Romans 6:11

 

Romans 6:11

 

“In the same way consider your selves to be dead to sin but alive for GOD, by your union with JESUS CHRIST.” Romans 6:11

 

“If you give GOD everything – there is nothing left for the enemy to steal.” Pastor Bob Harris

 

“IF The SPIRIT of GOD brings to your mind a Word of The LORD that hurts you, you may be sure there is something He wants to hurt to death.” Oswald Chambers

 

The theme is total surrender or always being held in some order of captivity to the devil. James told us, “Therefore submit to GOD. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to GOD and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands you sinners, and purify your hearts you double-minded.” James 4:7-8

 

So why is that so hard? This is a question we all must meditate on in Philippians 3 before HOLY SPIRIT.

 

John was told by the angel in Revelation 12:11, “And they overcame him by the Blood of The LAMB, the word of their testimony and they did not love their lives more than death.”

 

I know how hard this is and in America we have not really suffered persecution for The Gospel, only for ourself as James says in 1:12-18; it’s lust then sin then death. Or, “Of His own Will He brought us forth by The Word of Truth, that we might be a kind of first fruits of His creatures.”
