Maybe you're in a perilous or a painful place again. This time it looks like there is no way out of this, Flash, but then it's looked like that before at the end of other episodes and you're still here. Get some perspective. Stand back. Remember a lifetime of the Lord's rescues. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/never-turn-off-the-alarm-6781 2013-01-07T09:59:52-05:00 If the missile of sin's destruction is headed your way, I guarantee you, the Holy Spirit's alarm is going off in you now.

It's time to get control again. There's an important spiritual reason for passing up that food I don't need, the drink I should never use, the sexual flirtations I should avoid. My body uncontrolled will wage war against my soul! http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/supporting-the-weak-spot-6635 2012-06-15T10:36:05-05:00 Re-program yourself by thinking Scripture where you usually think sin, and then hammer the Devil with God's Word and a response that is biblical whenever temptation comes.
