Constant Battles!

The Best of the Feast    Apr. 28, 2016 – Romans 7 Constant Battles! clic aquí en español Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years. “11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.” Ephesians 6:11, English Standard Version (ESV) Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully read our Feast in Romans, Chapter 7; “Believers are united to Christ, that they may bring forth fruit unto God. (1-6) The use and excellence of the law. (7-13) The spiritual conflicts between corruption and grace in a believer. (14-25)” -  Matthew Henry Concise. Today we prayerfully continue our Feast in Romans 7.  Saints we are united to Christ Jesus, to go forth gathering good fruit unto God.  The law is excellent in its functioning as it tells us how to live. There is no salvation in God’s law because it is used to shed light on our sinful nature in the flesh. The spiritual battle rages between our corrupt flesh and God’s grace while we live in the flesh. “24 Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? 25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.” Romans 7:24-25, ESV.  We must have faith in Jesus to overcome this battle between our spirit and flesh. “5 For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, 6 and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, 7 and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. 8 For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.” 2 Peter 1:5-8, ESV.  We have the need to nurture our faith in Jesus?  Is this possible can we grow our faith in Jesus?  The answer is a resounding yes (see Romans 10:17)!  In order to be effective and fruitful we must feast in the Word God gave us regularly.  God gave us the Word that we may have life abundantly.  A sin free life is an abundant life. Give God all the glory for our righteousness is in Jesus and not of ourselves.  If the Lord is willing I will send and post the Feast again tomorrow.    God Bless You, Brother Mike Links That Inspire me |Click Here| http: //www.admenu.com https://admenu.wordpress.com
