The Exchange

Apostle Grace Lubega

Romans 7:18-20(KJV); For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

There is a continuous war between the man of the flesh and the man of the spirit; the inner man and the physical man.

The physical man has a way in which he views the world which is wholly different from how the man of the spirit sees the world.

Paul explains this internal battle in our theme scripture when he says, “For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.”

Liberty begins when the physical man is submitted enough to the spirit man to do whatever the spirit man wants and when he wants it and whenever occasion serves him.

True warfare is when we learn to build the inner man, that at all times and in all places, he brings the physical man into subjection to him.

This battle is won every time we live from the inside out rather than from the outside in.

Be strengthened in the inner man through His Holy Spirit because every time you are fortified from within, you win from without. Glory to God!

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for the victory that I have in you. How can I fail when you have made me your permanent habitation? I rest in the blessed assurance that you strengthen me every day; you uplift my spirit from the deepest dumps and cause me to soar in the planes of victory. In all that I do, I look within and never without, for there is the testimony of strength and of truth. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
