His purposes. Yielding to God is not about what works we can do for Him; it is about what He is able to do in us and through us as yielded vessels to His will.

Writing to the Thessalonians, Paul prayed that the God of peace may wholly sanctify us upon Christ's return, and until then that He would watch over us and preserve us. We are not sinless; the flesh is at war with the Spirit, and there is the possibility we will succumb to temptation, but when we take a step back to God, He is quick to meet us. The finishing process will not be completed in our lifetimes, but those who come to know God and His ways and who keep faithing in Him are being transformed and preserved. VF-2206 1Thessalonians 5:23
