Self Control The Ninth Fruit of the Spirit
(Egkrateia:) (control of ones emotions and desires)
If you are in control of your actions you have self control. God's Spirit controls us to keep our lives in balance and not trying to get ahead or behind of God in our learning . God through JESUS who teaches us trust in GOD'S word by His grace we have crucified the old man by baptism.
Self-control means also that we do not allow our weaknesses to keep us from obeying God and His Word. Without self control we can not defeat temptations or overcome the work of the flesh. We can not grow in CHRIST or bear the fruits of the spirit. Through CHRIST we have been set free from the domination of sin.
You are given the Gift of interpretation to translate tongues in to spiritual truths Would you trust just anyone to do that Who could put their own words into it. It takes someone who has the Fruit of the Spirit of self control to translate the Holy message.
And every man who takes part in the sports has self-control in all things. Now they do it to get a crown which is of this world, but we for an eternal crown 1 CORINTHIANS 9-25
Be ye angry, and sin not let not the sun go down upon your wrath Neither give place to the devil EPHESIANS 4-26,27
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the spirit against the flesh and these are contrary the one to the other so that ye cannot do the things that ye would
