In matthew 16:24 Jesus tells his disciples: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Many times our flesh will cause us to go after or desire things that we know as a follower of Jesus we should not.
The particular temptation may be something we would like to consume,watch,touch or listen to.
As we grow in grace(titus 2:11-12),wisdom and strength we are better able to resist these things.
We also learn how to put on the whole armor of God which helps us fight off temptations more efficiently.
Can you list some things that God has helped you to be able to deny yourself daily in order to be a follower and disciple of Jesus Christ?
