T he lord is going to do a new thing in Africa, many genuine religious group from the West will be heading toward Africa, with the gospel, many fakes ones will also be among them. The Lord told his disciples to start the preaching from their own country If a preacher has not done any thing to promote racial unity in his or her own country how can he/she help you in your country? If a man could not motivate his own children to graduate collage, how is he going to motivate another man’s child? The Christianity in the Americas is not working for them, but they will be trying to sell it to Africa.
What Africans will need to be aware of is a false Spirit claiming to be the Holy Spirit. A false version of the Bible which seem to promote the doctrine of slavery and a corrupt life style, which betrayed the teaching of the King James Version. This fake holy spirit will drive you out of your mind, and bring you right back into spiritual bondage, because it is not the genuine Holy Spirit of Christ.
This spirit making women became rebellious and young men do not know what sex they are, at the same time displaying spiritual gifts and are members of churches. You will come across people with hate in them that give you goose bumps and make your skin crawl, at the same time claimed to be Christians and preachers.
Due to Christian’s lack of knowledge, Satan has capitalized on the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. Christians fails to realize that the Holy Ghost do not physically live in the believers but live in the body of Christ here on Earth. The baptism of the Holy Ghost is not interpenetrating. Which Mean the Holy Ghost himself came to physically live in the believers. Satan capitalizes on these beliefs and is possessing people right before our very eyes and are getting away with it. After Satan spirit enters these people, it gave the person a mood swing, one moment the person is nice, the other moment the person is the devil himself. Demonic spirit brings on depression, on physical sickness upon such a believer. The believer never perfected love, are never happy nor living a victorious Christians life. A believer can be possessed.
Certain Christians came to my place of business to inquire if a certain young man came to my place. I say “ No I have not seen him, what happen to him”? They reply by saying “ He got filled with the spirit last night, then he jump through the window and ran off, since then no body saw him” Even when the guy jump through the window and run off they still think it was the Holy Spirit that fill him. Western Christians do not know the Holy Spirit or Satan as they speak.
Rev. 2:24 (KJV) ---, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.
It will not even take a child long to see that something is wrong in the churches today. You are going to realize that men preach the gospel and went home and live life that is completely anti-bible, and contrary to what the Bible teaches. Preachers do not like each other, black preacher and white preachers do not show any empathy for each other’s. Women preachers do not believe that the husband is the head of the home. Even a layman can see that the spirit of falsehood spoken of by Micah the prophet is at work in the churches today.
Micah 2:11 (KJV) If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.
SATAN HAS HIS MINISTERS HIDDEN AMONG CHRIST MINISTERS.
2 Cor. 11:13-15 (NASB-U) For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. [14] No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. [15] Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.
Acts 20:29 (NASB-U) "I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; Acts 20:30 (NASB-U) and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them. Acts 20:31 (NASB-U) "Therefore be on the alert, remembering that night and day for a period of three years I did not cease to admonish each one with tears.
THE BIBLE CALL SATAN'S MINISTERS GREEDY DOGS.
Do be fooled by fancy preaching, miracles, and spiritual gifts. All Satan ministers are well equip with these. Some healing and some conversion is actually hypnotism. One thing is common among these people. (Hate) You do not need to provoke it to be hated by them.
Matthew 24:24 (NASB-U) "For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.
Isaiah 56:10 (KJV) His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. Isaiah 56:11 (KJV) Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
Isaiah 57:1 (KJV) The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.
Matthew 7:21 (KJV) Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 7:22 (KJV) Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? Matthew 7:23 (KJV) And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
IF THE RELIGION IS NOT TAKING CARE OF WIDOWS, ORPHANS AND THE DISTRESSED IT IS IMPURE.
James 1:27 (NASB-U) Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
Isaiah 5:14 (KJV) Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.
SATAN'S FALSE CHRISTIANS.
Galatians 2:4 (NASB-U) But it was because of the false brethren secretly brought in, who had sneaked in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to bring us into bondage.
SATAN HAS A FALSE GOSPEL.
2 Cor. 11:4 (NASB-U) For if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted, you bear this beautifully. Galatians 1:6 (NASB-U) I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel;
SATAN HAS A FALSE GROUP OF SPIRITS.
1 John 4:1-3 (KJV) Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. [2] Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: [3] And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
This is where many Christians get hit, because Satan has learn a new trick since this verse was written. His demons are saying that Jesus come in the flesh now, because if they say Jesus did not come in the flesh we will know them right away.
A FAKE HOLY SPIRIT.
