<p>Just want to share a very familiar passage, Romans 12:1-2. This passage I believe teaches us how to have the ability to test and approve His will for us - His good, pleasing, and perfect will. The basic requirement of course is experiencing the reality of God's mercy in our lives. After that experience, the ability to test and approve God's will for our lives depend on how we use our freedom in Christ. God wants us to use our freedom by deciding to do three things:</p>

<p>Just want to share a very familiar passage, Romans 12:1-2. This passage I believe teaches us how to have the ability to test and approve His will for us - His good, pleasing, and perfect will. The basic requirement of course is experiencing the reality of God's mercy in our lives. After that experience, the ability to test and approve God's will for our lives depend on how we use our freedom in Christ. God wants us to use our freedom by deciding to do three things:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1. To offer our bodies as living sacrifices. In the Old Testament, they offered dead sacrifices. But since Christ died once and for all for our sins and we also died with Him, we are now called to live for Jesus. And that new life we have in Jesus is lived by offering our bodies as living sacrifices. The apostle Paul said, this is our spiritual act of worship, meaning our life now in Christ in its entirety is worship.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>2. Non conformity to the pattern of the world. This world has a pattern. We are called not to conform to its pattern.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>3. Transformation of our being by the renewal of our mind. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Reflect on the meaning and the application of these three decisions you have as a woman of God set free by grace, I believe that the immediate result is that you will have the ability to test and approve the will of God for your life.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Hi Sharin!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am not sure if someone will ever reach a stage in this life that there will be no struggle anymore. The good thing with having a struggle is that we recognize that on our own, we are weak and we need the Lord always to give us strength.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Concerning God's plan for your life, I can only say three things:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>One, everything that happens both in your life and around you are under His sovereign control.</p>

<p>Hi Sharin!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am not sure if someone will ever reach a stage in this life that there will be no struggle anymore. The good thing with having a struggle is that we recognize that on our own, we are weak and we need the Lord always to give us strength.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Concerning God's plan for your life, I can only say three things:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>One, everything that happens both in your life and around you are under His sovereign control.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Two, He has given us the Bible for us to know Him and His will for faith and life. God wants us to obey His will. The sum of his will is revealed in the Old Testament through the Ten Commandments and summarized in the New Testament with the two great commandments of love: love God with our all and love our neighbor as ourselves. The Lord knows we cannot fully obey them on our own and that is why we need a Savior. By faith in Jesus, His obedience is our obedience. As long as we are not straying from living the life of love and depending on the Spirit of love for strength moment by moment to live that kind of life, God has given us freedom to choose and to enjoy our new life in Jesus. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>And finally, if you are looking for a detailed plan of God in your life, that I cannot give. All I know is God wants you to love Him above all, to live moment by moment with Him, and to find your ultimate delight and satisfaction in Him.</p>

What a wonderful step in your salvation, the enemy see's your progression in your faith as s threat to him so he is going to do his best, or worst in this respect to derail you in you walk with God.<br />
<br />
Just remember that when you speak the name of Jesus in a prayerful and respectful manner the enemy cannot stay, very often almost daily, if not daily I cast out the enemy in Jesus name and speak the name of Jesus into whatever circumstance I have, the enemy flee's from the name of Jesus!!<br />

<br />
And just remember one more thing, it might not be that your behavior has gotten worse but that you notice it more<br />
and that the Holy Spirit is convicting you where perhaps he may not of been noticed by you before, it might just be that your eyes and heart are directed more firmly towards God.<br />

<p>Sharin, congratulations on trusting Jesus and seeing him change your life. Praise God.</p>

<p>Sanctification is a process of learning to walk by faith and follow Jesus. It can be quite fantastic and amazing as you learn to follow and trust Jesus and you see the Spirit working in your life. Miraculous changes will occur!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Remember what Jesus said about the "wise man" who built his house on the Rock. He was the one who read the word and "did it". One of the most important lessons we all have to learn is daily reading the word. Regularly searching it out and frequently mining deep to understand. But, doing what we learn is as important as learning it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I will caution you against thinking that there is a "one time" fix for all things. This process of sanctification is like the battle for Canaan. We have to defeat mighty strongholds. The strongholds are those carnal and devlish things we have deeply rooted in our souls. The weapons we use to win are spiritual weapons.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Be like David and pursue the heart of God; do not be like Saul who saw miracles but quickly forgot to trust and obey the commands of God.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Remember that God gives the victory, not we ourselves. "Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit says the Lord of Hosts" (Zec 4:6)</p>
