1. I do not know how you react to situations: If you tend toward revenge or harbor resentment and bitterness, it does you no good. When these feelings persist, they reveal roots of bitterness that need to be uprooted. Therefore, let us always do good to one another and to everyone, no matter what they do to us. Whoever harbors resentment, loses joy, and cannot experience true satisfaction (1 Thessalonians 5:15-16).
2. Besides calling upon the name of the Lord and pondering His word, we have other tools: the energizing chamber, refined immersion, and the war cry. All of this helps us to pray without ceasing, for the Word is like a river of living water that leads us to the presence of the Lord. We also need to learn to give thanks in all circumstances. And you, have you been complaining before God? Let us not be like this. As long as we persist in murmuring, we remain trapped in the problem. (1 Thessalonians 5:17-18).
3. We cannot quench the Spirit. The secret to being filled with the Spirit is to speak God’s word among ourselves, allowing it to circulate continually. Do not despise the word that God speaks through the prophets. It is what keeps us alive, gives meaning to our lives, brings direction, nourishes us, and empowers us to carry out God’s work (1 Thessalonians 5:19-20).
4. “Many times, we want to do good, but we cannot, because we try to accomplish it by natural force. The secret is to allow the old man to die and the new man to live in newness of life, in resurrection. How does this work in practice? It is living in the spirit […] The mind defines this inclination. It has decisive power. If it is placed on the spirit, we experience life and peace; if it is placed on the flesh, the result is death” (Romans 8:5-9) (Daily Food, book 7, week 3, Saturday, p. 52).
