Today's devotional reading for:
Wednesday, Sep 4, 2019 The Old Man and the New
“He who was seated on the throne said, ‘Look! I am making all things new.’”
— Revelation 21:5
The great Dutch theologian, Abraham Kuyper, who was the only theologian I know of to ever rise to the position of Prime Minister of his country, had this to say:
“But in regeneration a change took place.
By this divine act, our person is in principle detached from his former ego in the old man… Our person is no longer identified with the old man, but opposes him.
Even though he succeeds in enticing us again to sin, even in the yielding we do not what we will, but what we hate. Only hear what St. Paul says:
‘For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice’ (Romans 7:19 nkjv).”
A new man has been created, and the believer must consciously be more and more separated from the old nature, which must be more and more mortified and slain.
We must identify more and more with the new nature.
Only in thus being so identified, will our prayers be pleasing to God and will they be answered.
Say “yes” to the new man and “no” to the old man.
If you are in Christ, you have received a new nature.
However, as long as you are alive, you still have within an old man.
Which of the two will you cater to?
Which will you feed? Which will you starve?
That will determine your spiritual progress.
Lord Jesus, we struggle with the two natures within and look in longing for the day You will forever remove our sinful nature, and we will be glorified, without even a possibility of a sinful thought. Hasten that day, Lord…
BY GOD’S STRENGTH, WE CAN
FIGHT THE SINFUL NATURE.  | ||||||

Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever
Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.
Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.
To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.
Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!
Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!
Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!
