CHRISTIANS IN BONDAGE
Romans 6:16
”Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?”
Having an inconsistent prayer life leads to a life of compromise despite one being born again. The bible does tell us that the devil is ever moving around like a roaring Lion sekeing whom to devour. It is also for this reason that the bible tells us to pray without ceasing.
God tells us this because it is only when we are in His presence that we are spiritually minded and that is when our flesh is put to subjection to obey the will of the Lord.
Many Christians today are living in bondage of repetitive sin because they have cast their prayer life away. They are not consistent as they pray in seasons while being dry in others. The bible does tell us to crucify our flesh and our flesh can only be crucified by us feeding our spirit man.
Galatians 5:24 ” And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.”
1 Corinthians 9:27
“But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
Once we become weak in our prayer life, we easily give in to the desires of our flesh including past sins. The only way to over come this is to have a consistent patter life.
Romans 6:13
“And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.”
Ephesians 4:27 “Do not give the devil a foothold
Once we are in the presence of the Lord by fasting,evangelizing,reading his word,praying and praising/worshipping Satan can not overcome us. He will definitely attack because that is his nature but he will not prevail.
Many of us may have gone back to secular movies,music and a life of sin but it is time to put on the whole armor of God.
Ephesians 6:14- 19 “Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saintsand for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel,
To overcome sin we must first change what runs through our mind,by focusing on the word of God. What runs in our minds is what manifests into the physical world.
Matthew 7:17-19 “Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
