ROMANS 7 : Someone needs to hear this.

[@278pikelk]

25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

And He is clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and His name is called The Word of God... At the shop while ago when I came out, there came two guys at the same time and the other one said that "Hei Antti" and the other one said "Oh Lauri" and I just stopped to smile and said that "Oh, By the way, My name is Antti Laurinen" =))) My name is ALL about LOVE...!

Hello Barb & Thankyou❤ Glory to our Lord and Saviour and may our Father in Heaven be glorified through him❤

There would be no confusion if people would read the Word, the Holy Spirit would show them the truth. Some don't have time, others have a lot on their minds, and so on..., and they listen because it's easier for them, and this is where those who learn and don't have the Spirit come in and are used, perhaps unknowingly, by Satan to teach wrongly. That's why we, like them, must tell the Truth so that people can hear the other version (the good seed and the tares). 🙏🏻💖🙏🏻

The “interior life” with Jesus as described by Jeanne Guyon’s book..is definitely worth a read…the short book “Christian Worldview” leads the reader to the very point Jesus is making…an interior life (with Jesus) vs an exterior life of the flesh… Thought I’d share…

Bless you Barb for sharing. It's good to hear from you. ✝️ Julie

[@Romans1.24-27]

Exactly.. thank you

[@maggiezemanek9656]

I still don't understand. All I hear is don't do this, don't do that, be holy, basically how you live means everything. ( and I don't mean being bad or constantly sinning, but I don't know how to live from the moment I wake up to bedtime. ) can anyone explain this. What am I allowed to do while I'm still breathing? Because I don't want to wake up anymore.

[@278pikelk]

When you focus on yourself- this is how you feel. 😢 Focus on JESUS. Ask HIM to fill you with HIS HOLY SPIRIT. Allow yourself to be lead by the HOLY SPIRIT daily. We will never be perfect but the HOLY SPIRIT changes us. HE changes our hearts. HE quells what our flesh wants to do and places GOD's desires within us. We become a new creation in CHRIST once we believe but to walk it out we need the HOLY SPIRIT - constantly. There is nothing too small to pray and ask JESUS about. For me I try to include HIM in every decision I make. I trust that HE is with me and helping me constantly. I know HE is! 🥰🙏✝️

Oh Jesus you makes me laugh! I’m so glad I can’t do anything! I need all your help!!!!!!

[@laurafoote214]

thank you...

[@michaelelder9821]

thank you for this. i wonder how repentance (ongoing) fits into this? he said let Holy Spirit work in and thru you, so i guess He will prompt you to repent if you 'deviate'?

[@278pikelk]

Hi Michael! So it took me a long time to figure it out but the HOLY SPIRIT helped me. I used to lay down at night and try to think of all my sins I committed through out the day...and I list them out to GOD worrying that if I missed any I wasn't truly repenting. What GOD showed me is that this is actually a work. Repentance means to turn away- and turn towards JESUS. It does not mean recounting every sin. Sure - if we do something ie. cuss or shout at our spouse we are immediately convicted by the HOLY SPIRIT and we can turn to JESUS and confess our sin, but this is not the same as repentance unto salvation. Repentance unto salvation is going from living for ourselves (unbelief) to BELIEF in JESUS. That's a MOMENT in time when you admit that you are a sinner, believe in JESUS and you are SAVED. Sure we will continue to stumble and sin because we live in flesh bodies, and continuing in sin can be very detrimental to us - even unto early death. But- a saved believer is saved. No amount of confession of sin day to day or omission of confession is going to change this. If you look up the difference between Salvation & Sanctification you'll see - Salvation happens in an instant while Sanctification takes a life time. I learned that I'm walking in a forgiven state. It's already done. My focus stays on JESUS... not my mess ups and in turn sin flees from me. None of us are perfect but the more we walk filled with the HOLY SPIRIT the less we are lead into situations where we mess up. HE strips us of our fleshy desires and builds us up in JESUS. It's being JESUS conscious- not sin conscious.
