Rick the more i think about it we are to live as overcomers not strugglers since the day i decided to turn away from the sin that was controlling my life i never fell back into old sinful patterns not once, was i tempted many many times.The Lord will work in our lives one area at a time he needs us to give him full control so if an area is taking control we
do need to hand it to him so he can change us.How
do we
do it immediately we say Lord you know i am
weak but in you i am strong i leaned on him and overcame time and time again.We all have areas of weakness that we struggle in so
do nt feel bad.Struggling is us trying to
do it in our own strength before this process i was so stubborn i refused to let God help me i wanted to
do it in my own strength and so it was a roller coaster ride in my christian walk if the day went well i was on a high if it
did nt i would would be down.Not any more now when
things do nt go to plan i still thank the Lord and when it goes well i thank the Lord.Because i know that all
things work for good to those who love the Lord.The main area he is wanting is our hearts he wants all our heart not only some until we come to that place we will continue to struggle in our faith.The only reason to tell you this is not to boast because of what i have
done in myself because i have nothing to boast about but if i
did i would brag that Christ has empowered me by his holy spirit to be an overcomer just as he would want you to be.As Christians we are all called to be overcomers more than conquerers.Make a decision today to turn all your hearts to the Lord to acknowledge the areas you are holding onto that are controlling your flesh life hand them to the Lord and walk according to the spirit and not the flesh and he will give you the victory.That can be a reality starting today merry christmas everyone and may the new year be an exciting one as we put all our trust in Christ our Lord and savior.Brentnz

As time goes buy the kind defenders of free will over their rejection to «dead» here and colossians 2:13 tend to resort to a familiar defense, that of labeling it a Calvinist viewpoint and that its almost a cultist view point to hold.Very sad yet very much the defense of many christians.Dead may i suggest is dead, the inability to respond,
does not mean that prior to being saved one could not read scripture but because of this spiritual deadness its not profitabel / meaningful - we just can not continue to revise the meaning of dead to fit a view point - because natural man has not been born again this deadness (spiritually) shows itself as «none seek after God», in this condition they are» slaves to sin» and the spiritual
things of God (the bible) is «folly / foolishness» even the gospel is judged by natural man as «folly / foolishness «(1 cor.1: 18) Please stop with this
weak / common defense called Calvinism - many believers are truly turned off by such a defense.We must not forget the man's «free will» is what took the whole human race down in the garden; i would hope we can rise above our love affair with the human will.
