  Self control has been my lifelong struggle. <br>I was an angry child. <br>My father was an angry man.<br>By God&apos;s Grace I&apos;m not the man I was but the old man refuses to go.

  Crazy to think that the most powerful Being in the universe does not intimidate us into obeying Him. God is so secure. He doesn&apos;t need force and fear. I never thought of it this way. Thank you so much for teaching me this! ❤

  &quot;we are not to intimidate, but we are also not to be intimidated.&quot;

  It&apos;s amazing how God&apos;s word remains true and transcends centuries,decades,generations and years.<br><br>Listening to this message in July 2026 and it &nbsp;holds so true. What a word in season!

  R.C &nbsp;Sproul&apos;s &apos;example of a life like a garden (under the control of the Holy Spirit) compared with the &nbsp;worldly life style of uncontrolled actions resulting in a jungle of sinful desires and actions that ultimately bring spiritual death to the individual.<br>My life was not under the control of the Holy Spirit and that ungodly life style brought only despair and destruction into my own life and to those I loved.<br>When my grandmother talked to me with agape love she changed my world view by explaining &nbsp;to me that I should learn and adopt the values taught by Jesus and then she explained the meaning of <br>Proverbs Chapter 3 verses 5 and 6 &nbsp;and &nbsp;with her gentle heart and the power of the Holy Spirit my life changed forever.<br> I became a follower of Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior.

  This stands in such stark contrast to our leaders today. Such a needed message at every date in time.

  As a 6’5 man i relate to mean joe green. Its hard to walk into a room and people are instantly intimidated just by my presence. I always feel the need to be extremely meek and it took me years to learn the balance
