It was God's will...One of the most misused phrases we use when attempting to explain circumstances to others - Christian and non Christian alike. What is God's will? How do we know what to pray for and how to pray for it? The answers are in His Word - the Bible. This page will examine God's word and how the prayer warrior can stand to intercede, to agree - to understand...
God's Word regarding the struggle between our minds and our bodies:
Romans Chapter 7 verses 14-24 - written by the apostle Paul:
14- We know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold into slavery to sin.
15- What I do, I do not understand. For I do not do what I want, but I do what I hate.
16- Now if I do what I do not want, I concur that the law is good.
17- So now it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.
18- For I know that good does not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh. The willing is ready at hand, but doing the good is not.
19- For I do not do the good I want. But I do the evil I do not want.
20- Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.
21- So, then, I discover the principle that when I want to do right, evil is at hand.
22- For I take delight in the law of God, in my inner self,
23- but I see in my members another principle at war with the law of my mind, taking me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members.
24- Miserable one that I am! Who will deliver me from this mortal body?
25 -Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Therefore, I myself with my mind, serve the law of God but, with my flesh, the law of sin.
Chapter 8 explains that Jesus has freed us from the law of sin and death.
God knows that each of us live daily in our bodies - surrounded by pressures, invitations, temptations - why do we sin? Because we are as we were created - human. This is why we need and can come to Christ with any issue...ask Him why....and be blessed by the answer.
