What Christ Does To Our Flesh

"But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you." Romans 8:9-11

So many Christians I know are worried about the weakness of their flesh; if you are one of them, in the Name of Jesus stop it. The weakness of our flesh has been overcome by the power of God’s might! We now have Christ dwelling within us and we are now one with Him and our mortal flesh has been quickened, which means our flesh has been made alive together with Christ, by the power and victory of God's very own Spirit. We are now one with God through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior! We are now the Temples of the Holy Ghost and the very presence of God that now dwells within us cleanses us and strengthens us from all sin! “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” 1 Corinthians 3:16 We are now new creatures in Christ, all of the old things of our flesh have passed away from us, and behold all things are now new for us as we live united with Christ! “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17 Before we were saved our flesh was weak, but now the weak have been made strong in Christ, because the weak have become one with Christ! We have been saved from our corrupted flesh; the weakness of our flesh has been done away with by the strength of the power of the Anointing of God that has been given us!

One application of Christ and your flesh is forever changed. Christ wipes out every wrinkle, every spot, and every blemish, Ephesians 5:27. Oil of Ole only covers it up, you have to continually buy that stuff and the results are questionable. But man the Anointing of God is free and one application is eternal. And we don’t even have to apply it, God does it for us. You talk about a bargain!
