ENOUGH OF MY FAILING SELF

Galatians 2:20
 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

For everyone who has not believed or known salvation in the only way the Father, God the Almighty has set for all men. There is grace to be saved today, all they need to do is call on Him today through His Son Jesus the Christ then they receive salvation. ("As a believer have you been telling the unsaved this?")

Romans 10:13
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

That said, does a believer then need salvation again. No, however a believer can lose the way, allowing flesh to reign.

Romans 7:25
 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.

Any believer who lives after the flesh would fall back into the bondage of sin "I am an example, anyone can slip". Once you allow the flesh to reign, sin is not far from you, please don't stay there, wake up and run back to life, to live in the spirit:

Romans 8:7
Because the carnal mind [is] enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

So what are we, who have believed?  We are sons of God and sons of God can never be flesh, they are spirit!

John 3:6
"That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

John 1:12
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:

, , , what is the characteristics of God's sons:

Romans 8:14
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

This is no superfluousness, it is truth. The flesh worketh lustful things but the spirit bringeth life. THE BODY THEN MUST BE SUBJECT TO THE SPIRIT, THE SPIRIT MUST HAVE DOMINION!

Galatians 5:16
 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

Thus problems arises for the believer when the spirit does not reign and then the flesh has its way. We must be careful, the flesh is defensive and could even explain away or defend its action. This would lead to "reprobate"!

Titus 1:16
They profess that they know God; but in works they deny [him], being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

I see the Lord working His mercy on us like new wine entering our vessel, old wine is poured away and we are totally renewed.

The enemy will not win over us, he has no part in us, instead God is honoured in our Body, Spirit and Soul. Halleluyah.

You are blessed.

Love

MAINTAIN A GODLY MARRIAGE

-
Judges 13:2-3,6,10 In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had no children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” We live in times when the institution of marriage is being destroyed from in and out of the church. Divorce rate is high and many are in a marriage but are not happy therein. What is the problem? God has been taken out of the equation. How? Jesus said: Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had origina

Remember: God is in control.

As we go through the 11th month of this year of accomplishment, let us be reminded. When it seems to hurt so much, or it all looks quiet and alone, when it appears not to work out. Please don't give up, God is still in control Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. My dear it is not about how you feel, and not about what it seems, it is about what He Has promised and He who promised is sure to keep His Word. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:12 " Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." God is in control and His plans for you are good. He has already done it. Romans 4:21 " and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." Have a

NEEDLESS BATTLES

-
Judges 12:1-4 Then the people of Ephraim mobilized an army and crossed over the Jordan River to Zaphon. They sent this message to Jephthah: “Why didn’t you call for us to help you fight against the Ammonites? We are going to burn down your house with you in it!” Jephthah replied, “I summoned you at the beginning of the dispute, but you refused to come! You failed to help us in our struggle against Ammon. So when I realized you weren’t coming, I risked my life and went to battle without you, and the Lord gave me victory over the Ammonites. So why have you now come to fight me?” The people of Ephraim responded, “You men of Gilead are nothing more than fugitives from Ephraim and Manasseh.” So Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and attacked the men of Ephraim and defeated them. When the Lord does not lead you, you become prone to minding and walking with unnecessary things, like fighting unnecessary battles and stirring evil sentiments. I have always said that devices like racism, tri
