Hello, people!
(calling: John, frienduff, Cletus, solid, oc, ohhello, watchful, Giller, @walker, Les, 4hizglory37, Tabitha3319, and all others)
In this topic we are going to share what the Lord Jesus did (and is doing) in our lives.
In this “There is Power in The Blood” topic we are going to share what sins we once were a slave to and now we are free indeed, as Jesus said:
“...Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.
And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever.
Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.” - John 8:34-36
Please, feel free to share!

I will start by sharing the sins I used to practice and fall from time to time:
Adult movies (you know what I mean).
I was addicted to adult movies, and also used to fall from time to time. But now I am free, indeed.
I can easily pass days, months, years, the rest of life without watching adult movies.
Sexual immorality:
This was a big hurdle in my life, if not the biggest.
But I insisted and believed the Lord could make me free and now I am free indeed.
I can easily pass days, months, years, the rest of life without sexual immorality (or even sex).
Anger:
I used to listen to myself and evil spirits and start breaking everything out of nowhere.
Thank you, Lord Jesus! You have shown me that...
“...If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.” - Mark 9:23
“...to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all
that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us...” - Ephesians 3:20

My battle with anxiety continues.
But I have JESUS CHRIST!
I know the answer to the illness that is blighting me.
The answer and cure is our KING, SAVIOUR and LORD JESUS CHRIST!
There is a reason, though I currently know not, why there hasn’t been an immediate cure of this for me.
But my answer, and my only hope and provision is OUR SAVIOUR LORD JESUS!
So, in our pain, in our joy, in our hope, OH LET US PRAISE THE LORD!

This is a fitting place for my last post. The mind cannot conceive nor words express the unfathomable mercy of the Holy One toward this wayward son who fled from His calling. Words evaporate in the winds which scourge the desolate places I've roamed, stripping these bones of every ambition and the hope of leading a life my fellows take for granted. My strength failed beneath the glare of the sun when the hour of the Lord's visitation was at hand for who can stand before the living One and live? My mind shattered and my heart melted like lead; I was undone.
I exchanged the promise of wealth so I might give my life for a friend alone in the wilderness. This was the end of a long road littered by the ruins of folly and regret. I stood in their stead embracing wrath so they might sleep in peace, laboring underneath that sun in weakness so they might rest their weary soul. I swore an oath which my Father in heaven honored as a holy thing in His sight. It was the end of me.
Who speaks for me now that my voice has fled?
"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13)

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13) He is able to save to the uttermost...glory to His name. I think what goes along with this thread is that long after binding the strongman....there is still the matter of plundering his house, because sin/iniquity is not just something that we might "do", it's what we "are", ie, our old man. |

You had that right . but sin and inquity is STILL present with us . its not WHO we are . we ARE NEW CREATURES IN CHRIST . i WOULD have worded it , that sin and inquity IS STILL present WITHIN our flesh , and we must not act it out . SIN is in our flesh . and by lusts of the flesh its born . WE must not heed the flesh when its thoughts arise in our minds . That is the sin that is present in the flesh . WE by the SPIRIT , by its warnings against when those thoughts pop up in our minds , must CRUCIFY the thought , not entertain that thought . I hope that helped clear it up sister . The SPIRIT indwells the lambs . And its our helper and our guide . And beleive me , when a lustful thought pops in our minds , THE SPIRIT IS RIGHT THERE TO COMBAT IT . WE must simply HEED the SPIRIT . And not continue to entertain the thought that popped in our mind . I do hope that helps or was clear enough to understand . |

It's who our old man is.....but since coming to faith in Jesus we are imputed to be new creatures in Christ now, amen. Well I will just leave it to you to consider prayerfully what Jesus was talking about with regard to the strongman. |

I had a dream once . it was shortly after may of twenty eleven . I had joined this site for the first time . i never had a computer before . Any way . i had a dream . And here it is . In the dream there was a man going on the rampage . People were running all over a mall . I seen one dark headed lady get killed by this man . I and a few others were hidden in a small hallway . But i seen the man coming and i had no fear of it . I ran right at it like a bull . And i was wrestling with it . It was incredibly strong . It could not overpower me , but i could not overpower it . As we wrestled i began to feel tired and i knew inside this thing was going to overpower me . I knew it . And then all of a sudden this voice came to me and it said , IT IS NOT BY MIGHT , Nor by STRENGTH but by ME . AND I HAD POWER SISTER . i threw that thing round about like a rag doll . I then woke up . |