In the book “The Mis-Education Of The Negro” By Carter G. Woodson. Page 71. “A few months ago in Huntington, West Virginia, where the author was being entertained by friends, the party was disturbed throughout the evening by the most insane outbursts of white worshipers in a “ Church Of God” across the street. There they daily indulged in such whooping and screaming in “unknown tongues” that the Negroes have had to report them to the police as a nuisance. The author has made a careful study of the Negro church, but he has never known Negroes to do anything to surpass the performance of those heathen”
God is not a God of confusion, and God is a God or order. Any spirit make you act stupid is not the spirit of God, and any spirit make you behave in a disorderly manner is not the spirit of God.
1 Cor. 14:33 (KJV) For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
1 Cor. 14:40 (KJV) Let all things be done decently and in order.
“Even during the colonial period the whites claimed that their ministers sent to the colonies by the Anglican Church, the progenitor of the Protestant Episcopal Church in America, were a degenerate class that exploited the people for money to waste it in racing horses and drinking liquor” “The Mis-Education Of The Negro” By Carter G.

THE ROOT OF WESTERN CHRISTIANITY WENT OFF COURSE FROM THE START.
Act 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
Pentecost was not like what we have seen in the above and below of this text. In some charismatic church today, women disrupting the service, screaming out, preventing the preacher from coming on with the message. Some of them even start to speak in tongues while the preacher is preaching and bringing a message in tongues. Do you ever wonder? If God did have something to say why not just say it through the speaker, which was already speaking? After all God at one time even uses a dumb ass to speak to Balaam? Do you ever notice that it is the always the same kind of tongues and interpretations, these ladies bring? None tell any body where to find a job, how to come out of debt, how to behave to ones husband or one wife.
It was always the same “Be ye holy for I am holy” Kind of stuff, something that the church is already aware of because we all read it in the Holy Scriptures.
ALL THE EXTERNAL AND EMOTIONAL ASPECTS OF RELIGIONS BUT NOTHING IN HEART.
1Jo 4:20 The Message Bible “If anyone boasts, "I love God," and goes right on hating his brother or sister, thinking nothing of it, he is a liar. If he won't love the person he can see, how can he love the God he can't see?
1Jo 4:8 The Message Bible “The person who refuses to love doesn't know the first thing about God, because God is love--so you can't know him if you don't love”
Western religions preach and talk about the heart and soul, truth and falsehood, but as you walk with them daily you will see that it is more about money than any thing else.
Joh 13:35 The Message Bible “This is how everyone will recognize that you are my disciples--when they see the love you have for each other."
I worked among a group of nurses, and all I can hear each day is “ I don’t care” Later on you find out that they all belong to some church.
The love that the Bible is talking about is in these verses is not a feelings, but a doing, The part that say “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind” This part was “agapao"
The second part was another Greek word that was lesser in strength. “And the second is like unto it; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself” “Philos”
We are required to at least give our fellow men the lesser love. If a person professes to know God and do not have at least the lesser love, “Philos” This is a doing, and not a feelings. You run out of gas on the high way, regardless how I feel about you, I suppose to be able to give you some gas if I have it. And can afford to give it.
Matthew 22:37-40 (KJV) Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. [38] This is the first and great commandment. [39] And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. [40] On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
1. The heart: all inward affections 2.The soul: all consciousness 3. The mind: all thoughts
Luke 10:27 (KJV) And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself.
Romans 1:18 (KJV)For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; [hold the truth in unrighteousness] Hold down, suppress; imprison; bridle.
IT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO KNOW THE PURPOSE OF THE HOLY GHOST AMONG GOD’S PEOPLE.
Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 16:13 (KJV)Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. John 16:14 (KJV)He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
2 Tim. 1:7 (KJV) For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Romans 8:15 (KJV) For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
Acts 1:8 (KJV) But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. 1 John 4:6
a [Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error] The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth (John 14:16-17; John 15:26; John 16:13) and the spirit of error is Satan (2 Cor. 4:4; 2 Cor. 11:14-15; Matthew 13:19; 1 Tim. 4:1-2).
