I have this problem, I overcame sin but after a long while i grow weary and i start to sin again.

How is it possible to block this sin in my mind from manifesting.

I almost went crazy fighting it, it's like constantly bugging me in my head

Just meditate on this:

Jesus loves you no matter how bad you've fallen from grace.





You can come back to him and live in the Light

Because your current and future sin have already been paid in his death and resurrection.

Being Born again is a journey of transformation by the renewing of your mind.

Just keep on going believing that you are forgiven each time you fall.

Believe that it is the goodness of God that will empower you to repentance.

Stop trying to fight it. You have to see from the Word and be free in the Lord.

In Romans 7:7-25 we see three laws. The first law is the law of God, which refers to the written law of God, the Ten Commandments (v. 22). The second law is the law of good in the believer’s mind, that is, in his soul, which derives from the natural human life, that is, from man himself (v. 23). The law of good is in our good human nature created by God; it always desires to do good according to our conscience, which corresponds with the God-created human nature, enabling us to know what God justifies and what He condemns (2:14-15). The third law is the law of sin in the believer’s members (7:23), that is, in his body, which derives from Satan, who as sin dwells in the believer’s flesh. This law is actually sin as a natural principle.

Here the law of sin refers to the power to commit sin that arises spontaneously in man, causing man to become a slave of sin (John 8:34). Thus, man has become helpless and is controlled and manipulated by sin, doing many things against his own will. Romans 7:23 shows the warfare that occurs between the law of sin in the members of our body and the law of good in the mind of our soul. The warfare is absolutely a matter of sin in our flesh fighting against the good in our natural being; it is not at all related to our spirit or the Spirit of God.

Moreover, the law of sin, which is in the members of man’s fallen body, the flesh, constantly wars against and defeats the law of good in man’s soul, thereby making man a captive. The law of God always demands that we do good. Whenever the law of God demands us to do good, the law of good in our soul responds, trying to comply with the law of God. Whenever the law of good responds to the law of God and attempts to fulfill the requirements of the law of God, the law of sin in our flesh is aroused. When the law of sin learns that the law of good is responding to the law of God, the law of sin immediately rises up to war against and defeat the law of good and invariably captures us. Thus, we become a captive to the law of sin which is in our members. This is not a doctrine; this is our life-history.

How to be free? The answer is in Romans 8.

Romans 8:2 tells us that the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has freed us from the law of sin and of death. The Spirit and life are mentioned in this verse but only in connection with the working of this law. Life is the content and issue of the Spirit, and the Spirit is the ultimate and consummate manifestation of the Triune God after His being processed through incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection and becoming the indwelling, life-giving Spirit, who is life to all the believers in Christ. The law that has freed us from the law of sin, which is of Satan, who dwells in the members of our fallen body (7:23, 17), is of this Spirit of life. It is this law, not God or the Spirit, that works in us to deliver us from the working of the law of sin in our flesh and to enable us to know God and gain God and thereby live Him out. This law of the Spirit of life is the spontaneous power of the Spirit of life. Such a spontaneous law works automatically under the condition that fulfills its requirements.

In Christ there is the law of the Spirit of life, which has the capacity to operate in us daily in order to revive us and to allow us to overcome the law of sin and of death. We do not need to struggle or to strive. All we need to do is to present ourselves to the Lord and cooperate with Him, allowing the law of the Spirit of life to have an opportunity to operate within us (6:13). The way to overcome the law of sin and of death is not to make resolutions or to struggle but to call on the Lord continually and to tell Him every day, “Lord, I love You. I want to present myself to You.” We only need to remain in Christ, to present ourselves to Him, to give Him the freedom, and to enjoy Him. In this way, He will gain our cooperation and will operate in us spontaneously and gently as the law of the Spirit of life so that we will have peace, joy, and victory.

God spoke to me this morning.

God’s Wrath Against Sinful Humanity

Romans 1:
18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

Nolar .... it's really nothing. Nothing superstitious as this. It's more a spiritual typology and significance in the Bible that is more crucial in knowing Satan.

Sin? Muhahaha ... We are constituted sinner having the Satanic nature. Enough said tongue.gif

Hi WintersuN

I hope this speaks to you

Romans 4:4-5

Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. And to the one who does not work but believes in him who (God) justifies the ungodly, his (wintersuN) faith is counted as righteousness.


Your Faith in God will enable you to come to Him.

God Bless.

The Old Testament is the foreshadow of the New Testament.


The Old Testament has always been the history and preparation of events which signature the things of New Testament. That is why we believe the OT complements the NT and is in synergy.

Ever Since Adam Sinned, God immediately prepare a Plan for a solution which is the coming of our Lord Jesus to become our savior. He has always give hints and things to do to the people back then, that gives clue to the coming of Jesus.
QUOTE
Genesis 3:15
And I will put enmity between you (Satan) and the woman, and between your offspring (The Forces of Darkness) and hers; he (Jesus) will crush your head, and you will strike his heel."


That is why the people back then always longed for coming of the Messiah.

Here is one of the many instances.


Abraham Sacrifice Isaac.


QUOTE
Genesis 22:2 (NIV)

Then God said, "Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about."


Notice the word, your only son. Do you know that Isaac is not the only son Abraham has? He has another son Ishmael.

Why did God use the word "your only son"?

It's because God is giving hints to us readers that the word your only son is actually referring Jesus. Jesus is God's only begotten divine Son. Isaac is a type of foreshadow, a copy of Jesus coming.

Notice also that this offering that Abraham is commanded to do involves blood? That is speaking about the coming of Jesus Blood for our Sin.

Many a times, the old Testament offering and covering of Sin are done through the sacrifice of Animal's blood and is done every Year by High Priests of God.

But why is it that it needs to be done every year? This is because OT sacrifice is not perfect. It does not completely fulfill God's holy requirement.

Our God is a God of Justice. Where there is a Sin, there must be justice for punishment.

Praise be to God that Jesus Blood is qualified and acceptable to God as sacrifice once and for ALL, never to be repeated again.

Through him, we do not need to offer our own sacrifice to atone for our sins every year.
QUOTE
Hebrews 10:1-10

The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship. If it could, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins. But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins, because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said:

“Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,

but a body you prepared for me;

with burnt offerings and sin offerings

you were not pleased.

Then I said, ‘Here I am—it is written about me in the scroll—

I have come to do your will, O God.’”

First he said, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them” (although the law required them to be made). Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will.” He sets aside the first to establish the second. 1And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
