Dead Things Have No Power

Send us Fan MailWell I have a couple of things regarding this message and maybe it should be two messages but just perhaps maybe I can do it in one.I started this in the morning and then finished it in another morning around 2:27am. I am telling you I could not sleep any longer. And so be it, as I think we are nearing the end as it is no secret to you as to where I stand on that matter. The bible and the signs of the times would and do agree. The first thing I want to address is that title. If you are dead to yourself, crucified in Christ and live in Him, then your old man is dead and your new man is alive in Him. This means that you no longer have the appetites of the old man because he is dead and dead things don't have appetites. And well your new man now has different appetites that your old man ever didn't have. Some of those appetites are non-sin appetites, but others are that you begin to have a deep desire to know and understand God. And as you move down the path of understanding what that looks like, that appetite grows very large helping to squeeze out any remaining appetite for the things of this world. This process is notably known as sanctification. Let’s look at the supporting scriptures:Gal 2:20 - I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/
