My favorite sin.

<< < (3/3)

My favorite sin that I love to hate....

The lust of the flesh. Sigh.

What gets me the most is when Jesus says;

"Why do you call me Lord and do not the things which I say?"

How painful is that to hear? Right..
We have to really trust Him on this and pray without ceasing. Jesus said the spirit is willing (We've all felt this willingness, we want to follow Him so badly!) but the flesh is weak (We've all felt that weakness, our flesh indulges and loves these sinful things.) It's exactly as Paul said it;

Romans 7:23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members

So....

I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

Knowing that He who has began the good work in our will finish it! For we are His workmanship!

In Christ,
Alex

P.S. The flesh sucks! :P

Hello lilitalienboi16.

Thank you for response as I am forever learning the deeper meaning of the things of God, first through Rays teachings but also I believe Jesus talks to each one of us through each other.

Your P.S said so much to me in that it came through that because of my flesh the carnal mind part of me is indeed my relationship with our Lord ( the flesh sucks ) think about it, because of my flesh/carnal mind I need to go to Christ constantly praying to divide the word of God rightly, asking for forgiveness and every other aspect of my life and its all because of the flesh/carnal mind thing which God planed it out that way. Pretty cool I think.

Yes the flesh is to us a burdensome thing but because of it we really need to run to Jesus the whole day through. Its a part of Gods master plan for us.

Peace and love to all my brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus.

I look back over my years as a Christian. I had wonderful teachers. I was never taught rapture and nonsense like that. I was taught that the flesh needed to die, but no-one could ever show me how, probably because they didn't know either. I think very few people actually do. I would beg God, plead, try to bargain, Read my word, chant scriptures trying to convince myself I was more able than I really was. Cloak myself with condemnation. I thought the hard times were a reflection of my own unworthiness and a punishment for fleshly thought and actions. I never knew that the very trials I was lamenting were in fact my answers to prayer that I was seeking. The trials were about me learning to overcome and my lack of understanding and carnal mind never understood. That only comes with a 'rhema' moment when God reveals. Since my moment, I have learnt to come into agreement with these trials and receive them with gladness as well as I can and I have changed more in the last 4 years than my entire previous 35 year walk.
I have repented of judging myself unrighteously and condemning myself. No longer given to self-pity, which isn't really one of the fruits of the spirit. I now know that his word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path....not a hundred steps down the path, but right where my feet are. For my next step. We need to pay more attention to the moment we are in so that we can benefit from it and not be constantly looking ahead so that we don't trip needlessly. If we don't learn the lesson now for today, we will have to go through it again and that's a wasted opportunity. It isn't my choice or your choice what God chooses to deal with each day. You just can't decide how you are going to change. That's not your right. We are just the clay. The purpose comes from the potter. You will sin in other areas, but concentrate on what God is dealing with. he will get to those other areas in his own time. If he's not bent out of shape then you shouldn't be either. Don't intentionally hurt others if you have it in your power not to. There is no excuse for behaving badly, but neither is there any condemnation either.
I hope this helps you all have your 'rhema' moment. be encouraged

God Bless  8)
