“The heart of man controls the body of man, not the other way around
Sin doesn’t make our heart corrupt, but a corrupt heart makes us sin.
God looks on our hearts, and our cleanliness or defilement in His sight
is dependent solely on whether or not we have been made clean
in our spirits by the blood of the Lamb.
The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all unrighteousness.” (Andrew Wommack)
Therefore, in Christ, we are clean…
So as we focus on who we are in Christ…
HE starts to work on us, unrestrained and unrestricted, from the inside out.
When we focus on the flesh or live according to the flesh and not the Spirit
HE may still be working in us but is restricted and restrained by our choices
So as we abide in Him
And His Words abide in us…
As we seek first His kingdom and His righteousness…
As we choose to spend time with Him…
Talking, in prayer, fellowshipping with Him
Reading the Word…
We will find ourselves changing effortlessly
Our addictions, whatever they may be…
Will fall off us
For we are those who seek FIRST the kingdom of God…
We LEAVE everything up to Him
We STOP trying to work it out – as the heathen do
And TRUST Him…
And when He (the Holy Spirit) has come,
He will convict the world of sin…
of sin, because they do not believe in Me (Jesus)
(John 16:8 & 9 NKJV)
Whatever we do, say or think…
Do wholly onto Jesus
The Holy Spirit ALWAYS points us towards Jesus
In our work and our play…
At home or away…
In the city or the country…
Be focused on Him
