DESCRIPTION:
THE BEST NEWS EVER! If you are born-again (filled with the Holy Spirit / a Son of God / One with God) and you have been told that you will never be able to truly live Free from Sin and will always struggle with sin and will never be able to live life without sinning - then YOU HAVE NOT HEARD THE TRUTH. Do you believe it? That you are indeed FREE and not BOUND by this body, this vessel is not your enemy - that you (your soul - the real you) lives in it to be a temple and housing for the soul to be able to live on this earth, but that God's Holy Spirit (the presence of God the Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit) dwells in you (which is the fullness of the Godhead bodily [Colossians 2:9]. And that His plan and purpose for living in this body is to show himself to others. The devil's plan is to steel, kill and destroy and for us to not know / and not accept and for us to deny God from having his way in us and through us - and truly be "very Christ".

Well, the truth is in God's word - the Holy Bible. Yes, the bible says for us to live holy for he is holy and to not return to those things that he has freed us from. To give ourselves over to righteousness (which is living holy and living "God's right way").

WHAT IS HOLINESS? It is living a life that pleases God. Whose life do we know "pleased" God? - it is the Life of Jesus Christ. He lived a life without sin. Though he was tempted, he did not sin. And God did not intend for Jesus to be the only one to live that way. God wanted Jesus to be the firstborn of MANY brethren. The Bible says that we "Are more than Conquerors through Christ" and that we "Can do ALL things Through Christ that strengthens us" and that"Greater is He that is IN US than He that is in the world" --- And if Christ be in you, then you are a new creature - You have been made new and are like nothing else in this world...You are IN THIS WORLD - but YOU ARE NOT OF IT. Let us not deny him what he came to do, and that is MANIFEST HIMSELF through us - as vessels.

2 Corinthians 4:7
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

ROMANS CHAPTER 6

12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. 23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

AT THE END OF THE DAY - that's all that matters. That we can look back and be able to say Heavenly Father, it feels so good to know that I lived in the purpose that you created me for. I let YOU have your way in me. Your way is life and your way is truth. You showed your love through me. You showed your forgiveness through me. You showed your patience, your long suffering, your strength, your faith, your kindness, your temperance. There is so much that you want to do and I don't want to stop you or be a hindrance to someone else in my life - I don't want to be the reason for someone not seeing YOU through this vessel.

If that is not something that can be said, then lets repent - move forward knowing that God himself did not leave us powerless. That He has given us everything we need to live pleasing to Him and that His Spirit is sufficient!
