Join the club, I am as banged up as you are, stuck in Rom 7, emotionally,
Now im speaking to you., Johann
Listen,
Here is a reality.
"as a person thinketh in their heart".....so they become.
You have 2 things working on you, and its keeping you in a dark place where the devil can beat you up.
1.) you've been taught the lie that you are to sin, confess, and expect it,..... and then run to 1 John 1:9 and make it all better.
Notice it doesn't?
Notice it does not make you better? Does not free you from that sin.
That is because this theology is a LIE....its not TRUE.
NetChaplin is lying about that...., and not just him.
So, when you try to heal, and walk in victory over your lust, your flesh..... using the 1 John 1:9 Cult theology dance, you dont heal, you dont recover, and all you do is grow weary and burn out.
That is the effect of Roman's 7, wrongly divided.
Part 2) : of your issue is....... you read......."that which i want to do, i dont do....so i find a law, warring against the law..."
See that?
That is Paul explaining what YOU ARE DOING WRONG, and the effect of it is slow torture, and no relief.
All this, is to be caught up in a wrong belief system.....as that's how it FEELs to try to do what can't be done.
You can't live the victory over your flesh, by WILLPOWER + 1 John 1:9 that is written to unbelievers.
See what happens when you try.?
What is the answer?
How do you get here........>"Christ always gives me the VICTORY", over my flesh, the world, and the devil", as Paul explained as He continued Romans 7, in 1 Corinthians 15:57, Johann.
That is the other part of Paul's Testimony and explanation that is the ANSWER.
We are not left in: "i can't do it, and it gets harder when i try"., as that is the FLESH trying to do something Spiritual.
And when you try to do that, you are this.....Jesus said...>"Apart from me, you can do nothing".
"nothing".... is...>"that which i would do, i can't do, and that which i want to do..."" ""Who will deliver me from this BODY OF DEATH".
See that?
Now Look :
""""O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? [25]
I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
See how Paul RESOLVES Roman 7 where you live? ?
Here is the KEY.."with the MIND i serve the law of God..... This is the RENEWED MIND that understands that you are become the righteousness of God, and Romans 4:8, is meant for you to BELIEVE.
AND....That is to understand that you are made righteous, and kept so, by Jesus's BLOOD....... and so now you can RELAX in God's Grace and REST from all that self effort and self righteousness.
The law of God for the BORN AGAIN, is = You are "not under the law, but under GRACE"........ = Grace is the LAW for the born again.
And when you are trying to be good and strive against sin, you are "but with my Flesh the law of sin", you are under that dominion , and that can't be done.
"The power of SIN< is THE LAW".......and that means "when i try to be good, the "curse of the law" becomes a chain"
The good news?
"Jesus came to deliver us from the CURSE OF THE LAW"..... Not 1 John 1:9.
See, you believe that as long as you are not doing something wrong, then you are A-OK with God., and that is the wrong mind.
That is the mind of the FLESH. "If i do good, then i am good".
But that is not SALVATION.
Salvation is...."im MADE RIGHTEOUS by Jesus's BLOOD, and that is = the Gift of Salvation and the Gift of Righteousness"..
Listen
If you have gone to the Cross of Christ and believed by faith, then you went there as a SINNER.
God instantly made you a SAINT, as if you had never ever sinned.
That is the Grace of God, and the Blood Atonement.
5 Mins earlier you were a hell bound sinner.... and 1 second later, you are an Heir of God, a SAINT< seated in heavenly places, "made righteous".
And did you work for that?
Did you live holy before God made you so?
You did not....so, now you are trying to do for yourself, what was done for you already on the Cross of Christ, 2000 yrs ago.
See that?
When you believe it, you will find God's Grace as your place of REST...... and Roman's 7 wont ever harm you again., nor any heretic who wants you to stay there, and suffer there.
