: How the curse of the sin principle tries to control and operate in a Christian’s life:

PART ONE

Over the years it has amazed me how the born again body of Christ has in their endeavor to walk a holy life following Jesus; been for ever on the milk of God’s word and have never grown up to understand that anything not done by love is useless and unproductive as to walking in the kingdom of God with great freedom of expression and thankfulness that God intended because; He sent His son Jesus to the cross for our sinful nature and the curse that we were born with was broken off of us.

It was always God’s plan for his children to mature and become a mighty army working in harmony to do the works of Jesus in their particular arenas of life with the anointing that they received that constantly abides forever with in them. This sin principle that we will be talking about is a spiritual sickness which Jesus died for at the cross that stays alive in all Christians because of the way they are interpreting scripture because; they are not co-operating with the Holy Ghost’s leadings. This sin principle can only be driven out by God’s holding power of love and by us presenting ourselves to God by the renewing of our mind by the continually washing of the water of the word of God in our souls. However, it must be by the reasoning of the Holy Ghost who lives in us.

A Christian that is not disciplined in meditating on the word of God day and night is an ignorant Christian and this sin principle is running ramped in their heart and soul. There can not be a more devastating thing that can happen to a child of God when this is going on because; it robs them in functioning in the inheritance they received from God the day they were born again. All of God’s characteristics and the very life of God are housed in our being.

Unless the Holy Ghost is giving us a vision of who we are in Christ and what God has in store for those who diligently seek him; we will not have the hunger to reach the very heights of Jesus our brother’s own perfection with the passion we need to accomplish it.

This vision by God is what keeps us focused on God’s plan for our lives and we can experience the jealous love that He has for us. We must have this vision deep with in our understanding and then only the Holy Ghost can empower us to bring it to pass. Over the years of working out my salvation; I have many times asked God what I have to do, only to have Him remind me “do nothing but, let me love on you. I don’t need your help.”

This sin principle is a ravaging sickness of the soul as cancer is a ravaging sickness of the body and it must be treated with a deep discernment and total focus of why and how this sickness stops us from becoming whole in our body, soul and spirit. If the body of Christ is going to grow to their full potential, they must have a passionate focus and serious concern for their own maturity and the maturity of others. With out this attitude the show goes on as usual.

John the Apostles tells us in John 3:10 that as our soul prospers; so shall we prosper in all areas. Our souls represent our mind, will and emotions. This is the physical make up of our identity and the nature we were born with when we came out of our mother’s womb. Man was born with a curse which is a (malevolent appeal from a supernatural being to do harm and rob God’s children in all areas of their lives.)

It does this by, keeping us in some way guilt ridden and stops our prayers from being answered because; we are constantly asking amiss and not according to God’s priorities. This curse makes a person come into the world with a attitude of I will not obey any authority and it is only as they become born again from above that they even have the ability in God to be set free from the sin principal that they were born with. We must understand how to stay in God’s holding power and this foundation must be in place in the believer if; they are going to allow the Holy Ghost the freedom to show them how to feel at home and operate in the kingdom of God.

Paul the Apostle talks about this sin principle in the book of Roman chapter seven when he tells us how he was in bondage to it. We will define his feelings in Roman 7:5-25 when he says. When we were living in the flesh (mere physical lives), the sinful passions that were awakened and aroused up by what the Law which makes sin; were constantly operating in our natural powers (in our bodily organs, in the sensitive appetites and wills of the flesh), so that we bore fruit for death. But now we are discharged from the Law and have terminated all intercourse with it, having died to what once restrained and held us captive. So now we serve not under obedience to the old code of written regulations, but [under obedience to the promptings] of the Spirit in newness of life. Now then; what conclusion do we come to? Is the Law identical with sin? Certainly not! Nevertheless, if it had not been for the Law, I should not have recognized sin or have known its meaning. [For instance] I would not have known about covetousness [would have had no consciousness of sin or sense of guilt] if the Law that repeatedly said, you shall not covet and have an evil desire for one thing and another. But sin, finding opportunity in the commandment to express itself, got a hold on me and aroused and stimulated all kinds of forbidden desires lust, covetousness.

For without the Law sin is dead [the sense of it is inactive and a lifeless thing]. Once I was alive, but quite apart from and unconscious of the Law. But when the commandment came, sin lived again and I died (was sentenced by the Law to death). And the very legal ordinance which was designed and intended to bring life actually proved to mean to me death. For sin, seizing the opportunity and getting a hold on me [by taking its incentive] from the commandment, beguiled and entrapped and cheated me, and using it [as a weapon], killed me.

