Whose Slave Are You?

A & P - I thought that you may enjoy keeping up with our sermons from church through my blog. Any interest?

John 8:31-32
Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in my word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

We are held captive by more than we realize and need to be set free from many issues in our lives.

This is Jesus' call to us to daily conquer sin in our lives. As believers, we have been chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world, predestined to be His sons, forgiven of all our sins, we have received every spiritual blessing, and have been sealed by the H.S. (Eph. 1) So why would we live like an unbeliever?

When it comes to sanctification and personal holiness, we need to know what to say 'yes' to and what to say 'no' to. Controlling my flesh involves being able to say 'no' to sin and walk away from it. Starve the beast and stop feeding the animal and sin will not have it's reign over you.

We can either pursue godliness on a daily basis or we WILL become like the world. How do I overcome sin? Wake up each day and PRAY. Commit the day, my mouth, my actions, my eyes, to the Lord. Surrender to Him verbally and He promises to help us. Read His word each day (heh- you can read a lot of verses and pray quite a few sentences in 5 minutes).

"Sin is an adulteress who is going to constantly call me away from my devotion to Christ."
