📜 TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: Romans 7:15-25
15 For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. 16 Now if I do what I do not want, I agree with the law, that it is good. 17 So now it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me. 18 For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out.19 For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.
21 So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. 22 For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being, 23 but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. 24 Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? 25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back my friends. We are going to dive right in this morning because yesterday's |
| 0:06.4 | episode we introduced this battle that we all face and I wasn't able to get into |
| 0:11.8 | the meat of it very much because reading the passage |
| 0:14.7 | that we're talking about took so much time. So if you were not able to hear yesterday's |
| 0:19.7 | episode please go back and listen to it's the February 1st episode of 2019. |
| 0:25.0 | We're talking about this battle and the Apostle Paul describes the battle in Romans |
| 0:30.9 | chapter 7 beginning in verse verse 15 when he says he doesn't understand his own actions. |
| 0:37.0 | And what he describes I believe his attention we have all felt. |
| 0:42.0 | We want to do the will of God. Amen, my brother and |
| 0:46.3 | sister. We want to do the will of God. That is our heartbeat as a new creation in |
| 0:52.4 | Christ and yet there are times, almost daily, where we find |
| 0:58.2 | ourselves doing exactly the opposite of that desire. |
| 1:02.8 | Isn't that what the Apostle Paul describes here |
| 1:05.2 | in Romans chapter 7? |
| 1:07.3 | He says, the very thing I don't want to do, |
| 1:09.7 | that's what I wind up doing. |
| 1:11.1 | I wind up doing what I hate to do. Now notice how Paul is speaking about |
| 1:16.3 | himself and notice more specifically what he's saying about his own desires. |
| 1:24.2 | This is crucial, my brothers and sisters. |
| 1:26.4 | Notice this. |
| 1:28.0 | Paul says, I, the real me, who I am in Christ who he's made me to be, I do not want to do evil. |
