Oswald says on April 12
If it is difficult to get right with God, it is because we will not decide definitely about sin. Immediately we do decide, the full life of God comes in. When I read this devo this morning it was not really speaking to me until I got to this phrase... I guess I was ready to receive it this morning. So if you have that struggle … overeating, lying, lazy, sexual sin, finances, you depravity …. Whatever that may be. You have to make a decision if you are going to continue down that road. Which dog you going to feed? Which road you going to take? Here is what scripture says. Romans 6:9-11 because we know that Christ (the Anointed One), being once raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has power over Him. For by the death He died, He died to sin [ending His relation to it] once for all; and the life that He lives, He is living to God [in unbroken fellowship with Him]. Even so consider yourselves also dead to sin and your relation to it broken, but alive to God [living in unbroken fellowship with Him] in Christ Jesus. AMP so after readying the quote and the above passage it is plain to see. Freedom is a choice. You can continue to believe what Holy Spirit says in Roman's or believe that it does not apply to you. Then you believe the lies of the enemy. You don't have to be the sharpest spoon in the drawer to figure this out. You just have to believe and have faith
FAITH = Fear is Annihilated as Incarnate Truth is Heard
Sharpest "spoon" in the drawer?? Isn't that like "rocket surgery"? :)
ReplyDeleteSeriously, the "choosing" of overeating and laziness really hit home. It is so easy to keep saying I have to do something about it when really what I have to do is choose to consider it a sin and stop doing it.
It was good seeing you Saturday and I really appreciate your blog. Have a blessed day.
