Take the sins you carry, and give them to HIM at the foot of the cross. Lay them all right there at HIS feet, HE who shares with us our pains, He who shared with us our desire to live Holy, He who shares our humanity. Lay them down my brother. [/FONT]
[FONT=Book Antiqua, serif] Now get on the cross with HIM, and die HIS death. He already took the pain, He already took the thirst, He already took it all and paid the price, now your faith in HIM will be refined just as gold is refined in the fire. Oh ye of little faith, HE told the people, you cannot do this in yourself, in the old man. You can only do this in the new man, in the Risen Savior. [/FONT]
[FONT=Book Antiqua, serif] It already happened, you were called, set apart, and chosen. "For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren." Romans 8:29 [/FONT]
[FONT=Book Antiqua, serif] In God's reckoning of time the you of the future already did this. Go get the person who you are in your future, you the called one's of God, do this in Christ Jesus because through HIM all power is given, and become over-comers of this world in HIM. [/FONT]
[FONT=Book Antiqua, serif] He did the work, you do not have any work to do, just have faith in the finished work, and know that your burden is gone, carried by Him.. For Paul and for me, it helps to say I am crucified with Christ. You do not literally die, but it is a death of spiritual nature. Picture the cross and the death in your minds eye if need be, and give it all to HIM. [/FONT]
[FONT=Book Antiqua, serif] You don't need to reach for that pride, you don't need to reach for that wealth to comfort you, you don't need the addictive habit. Put it all on HIM, and be free from your sin. Be free from any and all power that sin had over you, and then rise to new life in Christ Jesus. [/FONT]
[FONT=Book Antiqua, serif] Experience the spiritual death, so that you may partake in the new life with HIM. Walk in the garden with HIM who carries your load, talk with the God of all creation anytime day or night. Have every need met without need of asking. Be ye therefore Children of God. Walk in the Light. Shun the Darkness of your adversary. Be ye Holy even as He is Holy. [/FONT]
[FONT=Book Antiqua, serif] Its not you doing it, its all HIM. This is the meaning of savior. This is the meaning of life. This is going to be your life more abundant. [/FONT]
[FONT=Book Antiqua, serif] Did you falter? That is okay, because HE promises forgiveness, start again. I am crucified with Christ. Please Lord forgive me, I tried to do this in and of myself. I forgot how badly I couldn't do this in myself for a minute, and I had doubt, I lacked faith in your completed work. Please Lord I believe, now help my unbelief. Take it to Jesus on the cross again.

Uh, Chris, one word, bro---BREVITY! Dude, look into it!
If it helped you guys just share it with others. This is important for us to know - and practice.
sunshineforJesus = you too.
And thank you for the compliment, but I cannot take the credit. This was the how the Holy Spirit showed it to me. All I did was pass it on..
you pass it on too. Its free to us... pass it on freely and in love. BUT.. no beating people up over it! If someone doesn't want it.. then okay.. they have the right to say no..
but personally... now that I am there.. I would not trade this for all the riches of the earth. I would become a happy bum if it meant keeping this!
Yet..HE doesn't ask it... just moderation in all things, and love first.
