Breaking patterns...the flesh we live in enemy, the Spirit..frees us, breaks every chain, shapes us
God's law is meant to bring life.
7:7

God's love is guidance, direction, insight
God designed the human machine to run on himself.
Sin hijacks what God meant for good.
God designs, Satan distorts
Freedom - slavery
Sex- lust
Authority - abuse
Community - camps
Rest - laziness
This world, this life, our bodies
Rm 7:15-16 but if I know what I'm doing is wrong, this shows that I agree the Law is good.
Vr 17,18 your sin nature is the enemy within you
The questions lead to, what is wrong with me? .Paul is making a diagnosis. How desperate we really are to be freed.
Rm 7:10-11 sin took advantage of this commands to receive and kill net
Sin is a parasite trying to kill you.. cause spiritual death..
Sin leads us to our own suicide.
The sun nature:
It's intention is to spread, kill, and destroy you and others..pain, evil, by hiding within...
God can, will, and does deliver you.

MAKE WAR AGAINST SIN.. defeat it by God, .the Holy Spirit. Jesus resurrection power.
Rm 7:4 You died....you are united with God....

We may be free, but flesh hasn't gone away. So we must fight it. Don't feed the flesh. The flesh can grow if we feed it. Go to war against it, stop feeding it. Starve the flesh.
That sin nature wants to destroy you and everything about you. Starve it. Be done with it.
Some day that sin nature will be totally done with
Be done with the things of the flesh.
Feed on the word.
Feed the Spirit.
Romans 8 is coming. Walk by the Spirit.
What you're feeding is what is growing.
Bring others into your life..do battle together... bring God into the account for one another.
Rm 7:22-23 God Jesus brings freedom.
