Seed for Jan 22

Phil 4:13
13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
(KJV)

I can continue to do all things thru Jesus Christ who continues to empower me. My question is: Does all things include walk in the Spirit? Does it include live a life well pleasing to God? Does, all things thru Christ, mean live a life above sin? Absolutely! Yes!

If we are powerless to live a life pleasing to God, i.e. walk in the Spirit, by the empowerment of the Spirit within, then we are of all men most miserable! If the resident power of God is not sufficient to lift my live above the power of sin and temptations, then I preach a myth. If the New Creation in me is not greater than the power of sin and death, then Paul lied. If I cannot “Go and sin no more…” by the power of God working in me, then I declare by my life of failure that the power of the Spirit is useless, and no more than a “dream”.

No! I declare the power working in me, has set me free from the law of sin and death. The power of God working in me is greater than he that is in the world. I can do all things by the power of Jesus within and that includes walking in the Spirit and not fulfilling the lust of the flesh. I can live a life well pleasing to God, above sin, because of Him that lives and empowers me. I can live everyday above sin and temptation, because greater is He in me!

Be blessed,
Billy and Jan Wells
