REVIVE ME
My soul cleaves to the dust; Revive me according to Your word. Psa 119:25
From the dust of the earth, Adam was formed and God breathed life into his nostrils. The dust took on the exact image of Him who was by Him created. Adam was perfect and so was the garden in which he was formed. From this man, this creation of Almighty God, from his seed all men to this very day would carry his DNA, this original coding.
When Adam sinned, and through this sin death and evil was thrust upon the whole world. Adam's seed was cursed and the penalty was death. Since Adam was the man from whom all others would evolve, all men were born into this sin, and carry this penalty through the seed. Only through the shedding of blood would there come atonement. That saving atonement came through the blood shed by Jesus, the son of God, on a cross at a place called Calvary. Jesus death and resurrection became the precious salvation setting believers free from eternal death and suffering. Those who remain strong in Jesus to their very last earthly breath will be greatly rewarded in their new home in the Kingdom.
Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. -- For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself. Col 3:1-3,-- Php 3:20-21
Did you know that there is huge spiritual conflict going on pitting the spirit of the flesh against the Spirit of salvation in Jesus the Christ? Lust, idolatry, selfishness, greed, immorality, all push common sense and righteousness aside. This is a constant and real war.
For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please. -- So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh — for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. Gal 5:17,-- Rom 8:12-13
Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which wage war against the soul. 1Pe 2:11
Pray. Put on the protective armor of Jesus. Pray constantly. Include Jesus in all that you do. Keep Him as the center focus in you mind. Talk with Him, share with Him. Let Him change you and teach you to overcome the World. After all, in salvation you have a brand new address, eternal in the heavens!
