Dying to the Old Man,
I just read a resent blog about dying to the old nature and living in my new God given nature. One person asked, "How do I do that on a day to day basis?" That is a good question and would take a book to answer. but I am going to write the daily wisdom, so that we can all overcome the old way of living and get started on the new way in Christ and what He has to offer.
Gal. chapters 5 & 6 give a good description of what the old nature does and then explains what the new nature should look like in our daily life. Each one of us who has accepted Jesus into our life and asked Him to be our savior and have been baptized with water and Holy Spirit has started the process of a new life in Christ. But, we still have old habits to stop and new ones to start. How do we get rid of the bad and start learning the new? The first step, is to daily ask Holy Spirit to show you Jesus in everyday life. Set aside time each day to read the word, teachings by Godly leaders and spend time in prayer. Worship is also necessary. Worship helps us to thank and praise God for who He is and fills our hearts and minds with sounds and words that our minds will dwell on all through our day. Music can heal or harm. The right music, will heal your wounds. God is also enthroned upon our praises. So He is very near, when we solely focus on Him and His attributes.
Study the Bible. Knowledge and wisdom of the ways of kingdom life is essential. Someone who says they are a believer, but they don't read, will have a hard time walking in his new man and have  the Word of God etched in their heart.
New friends are also important. If you truly want to live a new life, you need to let go of all the old. Pray about it, God will guide you. Some say, well you will influence them, and lead them to salvation. If you are a strong person and have soaked in Gods ways, than yes, witness to them. But the word says, not to hang around those who ways are contrary to His.
So study, worship, prayer and trust God. It won't be easy, but it will be worth it.
Just put one foot in front of the other, and the Holy Spirit will lead and guide you. Just keep pressing in!

Prayer:
Holy Spirit, I want the new man inside me. I want a new life, free from all past addictions, hurts, pains and mistakes. Fill me anew with Your power so, I may say yes to You and no to the old man. I want to be alive in Christ and dead to my old habits. I give You permission to invade my life, Mold me and make me like You. I ask for a spirit of wisdom, revelation, understanding, counsel, might and the spirit of the fear of the Lord, I need these to be the overcomer I am in You! Thank You Jesus, for this new life. amen

The Wisdom of Intercession

What is the difference between prayer and intercession?  Prayer is a solemn request for help or expression of  thanks addressed to God. Intercession is praying on behalf of another person, group of people or nation. We were made to intercede on the behalf of others. When we do it gets our eyes off of ourselves and helps us look to the needs of others and in this God fulfills our needs as well as the needs of others. We interceded on behalf  those who can't pray for themselves because they don't see the need or are in the middle of a very stressful situation and need to be lifted up. We all need help now and again and become weary in the middle of a battle and when someone else steps in on our behalf, that, a lot of times is the key to breakthrough needed.

 

As we press in, on behalf of another we move out of our flesh way of intercession, into the Spirit and He helps us pray as we should. He gives us spiritual wisdom and spiritual thoughts. This takes us deeper, into the realm of the Spirit and we can see what Gods heart is for the situation and pray accordingly.  We then become stewards of the mysteries of God. With these mysteries we can then declare them into the heavens and cause heavens to open and breakthrough to come. We do not engage in physical battles but spiritual ones. These are won by prayers, declarations and intercessions. Ephesians 6:18,19....with all prayer and petition pray at all in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints (intercession), and pray on my behalf that utterance may be given me in the opening of  mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel.... What this is teaching us is that we are to pray on behalf of others so that God will intervene and give them wisdom to overcome the evil one, giving them strength to go forward with boldness preaching and declaring Gods word.

 

Prayer for today:

Lord Jesus, give me a Spirit of wisdom, revelation and understanding when it comes to intercession and prayer. Bring to my mind those who I need to be interceding for and give us all boldness to proclaim your word to those who need to hear from You. I ask for understanding on behalf of others who need You, so that I will pray as I ought to. amen.
