BATTLES AND WARS

Sooo.....I had a great time reading the word this morning. The Lord of course encouraged me, as he does every time I study! I know now that this Christian life is war, and we fight on the battlegrounds every day! We fight against addiction, fear, insecurities, anxieties, or whatever else your fighting with on a day to day basis! The word I got from the Lord was DECLARE WAR! The war we fight every day is the battle to live in the spirit and not give into the desires of the flesh! We want to do good, and we have every intentions on doing it, but if we aren't living a God ordained life, if we don't have our eyes fixed on God, than we will SURELY give in to the flesh. We can only love one thing and not the other, we cannot live a life of doing some good and some bad! That is a harsh reality that I had to face a little over a week ago now! I was a double minded person, thinking I could wake up, thank God for the day, acknowledge him, and still drink and cuss, and get high! As you can see from my first post that only lead to TOTAL AND COMPLETE DESTRUCTION! I tried to have one foot in and one foot out! Not realizing that I had given myself over TOTALLY to sin! We are sinners by nature, but it takes a consistent prayer and study life to win the battle over the flesh EVERYDAY! We can not do it on our own! We have to make a choice, to either walk with God, or to live in sin! We can not do both, because where there is one, the other cannot exist! So if we follow God and lead a life lead by Him, sin cannot and will not exist! If we lead a life of sin and give in to the desires of the flesh, the spirit of God cannot exist! It is a fools journey to try and make the two coincide! BELIEVE ME! I was that fool! We already have the victory we just have to jump in the battle, and stay the course! Keep fighting for your life everyday! God makes it easier the longer your in the battle, as long as we keep pushing, keep fighting! We already know we will have the victory, that Gods guarantee! All we have to do is keep fighting by faith, and we will win the battle, and flesh and sin will no longer have dominion over our hearts and minds! God has brought me to this point, and I am on fire! I declare war on my addictions to porn, cocaine, alcohol, and weed! I declare war on rebellion, and cursing, and lying, and stealing! I declare war or vengeful and mean spirits! I declare war on all of my weakness and I guard all of my strengths with the word of God! Declare war over the things that befall you in your life! Declare war on all of your vices, no matter what they are! There is nothing too hard for God to fix, handle, and turn around for you! Just give it to him, and jump in the fight!! As always, I love you!......but GOD LOVES YOU MORE, MORE THAN YOU CAN EVER KNOW!!

For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but cannot carry it out. For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do-this I keep doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do , it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it!
Romans 7:18-20

Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace! Romans 6:12-14
