Seems What brah trys, I dont do

Romans 7
19 For the good which I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I practise.

20 But if what I would not, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwelleth in me.

21 I find then the law, that, to me who would do good, evil is present.

22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man(spirit):

23 but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind(ambivalence)(conflicting emotions), and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members(body).

How does our mind work? It is the same as the mind of a computer. Bad files must be deleted out of the hardware of the computer and good files must be inserted for the computer to operate according to the programmer's desires. Many times as Christians we get extremely frustrated when we are unable be obedient to what God has called us to do(if really sincere). But we must realize our Godly lifestyle is expressed by our Godly ways of thinking. I've realized facing our past, recognizing what our "fleshy"ways(natural or physical to human beings) of thinking are, where we get these carnal thought patterns from, and reprogramming our mind to God's Word, is the key formula for change of behavior. We sin because we respond to carnal(fleshly) thoughts and feelings. We must tell our selves, "I must not respond to carnal ways of thinking or to carnal feelings!" and patiently endure our tempations(Actually, not denying, but addressing them). The war we fight is an invisible war(not what our eyes see) in the spirit of our minds and in the minds of men. Finally, be patient with yourself and with God. Sometimes we may want wisdom(Knowledge of Good and Evil) and understanding instantly on how to deal with certain situations in our life.

So now you don't feel condemned( shown strong disapproval of and declared unfit ) and your mind is renewed ( reestablish and take up again or resume), brah, you are one strong somebody, thats on tha real!!! Read the Word. Keep your Mind on Christ (Colossians 3:1-3).

Deep blog, I like it. Great to see You exhibit Your Gift.
Look forward to seeing more and keep up the good work Bro.
I have considered doing a blog on this subject recently. I just saw this. Great job of breaking it down.
Self-righteous folk would not consider a man like this as a Christian now would they......