The Law therefore is holy and [each] commandment is holy and just and good. Did that which is good then prove fatal [bringing death] to me? Certainly not! It was the sin principle working death in me by using this good thing as a weapon, in order that through the commandment sin might be shown up clearly to be sin that the extreme malignity and immeasurable sinfulness of sin might plainly appear. We know that the Law is spiritual; but I am a creature of the flesh [carnal, unspiritual], having been sold into slavery under the control of sin principle.

For I do not understand my own actions [I am baffled, bewildered. I do not practice or accomplish what I wish, but I do the very thing that I loathe [which my moral instinct condemns]. Now if I do [habitually] what is contrary to my desire, [that means that] I acknowledge and agree that the Law is good (morally excellent) and that I take sides with it. However, it is no longer I who do the deed, but the sin principle which is at home in me and has possession of me. For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot perform it. I have the intention and urge to do what is right, but no power to carry it out. For I fail to practice the good deeds I desire to do, but the evil deeds that I do not desire to do are what I am ever doing.

Now if I do what I do not desire to do, it is no longer I doing it [it is not myself that acts], but the sin principle which dwells within me [fixed and operating in my soul]. So I find it to be a law (rule of action of my being) that when I want to do what is right and good, evil is ever present with me and I am subject to its insistent demands. For I endorse and delight in the Law of God in my inmost self with my new nature. But I discern in my bodily members [in the sensitive appetites and wills of the flesh] a different law (rule of action) at war against the law of my mind (my reason) and making me a prisoner to the law of sin that dwells in my bodily organs [in the sensitive appetites and wills of the flesh].

O unhappy and pitiable and wretched man that I am! Who will release and deliver me from [the shackles of] this body of death? O thank God; He will through Jesus Christ (the Anointed One) our Lord! So then indeed I, of myself with the mind and heart, serve the Law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.”

Let’s explain this from working backwards through these verses from what Paul was saying. Can you relate and be honest with your feelings that you might be feeling as he did here. What we have here is a young born again believer endeavoring in his passion to obey the Holy Spirits promptings. However, he was so focused on his failures and inadequacies that he had a loathing for himself. The word wretched in the Greek means, caring a weight around in our minds and a desire to be set free from a life style of guilt and lack of fulfillment in some shape or form.

Paul is explaining that he was seeking a understanding from God to give him a revelation of how God intended to create a scenario that would lead Him to walk in obedience because; only Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith. He explains this by telling us that God gave us the Ten Commandments which made us become aware when we would break them. Before the law was given; we had no awareness of breaking laws. In our make up when we break a law we feel that we have some type of punishment coming to us and, we run for cover. That‘s what we call (Living in denial)

Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden when they for the first time realized that they violated God’s warning to not eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil; became enslaved to the sin principle. The curse we were born with was not by Adam and Eve’s disobedience from eating from this tree but, by what happened to their nature that captured them in their make up and put them in bondage to the curse by eating from the tree. The Tree of Life which was also in the Garden was God Himself and all God wanted them to eat from; which had them have a whirl wind relationship by God weaving His Spirit in and out of them at His will. Adam and Eve after becoming contaminated focused on their shame and nakedness rather then on God showing up for fellowship.

They became self conscience rather then God conscience.

Scripture tells us that when we lift the Lord up, He will draw all of mankind to Himself. The initial lifting up experience was when we became conscious of the fact that Jesus was lifted up on the cross for our sin nature and when we accepted Him into our lives this curse was lifted from our soul because scripture tells us that; anyone who is nailed to a tree and dies for mankind; is cursed and the curse dies with Him. Just as Jesus died and the curse died so did the curse that was on us dies too as we become born again.

Paul went through a process of sorting out his feelings with the Holy Ghost giving him revelation of his bondage and once he recognized how the sin principle was at work keeping him locked up; he surrendered and let the Holy Ghost empower him to live the Christian life. Let’s again quote what he said as God was trying to deliver Him from the sin principle that had him imprisoned in his own being.

