Dealing with sin through the power of the Holy Spirit!

“He who is in me is greater than he who is in the world.” 1 John 4:4

Your relationship with Jesus is defined by sin!

Sin is the bottleneck in dealing with God. And, it never goes away. The Holy Spirit examines all your thoughts, words, and decisions to determine if you are operating with the motives of Jesus. 

There is both conscious and unconscious sin. As a believer, you are aware of conscious sin as the Holy Spirit convicts you of what is not consistent in your life with the values of Jesus. 

Then it is just a matter of praying to Jesus to forgive you and pour His blood over you. And, you must turn away from the darkness and live in the light of Christ. You can do this by yielding to the Holy Spirit who lives in all believers.

Unconscious sin is an entirely different situation. This is because you were born with an inner nature to defy the ways of God.

You and I are self driven people and it takes many years for the Holy Spirit to transform you into the character of Jesus. 

Jesus accomplishes this by engineering trials in your life. They cause pain and suffering but work to strengthen your faith and fill you with the righteousness of God. 

There is also the effect of Satan on your life. Last night in a vivid and graphic dream from God I saw how Satan creates a stronghold over a human being.

You open a door for a demon to enter and take control of your life.

This happens when you cross the line and allow an evil thought or desire to be conceived as sin within your heart.

This action will cause you to come under the control of a demon who wants to destroy and kill.

The afflicted one has no capability to stop the demonic behaviors. 

The stronghold cannot be broken by persuasion or religious methods.

The only solution for helping someone with a stronghold is to pray and seek intercession from Jesus to set the person free. 

The person in bondage must hit “rock bottom” and be willing to reach out for help. At this point, he can be delivered and set free through spiritually mature believers working under the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

You and I can deal with sin by inviting the Holy Spirit to have authority over our life and living in obedience to the voice of God.

All Jesus asks of you is to be willing to change and have an open heart to Him!
