The Power Of The Holy Spirit

 As born again believers, the old life that we received from Adam, through our earthly parents, was crucified with Christ on the Cross of Calvary and must remain nailed to the Cross if we are to stand fast in our new-life-in-Christ, walk in newness of life, and be led by the Holy Spirit of God. Christ identified with our sinfulness so that His death would become our death; death to all that belonged to our past heritage in order that His resurrected life would become our new-life-in-Christ. As born again believers, we receive a new nature that needs to be nurtured and fed throughout our earthly Christian walk, and it is only accomplished in The Power Of The Holy Spirit.
 Before we received the freedom to walk in spirit and truth through faith in Christ, we were in bondage to a law that we could not keep and a fleshly nature that we could not control. But the Law was a schoolmaster to bring us to Christ so that all that is of the fleshly 'self' could be put-away in Him and remain nailed to the Cross. And that means all that is of Christ may manifest itself in our lives as we walk in spirit and truth and are led, moment by moment, by the Holy Spirit of God.
But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You that we have been saved by grace through faith in Christ and are no longer under the Law, but under grace. Thank You that our old, fallen nature was crucified with Christ on the Cross. We pray that it will remain nailed to the Tree so that we may be led by the Spirit of God and walk in newness of life. Keep us, we pray, from fleshly inclinations and legalistic practices that place us back in bondage to our old sin nature and the works of the flesh. Help us to live and move and have our beings in You so that we can say as Paul did, "The life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, Who loved me, and gave himself for me." In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
