The carnal nature you have can do no righteousness. It can be openly evil or it can be self-righteous, but it can’t please God. The Spirit of Christ lives in you. He has become part of you. He can do no sin. He only does what’s right and good.

Your carnal nature isn’t sort of bad. It’s evil. It’s wicked. The carnal nature you have can do no righteousness. It can be openly evil or it can be self-righteous, but it can’t please God.

The Spirit of Christ lives in you. He has become part of you. He can do no sin. He only does what’s right and good.

The Spirit gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life. ~ John 6:63

You can’t reform your carnal nature. Your carnal nature must die. It must fade away.

The Christ in you can do no sin. Christ, Who is born within you, can’t sin. You must identify with Christ and not with your fallen fleshly nature.

Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh; but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. The mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace, ~ Romans 8:5-6

All things work together to perform God’s good purpose, which is to conform us Into the image of the Lord.

All things work together to perform God’s good purpose, which is to conform us Into the image of the Lord.

All things work together to perform God’s good purpose, which is to conform us Into the image of the Lord.

ROMANS 8

For those who love and seek the Lord,
All things work together to perform
God’s good purpose, which is to conform us
Into the image of the Lord.
For those who love and seek the Lord,
All things work together to perform
God’s good purpose, which is to conform us
Into the image of the Lord.

If the pain and weight of life is coming
on so very strong,
That it’s taken away your song;
When your days are filled with irritation;
Things keep going wrong,
And you cry out, “O Lord, how long?”
Just remember God’s good purpose,
And what He intends to do;
He intends to make all old things new.
He will have us shine as lights,
And He will see it through,
So let patience work a perfect work in you.
For those who love and seek the Lord,
All things work together to perform
God’s good purpose, which is to conform us
Into the image of the Lord.

But alive unto God through Christ the Gift of Love.
Let not sin therefore reign in the body you are in
That You should obey it in the lust thereof.

Neither yield ye your members as instruments
Of unrighteousness unto sin,
But yield yourselves unto God,
As those having life within.
Corruptible must put on incorruption, don’t you see.
Mortality must put on immortality.

Satan is a liar. He speaks through those who follow him. Whoever doesn’t follow Christ is following Satan either knowingly or unknowingly. Many think they are reasoning, but they have no basis for sound reasoning since they have no source of truth. Agrippa the skeptic discovered this 2,000 years ago, and godless thinkers haven’t been able to prove Agrippa wrong. Without Christ, no one can know anything. Christ is the Light who lights every person, but some people refuse to thank Him and honor Him for the amazing gift. Those who do this turn from the Light and walk into ever-increasing darkness. And yet, the door is open to them. God sent His Son, Jesus, Who was willing to die for you. He suffered more than any person has ever suffered to pay your debt. Not only did He pay so your lack of love and selfish acts could be pardoned, but He can also set you free from your bondage to the corrupted human nature that makes mistakes, thinks terrible thoughts, and does terrible things that hurt others.

In that case, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it. I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh; for I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For I do not do the good I want to do.

RELEASED FROM CAPTIVITY

RELEASED FROM CAPTIVITY

RELEASED FROM CAPTIVITY

Our God, in Christ, released us from captivity,
From slavery to sin, He sets the captive free.
The Lord sheds His own light upon all human hearts;
For those who won’t respond, God’s radiance soon departs.

So many like to claim an inner righteousness,
But God has told us all, there’s nothing good in us.
The human flesh, that strong, deceptive, wicked force,
That whitewashed human heart still charts an evil course.

The human flesh is caught in slavery to sin.
It cannot free itself, nor break the trap it’s in.
But only through the Christ, there is no other way,
So only through the Christ, our night is turned to day.

The flesh is so corrupt, it cannot be reformed,
But yielding to Christ, a miracle performs.
Yet those who will not yield, with great hypocrisy,
Not knowing that they’re lost, remain in slavery.

All those who yield their wills and listen to God’s voice,
Are led of God in love in ever deepening choice.
Our God, in Christ, released us from captivity,
From slavery to sin, He sets the captive free.

And even if you slip and fall back into sin,
The Lord will lift you out and set you right again,
Providing you confess and trust Christ with your soul .
He’ll set you on the path and lead you toward the goal.

So never walk in fear and never you dismay.
The Lord is all your hope and power to obey.
There is no strength in flesh, but only He imparts,
The gift of righteousness, and changes human hearts.

The New Testament uses the metaphor of a mirror three times.

As you look into God’s spiritual mirror of hope, you see who you are in Christ and how you fit into the body of Christ. You see your brothers and sisters after the spirit and not after the flesh.

As you look into God’s spiritual mirror of hope, you see who you are in Christ and how you fit into the body of Christ. You see your brothers and sisters after the spirit and not after the flesh. You need to discern the body of Christ. You need to recognize the ministries of your brothers and sisters. You’re standing in the presence of Christ when you’re in their presence.

So from now on we regard no one according to the flesh. ~ 2 Corinthians 5:16

You HAVE a carnal nature. You ARE the ministry within, the Christ in you. That’s what Romans 7 states so clearly.

I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do, I do not do. But what I hate, I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I admit that the law is good. In that case, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it. I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh; for I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For I do not do the good I want to do. Instead, I keep on doing the evil I do not want to do. And if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it. ~ Romans 7:15-20

The flesh will get religious.

The flesh will get religious.

The flesh will get religious.

The flesh will do anything to keep us from God’s ultimate blessing. Our fleshly nature doesn’t want us standing in God’s presence listening to His voice and yielding in obedience to His Spirit so God can say His words and do His acts through us. In God’s presence, the fleshly nature gradually fades away if we yield to God’s Spirit in willing obedience.

The flesh will get religious. The fleshly reasoning will put the Bible in God’s place so we worship and revere the Bible rather than knowing Christ. It will twist Scripture that says we should listen to God’s word (meaning God speaking to us) and interpret it to say “Read your Bible and try to understand the Bible on your own without the miraculous intervention of the Holy Spirit. It will take yesterday’s partial revelation, build a wall of protection around it, and fill in the blanks with many assumptions. It will direct us into a certain formula and convince us that the formula will bring us into the Kingdom. It will direct us to avoid all sorts of specific things, some of which are good to avoid. It will show us 6, or 8, or 10 laws to follow rather than walking in the Spirit. It will take a true prophecy and turn it into a law or principle. The thing it doesn’t want is our personal, moment-by-moment relationship with Christ. It doesn’t want God leading us. It doesn’t want us following God because that is a walk from glory to glory that destroys that rebellious fleshly nature and completes the work of forming Christ in us. It knows that self-righteousness is spiritually worthless, but the Holy Spirit will lead us into true righteousness and holiness.

“For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living water, and they have dug their own cisterns—broken cisterns that cannot hold water. Jeremiah 2:13
