8/07 1 Thessalonians 5:19-22
19 Do not stifle the Holy Spirit. 20 Do not scoff at prophecies, 21 but test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good. 22 Keep away from every kind of evil.
EVIL
We are to keep away from every kind of evil. The Lord knows our ability and He knows that we can discipline ourselves with His strength. If we attempt to deal with the spiritual realm in our own strength we will fail miserably. Focus your heart and minds upon the Lord. He will not fail you.
