Step Nine - "Prepare For Battle"
|
1Corinthians 6:12
All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
|
"I'm saved, washed in the Blood of Christ, no longer a slave to Sin."
Does this mean I can do what I want?"
"Better think again.You're in the Army Now"
Jesus, who having earned the title Commander in Chief has taken HIS place at the right hand of the Father and now looks to an army ready to take back the land, to reach out to the lost. Now we must prepare for battle by laying aside everything in our life that would hinder us. Freedom isn't the ability to do whatever we want in life. Freedom is the ability to stand before the Father knowing we have done nothing to offend one of HIS little ones.
Hebrews 12:1- 4
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
|
Saved by Grace and Redeemed by HIS blood it is now time for us to lay aside everything that would hinder us as we strive to do the work of our Lord.
God's Grace in Our Lives
