VICTORY Too many Christians are depending upon their own abilities, and by doing so, they are living a miserable, Christian experience. They are failing, and much to their chagrin, not understanding why they are failing. Paul would say it best, “For I know that in me (that is, in my fl esh,) dwells no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I fi nd not” (Rom. 7:18). Paul was simply stating that I want to do that which is right, but I cannot seem to stop myself from failing. Why? Because he was trying to live for God by means of the “fl esh,” and many Christians are doing the same thing today, trying to live for God by means of dependence upon self.
