God's work or ours?
musicman:
I personally don't know if I could overcome my sinning ways. Perhaps if I had 100% faith in God, then I could. However, I'm not exactly near 100% in believing. Therefore, I know that I can't overcome my sins at this time.
Jackie Lee:
When it is finished though it is finished. God finished the work of lust in me and it has not crept back not even once since 2003.
Now he has other projects to do in me, I am so glad he does the work we can't do it on our own.

Too many times we use our own strong wills to fix a problem and think it is God doing the work, most of the time that is not the case because if it were then we would not be in the poor shape we all seem to be in. Only when the carnal man, "beast" is defeated can God work his will in us, and that "beast" won't be defeated until God is ready to make it so.

I know this is the truth because at times i don't even want to. It's just that there's is so much going on in my life, i can't find the opportunity to do things i use to. For me I can see it is definitely going to be according to Philippians 2:13 - For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.I am anxiously looking for the day when Christ Jesus will set me free and say, go and sin no more (John 8:11).

Has Ray ever addressed where he is at in "overcoming" in an audio, article or email?
