Proverbs 16:32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

Yes, I agree with what you are saying here. I see that. So, where does it begin? Understanding our role in the Kingdom of God, which would then enable us to know that we can walk after the Spirit and not the flesh. It is as though we expect to make mistakes because of our human nature. I also don't think we would want to take it so far as to think we are infallible. So, where do we find a balance and not push ourselves over the top?
I've seen people start out, powerful, in the spirit and end up a wreck, KWIM? The don't seem to be able to find a balance. So, by that example, others pull back in fear. I have so many things to say, but I don't have the time to sit and articulate that as well as I would like.
