Nature

"And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God." Romans 6:12

When we accept Christ as our Lord and Savior, our old nature dies. But why are your old ways still causing you to stumble. It very simple, and you have to ask yourself this question...

If your old nature is dead? Why do you spend so much time with it? Think of it two ways, everyday your feeding yourself. It's your choice what you eat, and whatever you feed will grow. Why is it as Christians do we always feel like we are following all these guidelines and rules? When facing temptation why should you have to ask yourself the question 
"is this wrong or right?" You need to FULLY SUBMIT yourself to God first and then there won't be any question. You know the answer! You can't have one foot in the pool and one out. The key word here is SUBMISSION. Your entire life, everything! 

When you fully submit, you become a weapon for God. I don't know about you but I want to be the best most deadliest weapon on the battle field. The problem is Satan is looking for guns to fire as well... It's our choice. God is waiting for full submission, and I'm ready to enroll.

Where's the sign up sheet? Can I be a mighty sword that God uses to win many battles for lost souls? Blake, I'm into your passion and I like where your heads been at for the last few months. Keep rallying these troops.
