VICTORY OVER SIN- Churchill Braknell
| Message taken from Colossians 1:13 (AMPC)
Colossians 1:13 (AMPC): "[The Father] has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and the dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,"
When we accepted the saving grace of Jesus, and surrendered to His Lordship - we were literally snatched out of the kingdom of darkness, and brought into the kingdom of light. We were set free from the bondage sin had over our lives - that sin we were powerless to overcome. Now, the same faith we used to accept this grace is what we use every day to remain in that mindset of freedom. Maintaining a mind that is constantly being renewed to the life we have in Jesus can be a real fight - but it's a fight we have the power to win! That's why it's called a good fight - where we deliberately choose to surrender our old way of thinking to God's way. By consistently filling our minds with God's thoughts, from His Word, our faith increases and becomes the dominant force in our lives. It overrides the pull and power of the sin we were once powerless to resist. Continuously keeping our minds saturated with God's truth causes it to be firmly rooted in our hearts - so we remain stable and fixed in our freedom and victory over sin.
