Hello, if you won’t mind me saying a few words....
It’s a good thing you can see your flesh coming a mile away, that means the Spirit is quickening your heart to sin. This is a step in the right direction...The next would be seeing how utterly hopeless you are to overcome your flesh. Once this is seen and than the next step is to see that only your death will free you from yourself..Than the next step is to see that this is what Christ accomplished for you on the cross. He took you to death with Him when He died on the cross for you...It is by faith do we make this truth and real in our lives...We are told to reckon ourselves dead to sin. This reckoning is a moment by moment reckoning as we go through our day. For the just shall live by faith. It is having faith in what Christ said He accomplished on the cross for us that sets a person free from themselves for we are our own worse enemy and it is us we need to be freed from. You are in a good spot don’t lose heart keep pressing into God from freedom from sin and walking into newness of life is for all believers..This is all accomplished by the faith of the heart turned toward Him every moment of the day. A constant reckoning oneself dead to sin and alive unto God. For all things come from God through the faith of the heart turned towards Him.
Also no person has not sinned in the last week in one form or another, for self is sin. Living out from self itself is sin. So a total and complete dead to self is necessary, this is made real line upon line, here a little there a little, as the heart embraces it’s death in Christ. For as scripture says “he that has died is freed from sin”. It is to the degree one sees and embraces by faith their death in Christ, to that degree will they be made free from self and sin and begin to walk in newness of life.,
Be blessed as you go to God and ask about these things.
