PUTTING OFF THE OLD MAN

...Addressed to those, who after they have become Christians still contend with inner darkness. This is a word of commission to those who would receive the Holy Spirit and who minister to people who struggle with sin.

FOUR BASIC GROUNDS
In which inner evil tends to grow causing sin and failure;
DISTRACTION—ACCUSATION—RESENTMENT—BITTERNESS

This little booklet has touched and help change thousands of lives worldwide. We pray it will be helpful for you, also.

John 20:21-23  ...Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as My Father hath sent Me (literally, "just exactly as My Father hath sent Me), even so send I you. And when he had said this, He breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.

Romans 8:7...the carnal MIND is enmity against God.

THE CARNAL FRAME OF MIND... Part I

By studying the New Testament Passages containing the Greek word, phrónema (pronounced FRON-emah), I have found five bent and distorted frames of mind that rule in many of us. These roots of the works of the flesh remain in the lives of many believers. All of them result in damage to relationships. Worst of all, they hinder us in our relationship with the Lord.

... For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
Romans 8:5-7

Winning Out Over THE CARNAL FRAME...
Part II ...Breaking the Bondage of Sin

The closing days of this age will see an unleashing of sin’s power
as iniquity comes to its fullness.
When will we see all of sin’s bondage broken?
When will the works of the flesh lose their power in us?
When will the darkness be gone?

 ...For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. Romans 8:22,23

REMOVING STRONGHOLDS...
Part III ...In the Framework of the Inner Man

In II Corinthians 10:4,5 Paul names three points of conflict that, if not overcome, will weaken us in times of trouble. Many are liable to give in to the pressures of anti-Christ and reject the call of God’s Kingdom for the final days if we don't address these unresolved conflicts within many of us.

...For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds; casting down  imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Chris. tII Corinthians 10:4,5
