for me.Change me and when i feel the wrong desires or temptation to walk by the flesh i just say Lord you know i am weak and i can not live a christian life without you help me.As soon as i do that it is effortless theres no struggle thats how we should grow.I am excited with what God is doing in my life he has opened his word i am seeing the fruit
of his life impacting mine and i am changing day by day.I am walking by faith and not slipping back into my old desires i know what it means to be an overcomer sin does not have dominion over me anymore.In myself i can not boast because it is the power
of God at work in my life and i give all the praise back to God.brentnz
