Seed for Nov 2

Paul spoke of the "will being present" but how to perform that "will" was not, in Romans 7. Many misunderstand Paul's teaching in Romans 7. He is speaking of his life before Jesus (bc) within. He was a wretched man, doing the things he did not wish to do, and not doing the things he wanted to do. Then he ask the question, "Who will save me from this body of death?" And the answer comes...Romans 8. There is now no condemnation to those that walk in the Spirit. The secret to a victorious Christian life is Jesus within. Without Him, I am that wretched man, but with Him inside, I can do all things thru Christ! Wow! And “all things” must surely mean walk in the Spirit and not fulfill the desires of the flesh. Thanks be to God for the mighty power of Jesus within making us more than conquerors! Some people try to use Romans chapter 7 as their excuse to continue in sin. But let’s really listen to the author of Chapter 7, “How can you being dead to sin, continue in sin any longer? He that is dead (in Christ) has been made free from the law of sin and death.” Be blessed.
