1. Struggling with your Sinful Nature Text out of Romans 7:15-20 Romans 8:2-14 1 Co 5:6-7 Gal 5:19

3. Romans 7:15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18 I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature.

4. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do--this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me

5. So far have you noticed the frustration Paul has with him-self, even though he’s seen as one of the Greatest of the Apostles. He struggled with his own sinful nature, so then what match are you without God.

6. GAL 5:16 So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. 17 For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.

7. GAL 5:19 The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality , impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred , discord, jealousy , fits of rage, selfish ambition , dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness , orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

8. GAL 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited , provoking and envying each other. GAL 6:1 Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.

9. 1CO 5:6 Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast works through the whole batch of dough? 7 Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a new batch without yeast--as you really are. This could be anything Sex, Gambling, Drinking till Drunk, Anger management take your pick they all will sooner or later get worst and your yeast will effect others!

10. You need God’s word active in your life, not left at Church when you leave. You need to read and heed his word, don’t forget and leave it home. My God is not to be put in a box, but he is highly portable. He’ll fit in your Laptop, Your Car Stereo, and Your I-Pod, and lastly He will fit into your heart if you put him in.

11. The End
