40 Days of Prayer-Day 26
Through the new covenant God wrote His laws on the hearts of every individual. Heb. 8:8-10, 2 Cor. 3:3. However, God knew the struggle the Christian would have between obeying the law of sin and the law of God, especially now that it was written into his very being. The Apostle Paul described it as wanting to do right but not doing it, and not wanting to do wrong but doing it anyway. Rom 7:14-25. The unbeliever has no struggle. He simply wants to do wrong and does wrong. But because of the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the Christian is now faced with this struggle day after day, month after month, year after year. Who will rescue us from this law of sin and death? Deliverance is through Christ living in us (through the baptism of the Holy Spirit.) Rom 7:24-25. There is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus who walk after the Spirit and not after the flesh. Rom 8:1-4.  Christ living in us sets us free from this constant struggle between the flesh and the spirit, evil and good. The righteous requirements of the law will be fulfilled in us when we have Jesus living in us through the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Rom. 8:4. PRAYER: Father baptize us with your Holy Spirit, and bring revival into our lives and churches. Lead us to a genuine experience with Christ abiding in us for victory over sin. Give us the wisdom and understanding we need to fully love you and open our eyes to see our sinfulness and your great mercy and forgiveness and your great power that is available to us to overcome every weapon of the enemy.
