Running with Freedom

Romans 6:15-23
Paul tells me that whatever I choose to do becomes my master. So if I decide to over indulge in food every day then food becomes my master.
I am in bondage to sin but God has delivered me from the law of sin and death and from the tyranny of self. Sin has no power over me.
Every day I need to strive... strive to be a slave... a slave to my new master... righteousness. My heavenly father embodies righteousness therefore I need to choose to live that out every day.
The result of continuing to live a life of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Once you get a taste of being alive you wont want to go back to being dead. I will no longer have the hunger to over indulge in my large daily intake of calories. But instead I will have an Addictive Aliveness in God.

prayers of my life:

"Father God, thank You for Your grace and mercy in my life. Thank You for believing in me, for giving me a hope and a future. Today I choose to stretch; I choose increase; I choose to rise up higher so that I can be all You’ve created me to be. In Jesus' Name. Amen."

Dear Lord, I want to please you with my words of my mouth and meditations of my heart. I want to spark a revolution for our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. I pray that you let my whole life be a blazing offering, a life that shouts and sings the greatness of the king. Bend me and mold me use me for your glory. In Jesus' name. Amen

But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that his life may be revealed in our mortal body. So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.

2 corinthians 4:7-12

The gospel so much exceeds the law in glory, that it eclipses the glory of the legal dispensation. But even the New Testament will be a killing letter, if shown as a mere system or form, and without dependence on God the Holy Spirit, to give it a quickening power. (2Co 3:12-18)

Dear Lord, I need Your loving touch today. Let Your love song wash over me and fill my heart. I release my feelings of doubt to You and rest in Your undying love. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
