Ever ask yourself the question: What is blocking my blessing? What is stopping me from living in power and purpose?
The enemy’s only mission is to separate you from God, and he accomplishes this every time you struggle with sin. His goal is to keep you in strife so you forget that the Lord Jesus Christ lived His life on earth, shed His precious blood to defeat the devil in the pit of hell and rose again in glorious victory for you!
The devil tempts you to struggle with sin so you are distracted from the one truth that crushes the enemy: Jesus whipped sin once and for all on your behalf so you wouldn’t have to. Hebrews 9:26 says that through His work of redemption Jesus ‘appeared once for all…to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.”
You don’t want to get back in the ring with an opponent who has already been defeated. The count is over and you’ve been declared victor through Him. God meant it when He said: “Sin shall not have dominion over you,” (Romans 6:14).
Sin Stops the Anointing
Sin blocks God’s blessing from flowing freely in your life. In fact, sin is a manifestation of the antichrist, here’s why:
The word Christ is the Greek word for anointing. The anointing is God’s burden-removing, yoke- destroying power that came to mankind through Jesus. It is still flowing on the earth today through His Body which is the Church.
The devil is the anti-Christ. He desires to put people in bondage – and so he’s against the anointing. He’s determined to stop its operation in the earth because it sets people free.
Activate a Higher Law
The devil works so hard to get believers into sin. His goal is to stop the anointing and he knows sin will do the job. But you can activate the sin-dominating power of God in your life. All you need is some faith. And since faith comes by hearing the Word of God, let’s look at what it has to say about this issue.
In Romans 7:24-25 and 8:1-4 the Apostle Paul describes conditions where the flesh is repeatedly stumbling into sin, and the natural question is: If I’ve already been made free from the law of sin and death by the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, why didn’t I automatically start living sin-free the moment I got saved?
Because the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus only works when it is put to work!
As a natural example, imagine trying to overcome gravity in your own power – you’ll fail, every time. But if you learn how to activate a higher law – the law of lift – you can supercede the law of gravity and fly. Likewise, if you’ll learn how to use your faith to activate the law of the Spirit of life, you can overcome the law of sin.
Know Your Purpose
“How do I excerise the law of divine life?”
In the natural realm, certain principles are applied to put the law of lift into operation. In the same way, there are principles that if applied will always activate the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. The first of those is the principle of faith. Acts 16:31 says, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” So, the first step is to believe in the saving power of Jesus – not just in His power to save you from hell in the hereafter but in His power to save you from sin in the here-and-now.
You must dare to believe that despite all previous evidence to the contrary, what the Bible says is true: Sin has no more dominion over you! You must dare to believe that through Jesus you have already been made victorious over it.
This is the way we ought to be living! Free from sin, Jesus has called us to a higher way of life. Riding high on the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, you won’t be struggling with sin anymore. You’ll be abiding in Jesus – flying free!
