False prophets of our time teach, in their subtle and crafty ways, that sin is somehow not a problem for anyone.

The truth is, sin is not a problem for those who abide in Christ. And as Jesus said to his disciples—anyone can be at risk of no longer abiding in Christ.

The one who deceives the whole world is still trying.

Yes indeed, and the devil has succeeded in infiltrating most of the minds of today’s ministers and lying about the very real power of the comforter whom Jesus sends.

And the truth that the list church has missed, is that Jesus and God gave us the power over sinning...to NOT sin any longer once we are truly saved. It is easy...with the holy spirit. It is the apostate church that has made it difficult for people. Shame on them!

In whom do you suppose the apostle Paul abided?

Romans 7:

[14] For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
[15] For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
[16] If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
[17] Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
[18] For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
[19] For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
[20] Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
[21] I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
[22] For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
[23] But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
[24] O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
[25] I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
