Holy Spirit miracles - Power of God - Power from aboveSelf-control Man must become the master of his body, his body must not master him. The carnal man despises the Holy Spirit and doesn't exercise self-control. By self control we must overcome all the passions of the flesh, since he who produces the fruits of the Holy Spirit belongs to Christ and has crucified the flesh with all its passions.[Galatians 5:24] One good way to overcome the flesh is fasting and prayer, by overcoming the desires of the body for food, the soul learns to be deprived by the authority of the will and the result is self-control. Couples can agree to exercise self-control only for set periods of time, say during lent, during holy days of obligation or Fridays as an act of penance, but always remembering that they must not deprive each other of their conjugal rights. The husband's body belongs to the wife and the wife's body belongs to the husband, otherwise satan may lead each other to lose self-control.[1 Corinthians 7:3-5] Holy Spirit miracles - Power of God - Power from above Author: Joseph of Jesus and Mary ©
