Resisting Sin

  Resisting Sin     Romans 7:17 “ So I am not the one doing wrong it is sin living in me that does it”     For my brothers and sisters in Christ we often find ourselves faced with different sin that we are having trouble staying away from. This can come in many different fashions. For some it may be Pornography or lust, for others it may be greed or gluttony and for even others it may be sloth-fullness. The issue is not that your mind desires the sin but that the sin nature within you desires that sin and if not properly built up to withstand you will always be overcome by the power of sin which is death.    The beauty of Christ is that He over came death, the power of sin, in His resurrection.

What’s up guys! Having trouble seeing a breakthrough in your life? Running up against walls of adversity and don't know how to get around them? Do not be ashamed, all of us are facing this in some area of our life. In fact, since you are, you are in prime position to see a major shift in who you are because of this. A BREAK-Through can mean many different things depending on who you are talking to. The main thing to remember though is that it involves a break. Not a break from work or effort. Instead, this is a breaking of the opposition. Well, what do you mean? I’m glad you asked.

So this means you have to gather enough momentum in your assault of what’s holding you back in order to break the limits it has placed on you. Need examples? Well, here you go. When lifting weights you will eventually get to a weight that becomes too heavy for you to lift in this cas...
