Any impure thoughts, no matter how familiar they are, are not your thoughts. They are the thoughts of demonic spirits mimicking the sinful nature which was present and ruled over you before your conversion to Christ! THE MOMENT YOU CONFESSED JESUS AS LORD, YOU BECAME A NEW CREATION! NOT JUST IN THEORY, BELOVED... ACTUALLY! In Truth! You, Christian who is reading this, are now...A BRAND NEW CREATION. OLD THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY! His Blood MAKES ALL THINGS NEW! The ONLY power the devil has left, is the ability to lie. THE BATTLE FROM THAT MOMENT FORWARD IS PURELY SPIRITUAL: For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. (Ephesians 6:12) And this is what Jesus did for us to ensure that we would ONLY WALK in TOTAL VICTORY: Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ. For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority. When you came to Christ, you were “circumcised,” but not by a physical procedure. Christ performed a spiritual circumcision—the cutting away of your sinful nature. For you were buried with Christ when you were baptized. And with him you were raised to new life because you trusted the mighty power of God, who raised Christ from the dead. You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins. He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross. (Colossians 2:8-15) The teaching that we must wrestle with our old sinful nature as long as we are on the planet, is not biblical truth! Its been cut away! Done away with! Buried with Christ and left there while we were resurrected with Him in the newness of His Life! SO FEW BELIEVERS WALK IN THE TOTAL VICTORY OF THE FINISHED WORK OF THE CROSS FOR A FEW SIMPLE REASONS: 1) The religious spirit has twisted the teaching of the Word of God to reduce the betrayal, torture, execution and resurrection of Jesus Christ...to LESS THAN ENOUGH FOR THE TOTAL VICTORY OF THE BLOOD BOUGHT BELIEVER OVER SIN, DEATH, and EVERY power of darkness! Not just when we get to Heaven, brothers and sisters..RIGHT NOW!! Your Kingdom come, Your will be done...on earth as it is in HEAVEN. Where is the Kingdom of Heaven? RIGHT HERE! RIGHT NOW! The Kingdom of God is present in EVERY Blood Bought believer in Jesus Christ! The devil knows this and he fights like crazy to keep this truth from being realized in and through the people of God! Think about this for a moment... What is Heaven like? Is there sin in Heaven? Is there ANY darkness in Heaven? Sickness? Lack? Fear? Defeat? Failure? - Rick Torres
