Made Whole #3 - Undisciplined LivesНамуна

INTROSPECTION:

Changing an undisciplined lifestyle to rid yourself from guilt or shame by brute strength and willpower will only lead to frustration and disappointment. This has never been God's plan or design. Breaking undisciplined lifestyles/sinful habits starts with surrendering your entire being to the truth discovered in the depth and breath of God's love for you. The word of God is light, and when we receive the word (entering our heart), it extinguishes darkness. Jesus, the light, has bought us, and with it comes:

Wisdom—insight into God’s intentions concerning you;
Righteousness—a new identity of innocence;
Holiness—the display of this new life;
Redemption—restoration from brokenness.

NEXT MOVE:

Think on the scriptures above. Take a moment to become aware of your NEW  identity in Christ. Reflect on the knowledge of the truth about you. Think about what actually happened to you at the cross, and surrender to that truth. Write down truth statements about The New YOU. i.e. [Name], you are now innocent! [Name], you are free from ……! [Name] you are no longer broken or helpless! [Name] you are dead to sin, alive to Christ.
