For I know that in me, in my flesh, dwells no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. - Romans 7:18
Have you ever try to do something and you find yourself doing another thing? Have you try stopping a bad habit and finds it difficult to stop? You want to do certain things, you have the desire to do I but you just can't do it.
Well, you are not alone on this. The great Apostle Paul has the challenge. What He doesn't want to do, he finds himself doing. You wonder what exactly is wrong with you.
We all wants to serve God with all our heart and mind but we are pulled by the influence of sin to do something different.
So what is exactly wrong and what is the remedy?
When we focus on ourselves trying to live righteous, we will always fall short. On our own accord, we can't go far. Those who think they can do it on their own ends up obsessed with measuring their own moral muscle. You've got to focus completely on God. It has to be less and less of You and more and more of God.
Our flesh is constantly waging war with our spirit. The only way to subdue the flesh and wholeheartedly do what God wants you to do is by letting Jesus take absolute control of your life. When Jesus takes residence in your life, He controls your flesh because He is greater. Only Jesus has the power to break the chain of sin, addictions, bad habits etc in your life. Apostle Paul has the problem and he recognize that his self has no value for his spirit.
It's another day, it's wednesday. Read the whole chapters of Romans 7 and 8 to get a full understanding. It is well with you. Your spirit man will do the biding of the Master in Jesus Name.
Good Morning an an have a victorious day !
