Seed for Jan 23

Eph 6:10
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
(KJV)

What is the “might” that we stand in? It is the power of God resident in us. That is the mystery Paul spoke about, that God would inhabit His people and give them of His power. We are to walk, sit and stand in that power. We are to perform supernatural feats of strength because of the power of His might! We are to walk in the light, resist the devil, not continue in sin, walk in the Spirit, enjoy no condemnation, and let the same mind that was in Jesus Christ be in us!

Again, I declare, if we are powerless over sin, then that gospel is a myth! If we must yield to temptation and commit sin, then the power within, the Power of God, in us is useless. If I cannot walk in the Light, and stand fast in the liberty, and have my life transformed by the power of the Spirit of God, Christ Jesus in me, then what I preach and have preached for 35 years would be of no value. If I must sin daily, as some preach, and others practice, then what good is the power of the Holy Ghost in my life? If I must sin daily, then how can Jesus’ message of “Go and sin no more…” have any value in my life? Am I so powerless over temptation that I must yield, when Paul said, I am dead to sin and its demands. No! I will not accept the false teaching all must sin everyday, and that we are powerless over sin.

For years and years they taught track runners no one can run a 4 minute mile! It is a physical impossibility. As a result of this mindset, no one could. Then one day, one runner beat a 4 minute mile, and now it is a common happening in track. What happened? Track runners were defeated in their minds! What if you continually told the saints of God, you cannot stop sinning, no matter what, it is an impossibility? And then someone came along with faith in God’s own Word, and declared, In Christ Jesus we have been empowered with victory of sin and temptation…what would happen then? Be blessed.
