Power Living!!!

Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

– Romans 6:4

POWER UP!!! As a Christian, did you know that you have the same new life God gave Jesus when He raised Him from the dead... LIVING IN YOU? That old man/sinner, you once were has died. Once you received Jesus that you become a new creation on the inside.

You are full of the resurrection life of God!! Super HumongosaurousChristian!!!

Hey, check this out, that sin, disobedience and living a selfish, carnal life will constantly keep that resurrection life from flowing out of you. Sin will separate you from the power of God, even though you're born again. That doesn't mean you're goin' to Hell... it means that Resurrection Life will lay dormant in you... as long as you walk in sin.

You can't overcome sin by trying to stop sinning, it's impossible.... You overcome it, by walking after the new life God has put within you; by spending time in the Word and in prayer, and with God Himself. As you continue to do that, the Spirit of God will strengthen you and enable you to put that sin nature under your feet.

This isn't a Magic Pill.... the Holy Spirit will not subdue those old fleshly habits of yours on His own... and just magically one day disappear.. haha (WOULDN"T THAT BE NICE..) He'll wait on you to take the initiative. Then He will strengthen you to follow through with your decision(s). He will teach you how to walk in the new life that is in you.

Take the first step today by asking for His help. you can say, "Lord, I desire more than anything to experience the power to live by this new life every day. I have made a decision in my heart, I put down the sin that so easily ensnares me. I declare myself dead to sin. In Jesus' Name, I will spend time in prayer and in the Word daily. As I do, I'm expecting to receive a Holy Ghost refreshing in my life. I believe I can begin to live out the resurrection power that You've placed in me!" Amen!

Until next time. Have a Blessed Week!!!
