To see the truth of the statement;
~I can do nothing with myself.~
To be brought to the place, where as plain as the heart that beats in your chest, to know and see this truth inwardly;
~I can’t make any real and lasting changes in me. Sooner or later with the right circumstances and pressures, I will resort and return to my own sin, as much as I may not want to, I will, because that is that which I am in and of myself. To have tried and failed over and over again, but to no avail. As tight as you might tighten down the willpower screw, failure and falling into sin invariably happens.~
So to God one cry’s;
“Lord I can’t stop sinning by myself”
(This is a most blessed place)
Than when the heart is truly ready to give up all of itself to death, rather than sin. God opens the truth of;
Our being crucified with Christ, of our deaths in Christ.
To see that only, by our death we will truly be freed from the us that would willingly choose to sin.
Death to us is our only hope.
Death to us, death to all that was born out of my mother’s womb. Death to the life that Adam fell into.
Death to me. To see that all that would want and choose to sin, was taken with Christ on the cross, and put to death with Him.
Than the faith of the heart turned to this truth;
“it is no longer I that lives but Christ that lives in me”
The faith of the heart that would grab onto this truth with all of its strength, will most certainly by experience learn to walk in newness of life.
Blessings,
Much love in Christ, Not me
