DEAD TO SIN

Romans 6:6” We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.”

God did not save us from the deadly pit through His precious blood not for us to live a status-quo life but God is looking for TRANSFORMATION.  Anybody listening?  There is not an iota of change in the lives of the some so called saved-Christians, they say ‘religion is personal’. Oh yeah? Jesus was crystal clear in His words when He said, ‘You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.’ Matthew 5:14 Anybody listening?

After my salvation experience through the miraculous birth of my son Joshua, I entered the bank where I worked like a tsunami wave.  I shared my testimony during all the breaks available at work,  stayed away from toxic-gossip groups, started eating alone on the terrace steps which eventually turned out to be a place of fellowship where my ministry started.   Glory to Jesus!

In John 8:10-11, Jesus, left alone with a woman accused of adultery, asks where her accusers are. Upon hearing they have all left, he declares that he does not condemn her either, telling her, "Go now and sin no more." Jesus offered her abundant grace, did not condemn her but at the same time requested her to repent and turn away from her sinful life and take a NEW DIRECTION in her life away from all evil contacts.  That may include deleting all EX mobile contacts, friends that took you in the path of destruction, unhealthy habits and more.  Are you listening? One particular family  were suffering from severe demonic attacks because of idol worship, I helped the entire family move to a new location , far away from where they were earlier staying.  I did not stop with just giving them instructions, I travelled myself from Hyderabad, stayed with the family, helped them find a new house and also introduced them to a church pastor.  You cannot on one side live with idols and expect deliverance.  SIN NO MORE.

How does one live a holy life and not sin at all?  God is not looking for 100 percent monks, he wants a heart that is surrendered to Him and clinging to Him daily for strength. 
Friend, waking up early for prayers, reading the Bible, going to Church, fasting, memorizing scriptures, praying and meditation are all part of spiritual growth which are not ‘legalistic burdens’ but these are intentional spiritual discipline that helps us to stay firm and intimate with Christ.
