Mind
The mind is the battleground in Spiritual Warfare.
If the mind be Renewed, the Image of God can easily be Restored.
Put
Put Off, Put Away, and Put On are Actions of the Will.
Believers need to Exercise their will to Reject all the works of the old man and to Choose All the Freshness of the New Man.

JOHN 4.23-24
but there comes an hour, and it now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also seeks such to worship Him; God [is] Spirit, and those worshiping Him should worship in spirit and truth.”
=====
ROMANS 7.18
for I have known that there does not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh, good: for to will is present with me, and I do not find to work that which is right,
=====
1 CORITHIANS 3.9
for we are fellow-workmen of God; you are God’s tillage, God’s building.
=====
1 PETER 1.5
who, in the power of God are being guarded, through faith, to salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time,
=====
COLOSSIANS 3.9-10
Do not lie to one another, having put off the old man with his practices, and having put on the new, which is renewed in regard to knowledge, after the image of Him who created him,
EPHESIANS 4.22-24
concerning the former behavior you are to put off the old man, that is corrupt according to the desires of the deceit, and to be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and to put on the new man, which, according to God, was created in righteousness and kindness of the truth.
God’s Illumination
Real Seeing and Understanding comes only from God’s Illumination.
As Light Shines, we just Naturally See.
Wears Out
Especially with respect to the human body, we may easily see how the enemy wears out the Children of God.
We Stay
We must never allow ourselves to disbelieve God.
He Assures us that we are In Christ;
All that He Asks us is that, in Attitude and Action as well as Faith, we Stay There.
Are You Ready
Are you Ready to Give Up self to the death?
You yourself, the living person born of God, are Already in Me Dead to sin and Alive to God; but are you Ready Now, in the Power of This Death, to Mortify your members, to Give Up self Entirely to its Death of the Cross, to be Kept There until it be Wholly Destroyed?
Am I Prepared to say that the old self shall no longer have a word to say; that it shall not be allowed to have a single thought, however natural – not a single feeling however gratifying – not a single wish or work, however right?
Could Not Do
He at last Knew what he could not do.
And that was Precisely the Place which God Had Wanted him to Arrive at All Along.
