WINNING

Daily Scripture: Hebrews 12:1: “Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.”

  • When the weight of sin and flesh overwhelms the weight of the spirit the race is compromised. Drop the weight. Run the race and win.
  • Satan has mastered the act and art of deception that many times we do not even know we are deceived.  The weight of sin weighs down the spirit and compromises the race. 
  • Christianity is a race that sin so easily ensnares those things we think nothing of. Jesus said his yoke is easy and his burden light yet we acquire yokes and burdens willfully because we refuse to leave them at the cross. 
  • Malice, strife, unforgiveness, hard hearts, hatred, bitterness, worldliness and unrighteousness. 
  • Sins that ensnare. We feed our flesh indulgently until it weighs more, weighing down the spirit. The spirit is malnourished due to poor feeding habits. 
  • Satan loves to muddle the water and sour the feeding troughs. People go to eat and drink and leave hungry. 
  • Father, remove anyone starving your children of the food and water of life. Exercise our flesh so that we may lose the weight of sin and lighten us to be free to serve you in spirit and truth. Lose weight, run and win your race. 

Good morning, Victorious.
