There have been a few wonderful ministries over the past decades. And some of these are still being broadcast over radio.
.
The problem is that these past ministries were quite often designed for Christians living in spiritual Babylon, which this fallen world is.
.
And so, much of the advice on these broadcasts was mingled with some really worldly advice.
.
And most of these ministries had some glaring errors in the doctrines presented.
.
It doesn’t mean that these Bible teachers were all necessarily apostate, (though many of them were apostate).
.
But God is testing us, to see if we love these fallible men more than we love Him and His Word!
.
And so, God allowed erroneous teachings to be mingled into the otherwise good and biblical teachings.

LIVING IN DEFEAT
.
And one of the erroneous doctrines which has been taught over the past decades is, that we Christians must remain in a semi-diseased spiritual condition.
.
Yes, the great masses within the Church have been misled by our leaders to believe that we cannot overcome the flesh.
.
Now this is not to say that we will be able to be totally sinless, at this present hour!
.
But it does not mean that we must be slaves to our lusts: lusts of the flesh, lusts of the eyes, and the pride of life!
.
We won’t always be sliding back into such things as gluttony, anger, coffee-addiction, and other such-like sins.

OLD MAN ALIVE AFTER BAPTISM
.
Listen again to Paul…
…”Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him,
that the body of sin might be destroyed,
that henceforth we should not serve sin.”
Romans 6:6
.
Now, our modern-day teachers often tell us that this happens at the time of our baptism.
.
And yes, when we become baptized into the Spirit of God, we become reckoned as “crucified with Christ”. (Galatians 2:20)
.
But anyone who is half-way honest must confess that just because we get baptized in water, by no means did that ceremony crucify our “Old Man”!
.
But to the contrary, our Old Man will soon rise up and begin a war for total control over our desires!
.
So there has to be more to all this!
.
But what does it mean to crucify that Old Man?

HOW IS THE OLD MAN CRUCIFIED?
.
So there has to be more to all this!
.
And so, just what does it mean to crucify that Old Man?
.
Perhaps this next verse will shed some light upon this common dilemma, which plagues every person who calls his or her self a Christian…
.
Listen…. “Thy Word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against Thee” Psalm 119:11
.
And again…“But his delight is in the Law of the Lord, and in His Word doth he meditate…day and night!”
.
So, here is where our victory is to be fought and won…by prayerfully hiding God’s Word in our hearts.

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY”
Proverbs 25:25
.
And so, the very GOOD NEWS is that God promises to give us victory, if we don’t give up…
…”He who hath begun a good work in you,
will perform it unto the Day of Jesus Christ!
Philippians 1:6
.
And so, with such promises as this how can we fail?!

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN

FLEEING WOMAN OF REVELATION 12…
.
“And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle,
that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place,
where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time,
from the face of the serpent.
And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman,
that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.”
Revelation 12:14, 15.
.
So this Revelation 12 Woman Constellation gives a heavenly portrait of a woman fleeing from the Dragon, who is spewing water in her pathway.
