BLESSINGS FROM RIGHTEOUS LIVING

My Dear Precious Child, After Paul wrote trut to the Roman Christians that where the devil's sins abound, My grace does much more abound, He asked them if they believed that they should continue in sin so that My grace will be more apparent? He answered his own question by writing, "Certainly not!" He asked them, "How can you, who died to the devil's temptations, go on living by obeying them?" In order to explain that, he asked them, and I ask you, if you are aware that when you were baptized in the Holy Spirit that you were baptized into Christ's death, and through being baptized into His death you were buried with Him through being, in His likeness, baptized into death, and so are you also like Him baptized unto His resurrection? (Romans 6:1-5) In other words, when you were born of His Holy Spirit you became as He is in the world, so it is the life of the Holy Spirit in you who has already experienced death on the cross, traveled to hell where you in Christ wrestled away from the devil the authority to the earth, you were resurrected back to earth by the power of My Holy Spirit, you were sent the power to cause you and Jesus Christ to ascend into heaven. He is the same power that was poured out upon people on the day of Pentecost when they, and you, became born of My Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit. You were in Christ by the person of the Holy Spirit when you became a new person in Christ Jesus. (II Corinthians 5:17) You were united with Jesus Christ in His death and also in His resurrection, experiencing the same things that He experienced. You must know this, that your old body was crucified with Him so that your old sinful body of flesh might no longer be a slave to the devil's temptation to sin. So if you died with HIm, then you must believe that you can also live by the same power that was in Him, the Holy Spirit. If you died with Him, you must now live by His presence in your life in the person of the Holy Spirit. A dead man is free from the devil's temptations. So we know that Christ will never die again because He was already raised from the dead, so death no longer has power over Him. He died to sin, that being the devil's temptations and works. Since you are dead to sin, you are completely alive to Me and My kingdom of God. (Romans 6:6-11) Therefore, since you are dead spiritually to the devil's temptations, which is sin, you must not allow sin to rule your body and make you obey its many lusts; no more will you yield the members of your own body to obey the lusts of your body to be weapons for evil. Instead, offer your body to Me to be a weapon for the salvation of the world as a person who has come back from death to life and your body as a weapon for Me for salvation of the earth. Sin no longer should have control over you; you are now under the grace and guidance of My Holy Spirit not under religious Law which condemns you and brings death. (Romans 6:12-14) So since you are no longer under Law but under My favor it doesn't mean that you are free to sin. Of course not. Realize that you are a slave to whatever you yield that is of the devil's demons, you are a slave to sin when you yield to sinful temptations. Thanks be to God, even though you were once a salve to sin, you are now a slave to righteousness which was taught to you by My Holy Spirit and by the Jesus Christ. Having become free from sin's slavery, you are now a slave of My salvation and righteousness for the world. Just like once you were a slave to impurities and degradation, you must make your body a slave of your sanctification, meaning your salvation. (Romans 6:15-23) What benefit did you enjoy when you were a slave to sin? Only things you were ashamed of and all of them led to death. Now that you are dead to sin and alive to Me through the voice of My Holy Spirit speaking in you, you are inheritors of all of My blessings and rewards of eternal life. The wages of sin are death; but My gift to you is eternal life in Christ Jesus your Lord. There is no real choice for you between them. One is death and one is Life. Choose Life and live a blessed existence in the earth. Your Father of Benefits and Rewards
