DAY 2 OF 3

Death And Life. 

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” Proverbs‬ ‭18:21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Death and life, success and defeat are in the power of your tongue. God’s Word is life. Life in Christ will set you free from the bondages and entanglements of sin. Romans‬ ‭8:2-3‬ ‭KJV‬‬ declares, “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:” 

Christ died for you. He died so that you might be free. Be set free through Jesus Christ. He is the only way to freedom. Freedom is yours, when you surrender to Christ. Success is yours, when you surrender to Him. Choose to speak God’s Word and be set free from every bondage and entanglement.

‭‭Romans‬ ‭6:23‬ ‭KJV‬‬ declares, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” When you are in Christ, the bondage of the past does not have to keep you enslaved to its grip. The wages, or the payment, of sin is death. The continued practice of sin is death. You have a choice. You can either stay enslaved to the bondage of sin or you can submit to Christ and be set free. 

Freedom is a choice. Sin does not have to rule over you. Lust does not have to rule over you. When you are in Christ, He frees you from the mistakes, bondages, and the imprisonment of the past. Let Christ set you free. “I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:” ‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭30:19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

About this Plan

The Carnal Mind

Share this Devotional as Vance K. Jackson leads readers in this powerful wisdom-filled message. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. When you are carnally minded, your heart is searching for something that lust cannot fill. When you are “flesh-minded” or carnally minded, you’re selfishly focusing on satisfying the flesh. Let God crush your fleshly and selfish ambition and desires.
