POWER UP: Use Divine Power to Conquer Sin
APRIL 27, 2024
And because you belong to Him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death.
Romans 8:2, NLT
Recommended Reading: Romans 8:1-8
Jeremiah described our hearts as “deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked” (Jeremiah 17:9). We’ve all experienced the guilt and shame of passions we couldn’t control, addictions we couldn’t break, sins we couldn’t resist. Some of these are sins of commission—things we do; some are sins of omission—things we should do but haven’t; some are sins of disposition—attitudes that need correcting.
We can never have victory without the spiritual power of the Holy Spirit within us. We can’t resist temptation in our own strength. We need the Lord Jesus within us by His Spirit. Yes, it requires constant effort on our part. We can never give up or give in. The Bible likens us to soldiers who continue fighting. But we can ask the Lord to strengthen us through His Spirit within.
Don’t keep yielding to the same sins over and over. Yield yourself to God, and ask for the Spirit’s power to set you free from the power of sin.
All indwelling sin can be stripped of its dominion through the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit.
David Wilkerson
