For the good that I want to do, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want. But if I am doing the very thing I do not want to do, I am no longer the one doing it [that is, it is not me that acts], but the sin [nature] which lives in me. So I find it to be the law [of my inner self], that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good. For I joyfully delight in the law of God in my inner self [with my new nature], [Ps 1:2] but I see a different law and rule of action in the members of my body [in its appetites and desires], waging war against the law of my mind and subduing me and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is within my members. Wretched and miserable man that I am! Who will [rescue me and] set me free from this body of death [this corrupt, mortal existence]? Thanks be to God [for my deliverance] through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind serve the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh [my human nature, my worldliness, my sinful capacity—I serve] the law of sin.

Being a Christian… what does that mean? Jesus did not come to establish a religion or an institution. He came to establish a relationship. In this first devotional from the Follow series, we will focus on the idea that Jesus came to make a relationship with our Creator possible. Jesus did something amazing and He invites us to follow Him so we can have an abundant life on this earth.
What's stopping you from moving forward into your purpose? It could be failed relationships, lack of finances, personal responsibilities, family obligations and so much more. Like some, there are invisible barriers that keep us from unlocking our true potential. These barriers are the limitations that are placed on an individual from the satanic realm, and later creates a stronghold that stands in the way of your purpose and destiny.
Self-discovery has captured this generation with personality tests, self-help books, and more people than ever seeking therapy to better understand themselves. But what does the Bible say about the importance of knowing yourself? How does knowing God help us know ourselves better? How does knowing God and knowing ourselves help us in our relationships? This plan unpacks first and foremost knowing God, how a knowledge of him helps us to know ourselves, and then how we can love others by knowing God and ourselves.
Many Christians become stuck in sin patterns and have little hope breaking free. This can lead to deep guilt, shame, and discouragement. In this three-day plan, you will begin a journey toward overcoming habitual sin by getting to the root of the issues through the power of Christ. Join us today.
