Conclusion:
Folks, a truly Spirit-controlled Relationship involves our willingness first to submit ourselves unto the leading of the Holy Spirit of God within us as born again believers and to do things the way God says do them instead of us doing whatever we feel is proper in our own way of thinking!
May we each be willing to submit our own selves to Christ Jesus and His perfect will even as He submitted Himself unto His Heavenly father and to do His perfect will for each of us!
Conqueror’s Class member, let me ask you once again what I asked you earlier at the introduction of the lesson today…Does Your Life Show Forth Evidence Of Being Spirit-Controlled today?
If not, why not? And if not today, then when??
