Make No Provision for the Flesh

By Evelyn W. Miller Ph.D

A starving spirit becomes weakened and the flesh becomes stronger. The flesh begins to speak louder to us, and we begin to give in to the flesh. We make provisions for it. Romans 13:14 says, But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lust.

Evelyn W. Miller Ph.D

God has gifted me with a knowing-to be able to say the right thing at the right time orally and/or written. Life and observations through the years have taught me many lessons. Becoming a Christian and studying God’s word has helped me to see how we have opened the door to the enemy without realizing what we are doing. Studying and receiving revelation knowledge of God’s word has caused me to make changes in my life. I realize God’s yoke is easy and His burden is light. I am a retired educator and administrator. I am a licensed Christian and Pastorial Counselor. My husband and I have been married 50 years. We recently relocated to Tyler, Texas from West Palm Beach, Fl. We are enjoying all of the great blessing of the Lord. God has called me to be a part of equipping the people of God for the work of the ministry.