Twelve offices of the Holy Spirit:
1.Begetter of the new birth (John 3:3,5)
2.Life-giver (John 6:63; Romans 8:11)
3.Imparted of power (John 7:37-39; John 14:12-17; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-8)
4.Eternal Comforter or Helper (John 14:16,26; John 15:26; John 16:7)
5.Teacher of Truth (John 14:17,26; John 15:26; John 16:13; 1 John 2:20-27)
6.Reminder of all truth (John 14:26)
7.Guide into all truth (John 16:13)
8.Revealer of Christ (John 16:13-15)
9.Revealer of events (John 16:13)
10.Glorifier of Christ (John 16:14)
11.Chief Witness for Christ (John 15:26; John 16:13-15; Acts 1:8)
12.Convincer of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8)
Greek: elengcho , to convince, convict, refute, expose, to bring to shame the person reproved. It is found 17 times and translated "convince" (John 8:46; 1 Cor. 14:24; Titus 1:9; James 2:9); "convict" (John 8:9); "tell one's fault" (Matthew 18:15); "reprove" (Luke 3:19; John 3:20; John 16:8; Ephes. 5:11,13; 2 Tim. 4:2); "rebuke" (1 Tim. 5:20; Titus 1:13; Titus 2:15; Hebrews 12:5; Jude 1:15; Rev. 3:19). c[world] Not only the Jews, but all men (John 3:16; 1 John 2:2).
1 John 4:6 (KJV) We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
Isaiah 29:10 (KJV) For the Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.
THE CONCRETE EVIDENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN A PERSON LIFE.
1 Cor. 13:4 (KJV) Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
Galatians 5:22 (KJV) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Eph 5:9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
Phi 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
A FAKE VERSIONS OF THE WORD OF GOD WHICH JUSTIFIED SLAVERY.
The only problem with the king James version is that the English is outdated from 1611. The spellings are not the kind of spelling we used today. However many of the modern version was translated to benefit slaves masters.
Col. 3:22 (KJV)Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:
Most of the other versions say ”Slaves” There is a different between a servant and a slave. The sublimely message in this is that slavery was justified. It was ok to take one man out of his natural habitat, dehumanized him, rape him, work him, and kill him for any thing. When he get his freedom we install negative self image to keep him down, and it was quite ok. This is message that some of theses new version is projecting.
A FAKE CHRISTIANS LIFE STYLE.
Micah 2:11 (KJV) If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.
Notes By F. Dakes “A spirit of falsehood and deceit, not the Holy Spirit (Micah 2:11). Other prophets have spoken of false prophets. In Ezekiel: "Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!" (Ezekiel 13:3). In Jeremiah: "The prophets prophesy lies ... I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart" (Jeremiah 14:14). These walked in the spirit, but not the Holy Spirit as the true prophets did. They constantly conversed with their own spirit and that of demons, predicting lies and falsehoods. Here they prophesied of wine and strong drink, because that was the chief thing on their minds and what they continually gave themselves to. They desired to please the rich men, to embolden them in their lives of self-indulgence, and to tell them that they would not be punished”
“They doubtless did say some good things when quoting God's promises to His people, but would not speak of the curses of God upon sin. This is the secret of success for false prophets even today. The natural man wants a god, and anything, which has a mere resemblance of the spiritual, will satisfy, for a time at least, even though it is deception”
HOW DOES A PERSON BECOME A CHRISTIANS?
How does a person become a Christian, and are sure that he/she is save? First the person must know that he/she is a sinner and need deliverance from the lord.
Romans 3:23 (KJV) for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Galatians 3:22 (KJV) But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
THE SINNER MUST BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A GOD.
Hebrews 11:6 NKJV But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
THE SINNER MUST BELIEVE THAT GOD IS READY TO FORGIVE HIM.
Isaiah 55:7 (KJV)Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
THE SINNER MUST BELIEVE THAT CHRIST DIED FOR HIM.
Romans 5:6 (KJV) For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
Romans 5:8 (KJV)But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
1 Cor. 15:3-8 (KJV) For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; [4] And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: [5] And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: [6] After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. [7] After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. [8] And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.
The sinner must believe that God can keep him save.
Ephes. 3:20 (KJV) Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
Jude 1:24 (KJV) Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
PERFECTING THE SAINTS IS A WORK OF GOD.
1 Peter 5:10 (KJV) But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.
THE SINNER MUST KNOW THAT ONLY JESUS CAN SAVE THEM.
Acts 4:12 (KJV) Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
THE SINNER MUST MAKE A DECISION TODAY.
Isaiah 1:18 (KJV) Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
2 Cor. 6:2 (KJV) (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
BOW YOUR HEAD AND PRAY THIS PRAYER.
Lord I am a sinner and need your salvation. Forgive all my sins. I accept your son Jesus as my savior today.
DROP ALL PRE-CONCEIVE IDEAS OF CHRISTIANITY.
