Paul tells us that he was always this...once he learned to submit to the Grace of God. = "Christ always Gives me the VICTORY".
=Submitting to God's Grace.
And, the powerless Christian, the legalist, the one who is worried about losing salvation, who is trying to keep themselves saved, has not submitted to the Grace of God.
Born again? Yes.
Going to heaven? Yes.
Submitted to God's Grace, NO.
And that is why they sin and confess and this is their entire Christian Life.
See the Things of God basically work opposite of how we THINK they should be.
And its that mind, that is not yet renewed.
So, we much change this mind, this "natural mind" and align it with God's perspective.
We must stop trying to be accepted by God, and learn to believe that we are always "made righteous" by the precious blood of Jesus that never ceases to keep all the born again as Clean and as PURE as God's very own Righteousness.
When you exist there, in your believing faith, then you have entered the renewed mind and found : "Christ always gives me the Victory".
See, victory over self, deception, and the devil, is not found by trying to do it.
Its found ONLY by existing as walking in the Spirit, which is to have a renewed mind.
We do not find our power in God, by trying to be powerful.
We find it, by resting in God's Grace that becomes our renewed mind and our : "Christ always gives me the Victory".
Believer, to have THE Victory, is to be able to withstand the devil, and to be able to live holy.
That's the victory.
Paul said that "Christ always >gives< him the Victory".
This is because there is none found when Paul tried to keep the law, or tried to resist his carnality, by WILLPOWER.
So, how do you get that power, that is "always the victory", that Paul says is yours?
= You submit to God's GRACE.
See, most believers, are not submitted, they are just redeemed.
They are blood bought, but the are not mind renewed.
And here is the thing.....to submit to God, is not your idea of it.
And the reason you sin and confess, is because you are trying to self manufacture deliverance, vs, walking in the renewed mind, where deliverance is your God given GRACE.
See, you think this means to be willing and obedient to go and do.
You think this means that you are to keep the Law, and commandments, and try harder to be better.
But that is not what this particular Spiritual "submition" means.
This "submit", means to stop being your natural mind, regarding your faith, and become transformed by the renewing of your mind, into the Spiritual mind.
THAT is how you "submit", that gains the power to overcome, that is : "Christ ALWAYS GIVES..... me the Victory".
See who is giving it?
Its not your effort, and that is why Christ tells you that "apart from me you can do nothing".
And this "nothing" is the fruit of sinning and confessing as someone's discipleship.
See, when you are not overcoming your carnality, and your fear, and your SELF.... then you are not submitted.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Every day you face, is the "evil day".
And you overcome this, not by willp0wer, but by being given the VICTORY over it.
You find that Victory, when you submit to God's Grace and stay submitted.
And what is the submission?
its this, reader.
You have to lose all faith in yourself to try to stay saved, by trying to keep yourself saved.
See, most believers are in THAT MIND.
They are...>"here is what im doing to keep my salvation, and to keep myself in fellowship with God.".
And that mind is not the right mind. That mind is the un-renewed mind.
That faith, is broken, as it does not TRUST CHRIST to keep you saved.
That wrong mind, does not believe this VERSE : Philippians 1:6
So, When you are in that mind, you are not submitted to TRUTH, and so this Knowledge can not set you free.
Jude says that we the born again, are to : "contend for the REAL Faith".
This means you are to learn what that is, and then press into it, and cling to it, and hold fast, and never return to any type of faith in faith, or faith in self, to try stay saved, or to try to please God.
Reader, all believers start with ...>"God saved me'....and then nearly all quickly turn from this submission to that real faith that is the Truth, and enter into....."here is what I DO, to stay saved".. "here is what I DO to make sure i go to heaven".
See that?
That is a lack of submission to God's Grace, and an entire submission to SELF Righteousness.
Self righteousness, is to be in the mind set that is found trying to make yourself right with God, or to try to keep yourself right with God.
For example, the wrong mind thinks....>"if i confess my sin, then i am back in fellowship with God".
Whereas, The right Mind understands deeply...>"i am the Righteousness of God in Christ".. "I am "ONE WITH GOD, In Christ"... "As Jesus IS, so are the born again in this World".. "i am MADE RIGHTEOUS".. "i always have Eternal Life, because JESUS, who IS Eternal life is IN ME, and i am IN CHRIST".
Now, what is self righteousness, that is THE enemy of the Cross?
Its this... Its trying to "make self RIGHT"......"Self ..Righteousness".
See that?
When you are in THAT MIND, then your mind is carnal and the carnal mind is actually against God.
So, how can He then provide you with His Power, when you only have faith in SELF Righteousness.?
So When you leave that mind and SUBMIT to God's GRACE, to this truth, which is "THE Faith", that Jude is describing, then you have found the place of REAL FAITH< and NOW Christ can give you "the Victory", over all that is against you every "evil day."
Notice that Peter says.......in 1Peter 9:5... that you "resist the devil" "in the Faith".
See that?
Not by might, or by will power, but by being " IN THE FATIH."
Now let me explain that to you.
When you are in THE Faith, submitted to only believing that God has made you righteous and keeps you righteous,... Philippians 1:6... .then that FAITH becomes your POWER over the world, the flesh, and the devil.
That is the renewed mind.
That is how you "abide IN the Vine", vs being "apart from me, you can do nothing".
See it?
Here is how it works, reader....
If the Devil can deceive you out of real faith, and into SELF FAITH, which is try try to stay saved, proven by the fact that you are not trusting in CHRIST ALONE to keep you saved, then you are powerless, as you have no real faith.
You can then be destroyed by the destroyer, who looks around not for unbelievers, as they already belong to him, but he looks for the faith failed. This is the person who has not submitted to God's righteousness as their renewed mind, and are instead trying to work at salvation, by self righteousness.
So, when you are that mind, you have no real FAITH , as Peter is describing, so you are basically naked and defenseless and the "wiles of the devil" will drown you and you can't stop it.
He'll keep harming you, if you don't learn how to resist Him properly, by being in the "Real Faith", where this is found : "Christ always gives me the VICTORY">
So, get your mind of faith correct, and you have submitted to God's Grace.
Then God brings the armor and the power that sustains your VICTORY, every day.
This is how you become "perfected" and exist as "the fullness of the Stature Of Christ".
