LIVING WITH A STRANGER

Romans 7:17
Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

What is present is not what describes the atmosphere, but what is active. Selah

If I decide to live in the conscious of the negative, I fail, I remain unfulfilled, get stagnated and eventually fail.

Does it mean those negatives do not exist, No. However I don't operate in its realm. I operate in the realm of the positive.

Genesis 1:31
And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, [it was] very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

That was what God made, however the enemy decided to point the woman to that which was present, but was commanded not to touch.

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 what do we do to this kind of stranger. Existing in our world, but must not have a part in us.

2 Corinthians 10:5
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Romans 8:1, 5&9
 [There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

Do we fight with our strength, NO.

Romans 8:11&13
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

Do we consciously decide to stay free from these stranger(s). Yes

Colossians 3:5
 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

Luke 4:8
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

Mark 8:33
But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.

Who or What wants to take the love of God from you. Sin has been defeated.

Romans 6:14
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

Glory to God! There is no room for the stranger. Christ has taken full place.

Glory to God.

We are blessed.

Love
