You Can Overcome

Romans 7: 18-19 I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do--this I keep on doing.

Many Christians struggle with sin. And do not know how to overcome them. Deep within their heart is the desire to live the life that is pleasing to God; a holy life. Yet at the same time they could not say NO to the desire of their flesh. They know exactly what to do, they know what the Word of God says, they know the life they live is wrong. However they just can not overcome it. This make their Christian’s life become like a yoyo, up and down.

The Bible says in Hebrews 12:4 “In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.”

The good news is, in Christ Jesus you have a victory! There is no sin that is too great that ties you down that God can not set you free. The resurrection of Jesus Christ from death, is the prove that not even death has the power over Him. He has paid the price in full on the cross for our transgression and iniquities. If you allow Him to help you, He is ever willing to say YES to you. In fact the Bible says in 1 Cor 10:13 “No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.”

How to be set free? These are the seven steps to your freedom.

Step 1 Confess and acknowledge your sin before God.
Step 2 Replace all the lies you have belief in by the TRUTH.
Step 3 Saturate your mind with the Word of God. – Read 10 chapters a day.
Step 4 Avoid situation that could cause you to fall again.
Step 5 Have fellowship with other believers.

If you still fail, try Step 6 and Step 7.

Step 6 Allow someone to watch over (literally watch over) you.
Step 7 Get someone or a group of believers to intercede for you continuously.

Never say you can’t, never say it is impossible, with God all things are possible.

Amen!
