Obey The Bible And You Will Be Healed
How Do You Do What The Bible Says?
1. APPLY The Six Biblical Principles
You are struggling with money and you want God’s help with it. God wants to help you; but, He wants to do it through a special relationship with you. He requires you to get His help by you giving up human effort and world training. He want you to start looking to the Holy Spirit for your DESIRES, for your help with your STUDIES, for guiding your PRAYERS, for helping you get Jesus’ faith so you can BELIEVE, for making sure you have God’s LOVE, and for empowering you to take FAITH-ACTION with Jesus. The answer: The Holy Spirit is going to help you do it through six Biblical principles. 2. LEARN That You ALREADY Have The DESIRE
Rom 7:15 (NIV) I do not understand what I do. For what I WANT to do I do not do, but what I HATE I do. If you WANT to do good but are failing to do good, you have the Christian attitude but are using the wrong procedures. If you HATE doing wrong but are doing wrong anyway, you have the Christian attitude but are using the wrong procedures for living the Victorious Christian life. As long as you have this Romans 7:15 DESIRE of WANT and HATE, you are a true Christian. You are a new or untrained Christian; but, you are a true Christian. 3. QUIT Using Human Effort And World Training
As a new or untrained Christian, you don’t always obey the Bible because you have been applying human effort, world training, and are being controlled by your body. You are either a new Christian who hasn’t had time to learn how to live the Christian life. Or, you are an untrained Christian who hasn’t had a mature Christian teach you how to live the Christian life. You are fulfilling the first of The Six Biblical Principles by having the DESIRE of WANT and HATE, you just need the second principle in The Six Biblical Principles of training or STUDY on how to move on from here. 4. LEARN That You Have A Sinful Nature
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. Christianity only works through the Holy Spirit and the power of Jesus. You will NEVER be able to live the Christian life on your own. Mat 11:28 (NIV) Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. John 15:5 (NIV) I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me YOU can do nothing. This is how Christianity works! 5. LEARN That You WERE Under An Old Law
Rom 8:1-2 (NIV) Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, BECAUSE through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life SET ME FREE from the law of sin and death. New and untrained Christians fail a lot; but, PRAISE GOD, they keep having that vital DESIRE-attitude of WANTING to do good and HATING the fact they are doing wrong, bad, or evil. Prior to salvation and justification, you were governed by the laws of your conscience. EVERY TIME you sinned against the Holy Spirit’s laws spoken into your conscience, you were made spiritually dead. Sin kept you separated from God; you were CONDEMNED. 6. LEARN That You ARE NOW Under A NEW Law
Since you have been saved and justified through Jesus, the law of the Spirit of life set you free from the law of sin and death. The law of sin and death required YOU to do what is right and not do what is wrong. The law of the Spirit of life requires that YOU join or cooperate with the HOLY SPIRIT in doing what is right and not doing what is wrong. 7. LEARN That The Holy Spirit Gives YOU Power
Rom 8:13 (NIV) For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if BY the Spirit YOU put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live. If you allow Jesus to teach you how to cooperate with the Holy Spirit, you will start DOING those good things you WANT to do. And, you will STOP DOING those wrong, bad, and evil things you HATE doing. That gives you the results that you have been TRYING to get through other procedures. How Do You Get The Holy Spirit’s Power? This Is The Way Christianity Works!
1. Change Your Faith, Dependency, Trust, And Reliance
Rom 8:3-4 (NIV) For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending His Own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so He condemned sin in sinful man, IN ORDER THAT the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, WHO do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit. NOW, let Jesus break this down for you; He will help you understand how Christianity works by using the parts of this passage. 2. Learn That The Law Of Sin And Death Required YOU To Do It
For what the law was powerless to do: All the law of sin and death can do is tell you what is right or wrong. It has no authority or power to make you do it; this is because you have a God-given free will. So, since the law can’t give you the power you need to live it, all it can do is make you aware of the fact that you are sinning. Then when you use human effort and world training, you find out that THEY lack the power to accomplish it; that causes you to fail every time. This leaves you still struggling with money. 3. Learn That YOU Can’t Do It BECAUSE
You Have A Sinful Nature In Your Body For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by THE SINFUL NATURE: You have a VERY powerful enemy located in your body. It is animalistic, selfish, insensitive, demanding, and unloving. The Bible calls this drive inside your body “a sinful nature.” 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. Let Jesus quickly explain this sinful nature to you:

5. Learn That You Now Have Access To The Power
For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending His Own Son: Without Jesus, you were doomed; but, through Jesus’ salvation and justification you were provided with a clean, perfect record with God. That gave you all the rights and privileges of a child of God. You now have DIRECT access to God and all He has to offer. That perfect record also gave you DIRECT access to the power of the Holy Spirit. But, because you don’t know some vital, Biblical truths, you are living in the Romans chapter seven life. HOWEVER, step by step you are STUDYING and moving into the Romans chapter eight life. 6. Learn How To Take Advantage Of Jesus’ Life
For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending His Own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering: When you accepted Jesus’ death as your death to all your past, present, and future sins, you also accepted Jesus’ life of being raised from the dead as your life. Gal 2:20 (NIV) I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself for me. The Holy Spirit is giving you the power-life of Jesus. That empowers you to win over your issues with money and every other problem in your life. 7. Learn How To Take Advantage Of Having DIRECT Access To God
For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending His Own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so He condemned sin in sinful man. Now, let Jesus help you understand what His condemning sin in sinful man means:
8. Learn That The Law Is Your Friend
For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending His Own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so He condemned sin in sinful man, IN ORDER THAT the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us: Your clean, perfect record with God gave you DIRECT access to all your heavenly Father has to offer IN ORDER THAT the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in YOU! In other words, your clean, perfect record GRADUALLY starts becoming a reality in your life. All those things you are currently being credited for through grace and mercy will start flowing out of you into your relationships with yourself and those around you. The laws of God were pointing you in the right direction, you just didn’t know how to apply The Six Biblical Principles to getting it flowing into and through your life. 9. Learn That The Sinful Nature Is Your Enemy
For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending His Own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so He condemned sin in sinful man, IN ORDER THAT the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, WHO do not live according to the sinful nature: All your emotions that are negative, hurtful, and damaging are now being brought under your control through the power of the Holy Spirit. Even though you can’t actually change your heart that is producing emotions that are debilitating, hindering, and controlling you, you and the Holy Spirit can crowd them out with emotions that are healing, empowering, and setting you free. WHO do not live according to the sinful nature: You might be thinking that the sinful nature only deals with murder, hate, cheating, lying, or coveting other people’s things. The sinful nature involves ALL those things that are hurting you. If you live according to the sinful nature, it will produce emotions of depression, discouragement, anger, frustration, greed, covetousness, desires for revenge, and all sorts of negative emotions in your heart. Letting Jesus teach you how to stop living according to the sinful nature will empower you to submit your emotions to Him. He will give you positive emotions that will fill your day with love, joy, excitement, happiness, and positive expectations. 10. Learn How To Live According To The Holy Spirit

And so He condemned sin in sinful man, IN ORDER THAT the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, WHO do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit:
