As christians we come from a world which has conditioned us for many years.
Conditioned us to “its” ways,therefore it is not easy to change to
the spiritual ways of God within any short duration of time.
It is not surprising that sin with all its difficulties is not easily
overcome within us.

Many a time I see so many haveing a great difficulty in removing
it from their new walk with Christ.
Faith is a medium foreign to us as we battle within ourselves to
bring victory for God and us.
It is far easier to let the flesh have its way within us,rather than
put our untried faith in action.

God asks us to begin to walk in our faith, put it into action so
that He can prove Himself to us, through our faith out of love
for Him.
He knows how difficult this is to a feeling,mostly in the flesh
creation not always walking in faith;with His Spirit.

What most new christians are not taught, to help them to be
overcomers is the fact; that they themselves cannot do this in
their own strength. It must be through, and in Jesus’s strength.
Only the Holy Spirit guides intimately within the scope of His
power,given by the Father.

Our own selfishness(flesh) we act in: is our worst enemy,and it
is here where major change must come.
This is change we can accomplish within ourselves.
What we lack mostly is how to do this,when Gods book of truth
shows and tells us the answer.
We change by exchanging identities with our Christ.

Gods word tells us that He (Jesus) is the same yesterday,
today, and forever. Whatever,and whoever we were in our past,
before we became Christians.

We must change by coming to the same cross He came to;
we do this through His blood;as we act daily as the Spirit leads.
Redemption comes through two ways, through coming to the cross,
and in the blood of Christ.

In order to obtain victory in Christ over the sin in our lives,
we must do our part.Like salvation, we also have to do our part,
by applying Gods word

to our lives in order to overcome our own fleshly desires.
Take upon ourselves Christ’s identity,He offers it to us,
so that we can become what our Heavenly Father wishes for us to be.
His Sons!In order for us to relive the life of Christ through us,
we must apply the Cross,The Blood of Christ,
and the power of the Holy Spirit,each moment of every day?
Take upon ourselves the very essence of Christ in thought,
and surrender to Christ to enable us to have victory in Jesus.

We can “choose” once again to follow after the flesh ,
or use the Cross,the Blood of Christ,
and the Power of the Holy Spirit to overcome sin within us;
this is the only way to start the victory process within us,
and to “change” who we are for God! If you are well-versed in the word,
start a study on the Cross,and the Blood of Christ;
prove your love; and put your faith in action.
Begin, the Walking in the Spirit with your God!

“I am crucified with Christ:nevertheless I live;
yet not I , but Christ liveth in me: and the life
which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith
of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself
for me.”
Galatians 2:20

“And he said to them all, If any man will
come after me, let him deny himself, and take
up his cross daily, and follow me.
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it;
but whosoever will lose his life for my sake,
the same shall save it.”

Luke 9:23,24

“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light,
we have fellowship one with another, and
the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from
all sin.
If we say that we have no sin,we deceive ourselves,and
the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just
to forgive us our sins, and to clense us from all
unrighteousness.”

1John 1:7-9

In His love,
