1 John 5:18 (KJV): "We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not."

Have you ever wondered why old sinful habits keep tripping you up, preventing you from moving forward in God's blessing? Or why you are unable to grow in the spiritual things of God? The Bible says we canbecome well skilled in the Word of righteousness, and spiritually mature to discern what is of God, and what is not. The plain truth is we are only as spiritually mature as wedesireto be. In the natural, when we want to achieve a goal, we do EVERYTHING in our power to succeed. Imagine if we used this same tenacity to grow ourselves in the things of a God? 2 Peter 1:3 says "God's divine power has givenus everything needed for fullness of life and godliness, through the full, personal knowledge of Him Who called us by and to His own glory and excellence." Because we are born of God, sin has no power over us. We can turn our backs on the devil and diligently pursue knowing God and His ways. This gives the devil no grounds to touch us, and even if he tried, he would come short every time. Decide to put your past behind, pursue God with all your heart and His power within you - will cause you to overcome.
