ROMANS 7:24-25
Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!
=====
ROMANS 6:11
Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
ROMANS 6:6
knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin;
=====
MATTHEW 28:18
And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
EPHESIANS 6:10
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might.
2 CORINTHIANS 12:9
And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
=====
JOHN 7:38
He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’”
JOHN 4:14
but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”
God Allows
God allows that failure that the Regenerate man should be taught his own utter impotence.
I am a Regenerate Child of God, but I am utterly helpless to Obey His Law.
World
Like falling a prey to the opium craving…
There is a Satanic power behind every worldly thing.
How Vital THEREFORE for EVERY Christian to have a Clear Revelation of the spirit of the world in order to appreciate how real is the danger to which he is continually exposed.
Reckon It So
Knowing that our old man was Crucified,…Reckon ye also yourselves to be dead.
That is the order.
When we Know that our old man HAS BEEN Crucified With Christ, THEN the next step is to Reckon it so.
Necessary
Trust the Lord with Childlike Faith and give yourself Completely to Do His Will – that is all that is necessary.
Conditions
On what Conditions He will Send the Spirit: if we Love Him and Keep His Commandments.
As we Keep the Commandments Through the Spirit, the Spirit will be Granted to us in Fuller Measure.
Holy Spirit
Christ would Ascend to Heaven and Ask the Father to Send the Comforter, the Holy Spirit.
He would not do this only once, but it would become part of His Intercessory Work.
He Would Live Forever to Plead With God on their behalf.