Drop all preconceived ideas of Christianity because these conflict with the reality of Christianity. The lord will live the life through you day by day. You do not drop things from your life on your own. The spirit of God will walk you out of sins in his own time.
FIRST HUMBLING YOU.
Ephes. 2:8-9 (KJV)For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast.
If you stop sins and get holy before God’s timing you will begin to boast how it is your own magnetism got you so far, then you became a source of discouragement to others. Therefore, you are going to stuck upon a sin or two. The sin always getting the better of you. This will push you to always accept God’s grace, and to see your own frailness.
1 John 1:8 (KJV) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
TO CONTINUE GROWING IN GOD.
1 Peter 2:2 (KJV) As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
2 Peter 1:5-10 (NKJV) But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. 10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble.
All a baby need to do to grow is to feed. You will have to learn to feed yourself. Many pastors cannot feed the sheep. Continue visiting our website for free materials. Feel free to email us for additional resources.
FINDING OUT YOUR CALLING
When I was newly save, the believers always, ask me if I know the will of God for my life! I never really know what they were talking about. Every person that was saved had a mission and a gift. However, because you are just a babe in Christ you do not know any of these. As you go on with the lord his will for you will unfolds day bay day. Do not run off and make any big commitment. Your mate has to be tailor made for you by God. You are now a citizen of heaven. Heaven does not rule by democracy. You cannot serve God with democratic mind set.
WHAT YOU MUST DROP OFF.
Hebrews 12:1 (Living Bible) Since we have such a huge crowd of men of faith watching us from the grandstands, let us strip off anything that slows us down or holds us back, and especially those sins that wrap themselves so tightly around our feet and trip us up; and let us run with patience the particular race that God has set before us.
Ephes. 4:31 (Living Bible) Stop being mean, bad-tempered, and angry. Quarreling, harsh words, and dislike of others should have no place in your lives.
Col. 3:8 (Living Bible) but now is the time to cast off and throw away all these rotten garments of anger, hatred, cursing, and dirty language.
GET A GOOD BIBLE, FIND A GOOD CHURCH.
One of the best Bibles out there is the New King James Version. Dake’s annotated Bible is very good. Next, you need a living bible to make some thing simple.
Hebrews 10:25 (Living Bible) Let us not neglect our church meetings, as some people do, but encourage and warn each other, especially now that the day of his coming back again is drawing near.
DROP THE BAD HABITS.
Drop the smoking, even though we cannot prove it to be a sin. You are going to be sitting down beside other church going people; they do not want to be smelling the odor from smoking on you.
PROTECTING YOURSELF FROM BEING SPOILED BY MAN.
Col. 2:8 (KJV)Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Hebrews 13:9 (KJV) Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.
Seven Ways that People Can Spoil Christians:
1. Through philosophy (Col. 2:8)
2. Through vain deceit (Col. 2:4,8,18-19)
3. Through human traditions (Col. 2:8)
4. Through human religion and world principles contrary to the gospel (Col. 2:8,14-23; note, §Galatians 4:3)
5. Through circumcision (Col. 2:11-13; Acts 15:1; Romans 4:9-16; Galatians 5:1-11)
6. Through the law of Moses, demanding observance of the laws on meats, drinks, holy days, new moons, feasts, and sabbaths (Col. 2:14-17)
7. Through cults that puff up and imitate the gospel (Col. 2:18-23)
By all these means, unsuspecting souls are being carried off as plunder and booty by false teachers. The founders of false religions and human philosophies which pamper the flesh and give their victims elated feelings of importance make an appeal to them.
Christianity is loaded down with some false concept. Some little believe system, which are spread by false believers. One of such teaching is that you must “Look like Christians” How does Christians look? Genuine Christianity is not an external thing but of the heart and spirit.
Micah 6:8 (KJV)He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
When cults capture a newly converted Christians, the cult first job on that new believer is to close their mind. Preventing the new believer from reading any material from other churches. So that new believer will never get out of their trap.
YOUR HORMONE DOES NOT STOP WORKING WITH CHRISTIANITY.
Philip. 3:20-21 (KJV)For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: [21] Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
Romans 8:23 (KJV) And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
Our bodies were not save at conversion. The work of redemption took place in your spirit man. Our body will be redeemed at the return of our lord. We are still waiting for the redemption of our body. According to Philip 3:20-21 and Romans 8:23. You are still going to have urges. You have to present your body to the lord as a living sacrifice. Not dead one. Living sacrifice give trouble, you will have trouble keeping that body tied to the altar. However, as you and I grow in the lord what seem impossible will be quite possible.
