Confessions about Protection

February 26, 2007 No Comments

I listen to wisdom and will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm. Pr 1.33

The Lord is a shield for me, my glory and the One who lifts up my head. Ps 3.3

Mind Focus in Christ

‘And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. (Mark 12:30)

Confessions on Death to Sin

February 26, 2007 No Comments

I reckon I’m really dead to sin. # Rom 6.11

My old nature was crucified with Jesus, so I am dead to myself also.

I reckon I’m really alive to God, in Jesus Christ my Lord. # Rom 6.11

I do not let sin rule in my mortal body, to obey it in its lusts. # Rom 6.12

I do not yield my members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin. I rather yield myself to God and my members as instruments of righteousness to God. # Rom 6.12-6.13

I am Christ’s and have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Therefore I no longer have desire for any kind of impurity or sinful behaviour. (Galatians 5:19, 24)

How to Overcome Temptation

February 26, 2007 2 Comments

Satan will try to get me away from being filled with the Spirit, by offering in my mind temptations which appeal to the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes or the pride of life.

What should I do when I am aware of temptations?

1. Look to Jesus Christ. Try to force the mind off the temptation by looking to the Lord and His Word.

2. Immediately seek to be filled with the Holy Spirit.

3. Endeavour, if possible, to flee temptation.

4. Pray for the Lord not to lead me into temptation.

5. Use spiritual weapons where possible – speak the Word, praise God etc.
