Gaining independence from sin

surrender
When you became a Christian, God declared war on sin’s strongholds in your life. God commanded you to tear down sinful behaviors and attitudes that were firmly entrenched in your character. The Holy Spirit pointed out areas of your life that were resistant to God’s Will. Were you tempted to merely establish a truce rather than obliterating every sin? Is anger/lies one of sin’s strongholds? If so, it will rise up against you in moments of weakness. Is there a stronghold of lust in your life? If so you will succumb to it when caught off guard! In careless moments, these strongholds will still tempt you to continue your past sinful behaviors. Do not underestimate the destructive power of sin. If there are strongholds in your life that you have never defeated, the Holy Spirit is prepared to bring you complete victory. Do not delay further. Start today. You will be glad you did! ~Judges 2:3
