How do you make your good intentions manifest?

An evil person cannot produce good fruit.

Your born again does not transform or change your character. It only saves your spirit from destruction.

You can’t be good and be evil at the same time..
And you can’t be evil and be good at the same time..
To overcome evil with good is to submit to the Lord, resist any activity of the devil in your life and get him to flee from you.

When you have evil thought, the Bible said we should displace it with good thoughts.
FLEE FROM EVERY APPEARANCE OF EVIL THINKING.

But if the devil wants to turn it into evil, displace that thought immediately.
