Lesson 53 Warring Against the Flesh: Living in Resurrection Power
Testimony
Nicklas writes, "Since taking the Setting Captives Free Purity Follow Up course, what has changed in my walk with God is the insight that I need to wash at the cross every day. It all starts with me realizing that I have already won (Rom 8:35) and that nothing can change God's love for me (Rom 8:29-30). This insight has changed everything and helped with Warring at the flesh. My relationship with God has changed dramatically and this course has a big part of that. Up til now, my picture of God was of someone that is very disappointed with me and only loves me because He has promised to do so. I have been struggling with me loving God for several years without realizing that love needs to be started with me feeling loved by God (1 John 4:19). By turning to the cross and realizing that not only are my sins forgiven, but also I am no longer a slave of sin has created an intimate relationship between God and me. Another big difference is that I now long to study the Bible and pray each day. I am feeling much more secure in my faith compared to earlier when my faith could go up and down.
By the victory God has given me through me not being a slave to sin anymore, I feel loved by God, and I am no longer running away from" bad" feelings. I have been able to deal with the sorrow from my father's death and also the loss of a close friend of mine that committed suicide by focusing on the love of Jesus displayed for me on the cross. I have also grown in intimacy with my wife and children while taking this course.
I highly recommend this course; it is by far the best help I have had when it comes to understanding God, how much He loves me and what He has done for me. I have been struggling with impurity all my time as a Christian, but this course has really changed the game by helping me understand that God has set me free, and I am no longer a slave of sin. I have had the best period of my Christian life so far!"
