Sin’s reign is over in us. We must accept this Truth in our mind-set when we are confronted with the opportunity to sin… and it can be subtle at times.
Paul wrote by the Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 6:
12 Sin is a dethroned monarch; so you must no longer give it an opportunity to rule over your life, controlling how you live and compelling you to obey its desires and cravings.
13 So then, refuse to answer its call to surrender your body as a tool for wickedness. Instead, passionately answer God’s call to keep yielding your body to Him as one who has now experienced resurrection life! You live now for His pleasure, ready to be used for His Noble Purpose.
14 Remember this: sin will not conquer you, for God already has! You are not governed by law but governed by the reign of the grace of God.
Sin no longer rules in our life therefore refuse to answer its call. You have the right to reject any opportunity to sin. Don’t embrace sin any longer! Sin can no longer conquer us and we are no longer governed by sin. You and I make a decision to yield ourselves to either GOD or our bodies’ craving. It is time to take full control of our bodies and walk according to The Holy Spirit.
Our nature was changed when we were born again. Jesus expressed this Truth when he spoke in John chapter 3:
3 Jesus answered, “Nicodemus, listen to this Eternal Truth: Before a person can perceive God’s Kingdom realm, they must first experience a rebirth.”
Just as FATHER framed the worlds with HIS Faith-filled Words, we are born again by our faith-filled words. Paul expressed this simple Truth when he wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 10:
9 And what is God’s “living message”? It is the revelation of faith for salvation, which is the message that we preach. For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will experience salvation.
10 The heart that believes in him receives the gift of the righteousness of God—and then the mouth gives thanks to salvation.
This Truth was the basis of my salvation and I am a testimony of this Truth, so are you. I spoke those Words at the age of twelve yet I still deal with my soul and body cravings. When I was baptized in The Holy Spirit at the age of twenty, I experienced a major change in my soul. My priorities immediately changed but I still needed further maturity which required immersing myself in The Word.
11 For the Scriptures encourage us with these Words: “Everyone who believes in Him will never be disappointed.”
Remember this: sin will not conquer you, for God already has! You are not governed by law but governed by the reign of the grace of God.
Your performance does not make you more accepted by FATHER or less accepted by HIM. HE Loves us no matter what our condition is in.
Back in Romans chapter 6:
15 What are we to do, then? Should we sin to our hearts’ content since there’s no law to condemn us anymore? What a terrible thought!
16 Don’t you realize that grace frees you to choose your own master? But choose carefully, for you surrender yourself to become a servant—bound to the one you choose to obey. If you choose to love sin, it will become your master, and it will own you and reward you with death. But if you choose to Love and obey God, HE will lead you into perfect righteousness.
17 And God is pleased with you, for in the past you were servants of sin, but now your obedience is heart deep, and your life is being molded by Truth through the teaching you are devoted to.
18 And now you celebrate your freedom from your former master—sin. You’ve left its bondage, and now God’s perfect righteousness holds power over you as His Loving servants.
Since your nature has changed, choose Life and change your mind-set to fully embrace Life!