He said. Now if I do what I do not desire to do, it is no longer I doing it [it is not myself that acts], but the sin [principle] which dwells within me [fixed and operating in my soul]. So I find it to be a law (rule of action of my being) that when I want to do what is right and good, evil is ever present with me and I am subject to its insistent demands. For I endorse and delight in the Law of God in my inmost self [with my new nature]. But I discern in my bodily members [in the sensitive appetites and wills of the flesh] a different law (rule of action) at war against the law of my mind (my reason) and making me a (prisoner) to the law of sin that dwells in my bodily organs [in the sensitive appetites and wills of the flesh].

If I haven’t made this perfectly clear, let me be emphatic when I say that; this curse is demonic in nature and diseases our soul which causes us to not prosper and be in health, body, soul and spirit. It has become obvious to me after the many trials and hours of meditating on the word day and night that; it took God’s patience and loving kindness to persuade me as he persuaded Paul that I wasn’t the one wanting to break God’s laws, but a evil entity working inside me that I could not recognize; which had control of my will and I had no power to break free and follow the Holy Ghost’s leading.

Now once Paul recognized his condition; God gave him the revelation that he states at the end of these verse’s when he says, O unhappy and pitiable and wretched man that I am! Who will release and deliver me from [the shackles of] this body of death? O thank God He will through Jesus Christ (the Anointed One) our Lord!

Once we are persuaded by God that we do not want to break God’s laws on purpose and recognize that we are a cripple and a bruised child of God and that we are not being condemned by Him, we will not hide from the Holy Ghost in denial but; we will run to the Lord for deliverance and strength. I have come to the conclusion through countless battles in my mind meditating on the word of God day and night and the experiences that I have had with people and the Holy Ghost over these past forty some years that, the majority of the born again church of today even though they are God’s children and have a love for Him; are living under the curse because the good news of the gospel and Lord being lifted up is not taking place in the different assemblies.

As long as we have pulpits across the world not telling God kids what the difference is between being a sinner or a saint, the body of Christ will stay palsied and inept in their ability to walk with great freedom in the kingdom of God. No where in the New Testament does Paul or Peter address the different churches as sinners. He addresses them as saints who are in one place or another in the process of being perfected by the Holy Ghost. It was a disappointment to me many years ago when God made me realize that I was my worst enemy but, He quickly showed me His favor and compassion when He began to love on me because; I let Him. We must as born again children of God allow the Holy Ghost to continually clean our conscience from dead works of unrighteous endeavors because; this is what keeps the sin principle alive and flourishing with in us. This is what happens when we do not believe in the once saved permanency of the miracle that took place the day we accepted Christ as our Savior.

In Heb 9:25-28 Paul the Apostle states this. “Jesus didn’t enter the heavenly sanctuary to offer Himself regularly again and again, as the high priest enters the Holy of Holies every year with out offering his own blood. For then would He would have often had to suffer over and over again since the foundation of the world. However, Jesus has once and for all at the consummation and close of the ages made a physical appearance to put away and abolish sin by His sacrifice of Himself. And just as it is appointed for [all] men once to die, and after that the certain judgment, Even so it is that Christ, having been offered to take upon Himself and bear as a burden the sins of many once and once for all, will appear a second time, not to carry any burden of sin nor to deal with sin, but to bring to full salvation those who are eagerly, constantly, and patiently waiting for and expecting Him.”

The Levitical priests would enter the temple once every year with a mission to sacrifice unblemished animals as a sin offering for the sins of the people. This had become a continual ritual year after year. Paul now states that Jesus became a permanent offering for our sins and we need no more offerings because He offered His own blood for the cleansing of the sinful cursed nature we were born with once and for all and there is no more offering necessary.

This foundation of understanding of Jesus sacrifice on the cross must be in place in the deep consciencness of the believer if; they are going to be a winner over the sin principle that comes to rob them of their righteous state in Jesus the Christ.

A righteous person is only righteous because; they accepted Jesus sacrifice at the cross by spilling His own blood once and for all of mankind.

To become righteous one must confess their allegiance in Jesus one act and allow the Holy Ghost to come into their soul and take up residence with in them and once this miracle takes place (and it must be a supernatural event) not a head knowledge decision with out real belief. Paul said that, Jesus is not coming back to judge sin because that was what He already dealt with at the cross, and since we are now righteous in His sight, He looks at us the same way He looks at Jesus our older brother that being; we are blameless, free from evil and set apart as His own children whom He deeply loves and He wants to share all that He owns bountifully continually in to our lives.

There is nothing more that we can do become more righteous or neither can we lose it by bad behavior.

If you are not fully persuaded of what I have just stated in this last statement, the sin principle is alive and very active in your life.
