“Well my child’s been born in the church” versus “I just came into the church,” two different worlds? No. All born in Adam. You don’t have to turn there; I’m going to read it to you right out Romans 5. You can turn there if you want. I’m not going to stay there. I want to read one little passage because it tells you, you cannot escape this mindset.
According to Pastor Melissa Scott that it says, “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world.” And we still live in that very same world. We haven’t departed. We were by nature children of wrath. Now see how simple this. You say how do we get victory over the world, the flesh and the devil? The Bible has many avenues and says many things. The victory over the flesh is not like it’s going to happen right now. The victory begins when you’re plugged in by faith. It’s been the same message. Grace is the message and it is the connection, that connection of faith. You pull that plug out, say ‘bye-’bye. No more juice flowing through you. You might as well just go out and get back into the current. And it is a drag. It’s one of those things like used a magnetic pull. I know. I was out there. And to pull away from the world, God has got to come in and do what verse 5 says, “He quickens us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ.” Not quickened us alone.
