Learning How To Win
This Is The Make Up Of A Human
Rom 7:22 (NIV) For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; It is very important that you understand your personal make up. You are a spirit being; you have a soul; and you live in a body. You are made up of three parts that influence you, your life, and your decisions. However, Jesus just wants to work with you concerning you, a spirit being, and you a body, for now. You may have considered your body as just being a mechanism that had no real decision making influence over you. Rom 7:23 (NIV) But I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. As you can see, your body isn’t just a machine waiting for your commands. If you don’t accept this evaluation presented in this Scripture, you will be confused, disappointed in yourself as a Christian, and trying to get yourself fixed. But, if you will accept this Biblical principle, your approach to healing will change drastically. Rom 7:24 (NIV) What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? You probably never saw your body as a body of death. But, if you don’t agree with the Bible, you will remain unable to win over those things that are hurting you. You and your body are not on the same page. Your body is animalistic; and is similar to the characteristics of a wolf. It has drives, urges, needs, and cravings that it is willing to satisfy in a very animalistic and self-centered way. Assuming that you have allowed Jesus to help you accept these Biblical diagnoses, you are now ready to start heading into the procedures of healing. With a little more truths laid out for you, so you can understand what is going on inside you, you will be able to pray knowledgeably and specifically. Once your prayers are targeted and strategic, Jesus will be able to answer those types of prayers and bring powerful miracles to you. This Is The Source Of Your Problem
Rom 7:18 (NIV) I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I HAVE the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. You are trying to win over your issues with alcohol and something is fighting you. Let Jesus take you through this verse to help you understand what the solution has to be applied to. You Are Not Your Body
I know that nothing good lives in me: This is talking about your body. It says: “lives in ME” as if your body is you. That is because you must not start thinking you lack responsibility for it. You must see it as a separate part of you; but, it will only stop hurting you and other people through you “doing what it takes” to change its behavior. But, it is confusing when I, me, and my are used to talk about your spirit and your body interchangeably. So, let Jesus help you get this sorted out; this is very important! “Lives in ME” has to be qualified because you have the Holy Spirit living inside you. 1 Cor 6:19 (NIV) Do you not know that your BODY is a temple of the Holy Spirit, Who is IN you, Whom you have received from God? You are not your own. If you don’t understand that there are these two parts to you, then when the words I, me, and my are used, you will lump them all into one part of you. But, if you can, for this study, accept there are at least two parts to you, then you will know what is good about you and what is actually bad, but can be changed. Your Body Has A Sinful Nature
I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature: You need to know where your sinful nature is. Rom 7:5 (NIV) For when we were controlled by the sinful nature, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies, so that we bore fruit for death. If you are going to be healed from your alcohol issues, then you must accept that the reason you are going through what you are going through has it basis flowing from your body. If you have the desire to do what is good and you know that desire isn’t in your body, then where is it? Rom 7:22 (NIV) For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; There you are! The real you has finally been identified. And, the attitudes of the real you have been established. You delight in God’s law! Jesus and you aren’t having a problem with alcohol because of you. You and Jesus are having the problem because of your body. It has been given a voice and an expression of its animalistic desires on all humans. When Adam and Eve sinned by eating from the Tree Of The Knowledge Of Good And Evil, that fruit gave their body a powerful influence on their spirit or inner being (Genesis 3:1-11). Then as they had children, they passed that sinful nature to them. Then it went through them to all humans thereafter. |
You Must Want And Hate
Delight In Righteousness
Rom 7:22-23 (NIV) For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; BUT, I see ANOTHER law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members.
