Daily Prayer for November 5th, 2018
Good morning, God—thank You! 🙂
I believe that I am not under law but under grace, therefore I should not even think about sin, but be thankful for the gift of righteousness through the blood of Your son, Jesus. I keep in Your word because Your words are life to me. In my innermost being flows a well of living water, therefore I am revived. I have been set free from sin, and now live with You. Please, energize my spirit and restore my soul. All of mankind needs revival, God, a recovery of regularity and authority of Your word over all of life. Send forth angels to bring an awakening in every home, relationship, church, community, marketplace, job, and in all the world. Holy Spirit, pour out life to us all! In Jesus name. Amen.
Romans 6-8 English Standard Version (ESV)
Dead to Sin, Alive to God
6 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? 3 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. 6 We know that our old self-was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. 7 For one who has died has been set free from sin. 8 Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. 9 We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. 10 For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. 11 So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. 13 Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. 14 For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.
Psalm 51:10 English Standard Version (ESV)
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right spirit within me.
