I wrote my last post last Saturday afternoon. I was really down, and I needed God to see me through my sin; see me out of my sin. But I couldn’t post it. The internet was messy.
But just that night, I walked up to a couple of friends who pointed out to me that I had read too little. Romans 7: 25 was not where Paul stopped in his aid for my paul Situation. Romans 8 was the solution! Paul kept saying, that if you live according to the flesh, that’s what will happen, sin will not leave your life. But we gotta kill the flesh!
The flesh is bound to sin. It’s doomed to fall in temptation, but through Christ, we have th power to live apart from the flesh; we have the Power to live by the Spirit; by HIS SPIRIT!! It’s pretty cool that we have this spirit.
And during this wonderful talk with friends, another thing that I picked up was the fact that the only way to kill the flesh is by the word and by prayer. I keep saying this; I know it’s the solution to my problem. But I’m so stuffed with doing things that “no de hia” that I never get time for the word proper! I tried this week and I realize I don’t get enough word!! I need more word!! So here comes my real situation: My focus and energy is on things below that I barely have time for things above.
So here’s something that I thought of just now. If I give myself, and all you other folks out there who find Romans 7: 21 at work in your lives, some homework on the word, and promise to do it, it’ll get us one step closer to plunging the sword of the Lord through the flesh and making our lives one that is fully Spirit filled!
So here’s a promise, I’ll keep it by the strength that God gives, I’ll read the whole of Romans and see all the other interesting stuff about life in the spirit and tell you all about it next week! I promise by the strength I pray God gives me.
So until next time, I leave US grace to walk… in Royal stepz…
