Deliverance from self


Deliverance

 

2nd Cor. 4: 10-11 “Always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus Christ,

that the life of Jesus may be manifested in our body, for we who live are always delivered

to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh”

 

We live our life by the energy of the supernatural life of Christ.

His resurrection power ... is sustained and sustaining

This does not really mean ... you won’t be weak again

but one thing is for certain ... God’s “Will” will be ordaining

 

God never dispenses His Life and strength to be consumed selfishly

God gives His strength to us ... so we can desire to die to our will

And to do that on our own ... He has shown to be impossible

For the natural is strong ... and takes a flash or years to kill
