Fortified: Developing Self-Control In A World That Is Out of Control

by Dr Johnny B Young Jr

As we look around us we all come to the conclusion that we are surrounded by opportunity and temptation of all kinds. We make confessions to live in discipline only to struggle with commitment to those same ideas. We start diets and journey but for only a moment. We begin a fitness regiments only find our newly purchased equipment stashed in the corner as it is currently used as a new destination for clothes, boxes and the like. These are trivial items, but the lack of self-control is no laughing matter. We currently find ourselves submerged in a culture where we have cast off all restraint. Practicing self-control is considered taboo and even antiquated. The “do what you feel and live how you want” culture is sweeping through the land like a uncontrollable flood. To witness the promotion of the desire to yield to any impulse that arise and to hear the encouragement to do so, is heartbreaking and can even feel overwhelming at times.

The goal of the enemy is to introduce and implement a culture that has no boundaries, commitment or self-control and so far, he has done a good job. Even believers are being carried away with the apathetic attitude towards personal discipline. Hence the purpose for this book, my goal is quite simple, prayerfully every person reading this book will yield their members unto the teachings of the Spirit of God to begin the journey of practicing the Kingdom Characteristic of Self-Control. Welcome to the Kingdom Character revolution!
