📜 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 brothers and my sisters. This is Carrie Green and we are here for |
| 0:07.0 | the morning mindset. Time to get our minds aligned with the truth of God and we are |
| 0:12.0 | digging into some amazing truths. I hope some truths that really change |
| 0:17.0 | the way you think about yourself and about what God has done in your life. |
| 0:23.0 | Because in Romans chapter 7, the apostle Paul is doing an incredible job |
| 0:28.0 | exposing the reality of what goes on in our souls in the depths of who we are when we are tempted |
| 0:36.2 | to sin. This is vital stuff to understand. Now I just highlighted in the last |
| 0:41.9 | episode, February 2nd episode of 2019, go back and listen if you didn't hear it. |
| 0:46.8 | I just highlighted that Paul goes to great lengths to show that the struggle that we face is not a struggle with a bad version of ourselves. |
| 0:57.7 | Rather, he says that sin dwells within our flesh our flesh he calls it our flesh and the word he |
| 1:08.0 | uses refers to the physical body now the way I've described described this before that it makes sense to me is that you know when you |
| 1:17.3 | put spaghetti sauce in a Tupperware bowl and then you heat it up in a microwave, You know what happens there, right? The bowl gets this |
| 1:25.8 | reddish residue on it, no matter how many times you put it through the dishwasher |
| 1:31.6 | and try and scour that thing with Comet, it still has this tinge of redness to it because |
| 1:38.1 | the tomato sauce in the spaghetti sauce is amazingly potent, right? |
| 1:44.7 | Well, that's kind of what's happened to us |
| 1:47.1 | from the stain of sin. |
| 1:48.9 | You see, the power of sin remains in a residue sort of a form in this mortal body. |
| 1:56.0 | Now keep in mind, be very clear on this. |
| 1:59.0 | I'm talking about the flesh and blood body that we live in. |
| 2:02.0 | That is where the power of sin resides in us. |
| 2:07.0 | So let that sink in. That's a lot different than saying you've got this white dog and this black dog inside of you and |
