Paul articulated well the struggle between flesh & spirit that we all battle. I look, I see, I feel that horrible man of flesh rise up in me from time to time. I hate it. I don't like to be like that, but the fact remains that until the day we see Jesus face to face, we'll constantly be at war within ourselves.
Oh how I love the Lord! Oh how I love to be in His presence, alone & then with His people-my family. Yet this wicked man tries to stand up to reclaim his once important place, only to find, hallelulia, that the Spirit of the Living God wars for me.
As Paul stated, so do I: "Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!" (Romans 7:24, 25). Because of HIS power, I can also say with Paul: "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death." (Romans 8:1,2)
GREAT NEWS!! Praise the Lord!!!!!
Amen, for the goodness and kindness of our Lord!
