DAY 3 OF 3

Letting The Old Man Die. 

“And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.” Mark‬ ‭2:22‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Choose to let your old man die. Let Christ lead you. Let Christ heal you. Let Christ give you a new heart. Let the old man die. Let the old way of doing things go. Let His Word cultivate the ground of your heart. Choose to pattern your life after His Word. Psalms‬ ‭119:105‬ ‭KJV‬‬ declares, “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” Let God’s Word direct your life and every aspect of it. 

Let God’s Word wash and direct your thoughts. Let God’s Word cultivate, lead, and regulate every aspect of your heart. Philippians‬ ‭2:5‬ ‭KJV‬‬ declares, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:” Philippians‬ ‭2:5‬ ‭AMPC‬‬ declares, ‭‭“Let this same attitude and purpose and [humble] mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus: [Let Him be your example in humility:]” 

Pattern yourself after Christ. Let His Word pattern your life. “This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success.” Joshua‬ ‭1:8‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

If you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, or if you have fallen away from Him, simply say this prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, in the Name of Jesus, I repent of my sin. I turn to You. Father, I receive Your Son, Jesus Christ, as my Lord and Savior. I believe that Jesus Christ died and rose just for me. 

I believe that His Blood washes me and cleanses me from all unrighteousness. Father, in You, I am set free. Father, through the Blood of your Son, Jesus Christ my past is history and my future is bright. 

Father, In You, I am made new. Father, in You, I am complete. Father, in You, I am made whole. Father, in You, I am restored. Father, I surrender every area of my life to You now and forever. In Jesus Name. Amen.
