Which Dominion has Lordship over You?

I felt led to read Romans a few days ago, one of my favorite books. If there had not been any other book written, only Romans, it would have been the best of all the books to write and study.
In it, Paul gives us a lay out of human history right up until Christ and into the future. WHAT A BOOK!
I started at Romans 5&6. After reading it, so much jumped out to me I could hardly keep up. The Lord always comes thru when one asks for direction.
I have been witnessing to some woman and wasn't sure how to proceed. Their belief system is so untraditionally different that I felt inadequate to handle the situation. But I knew that Romans had the answers I needed. And did it ever!
I want to share with my readers the wonders I found.
To begin with I have always known that the new birth has the most marvelous of all beginnings. For one thing it changes our DNA! It's like God takes a pair of scissors and snips out the bad DNA, at the new born again experience.
But how does one go about proving it? And how does one prove that once done there is no more dominion of that bad old DNA!  With The Word silly!
I came across the wonderful word, remission, many years ago, while reading Hebrews 9:22.  I kept telling on my blog and others about it, but alas, I put it on the back burner as I went thru my daily life.
But this situation that I find myself in brought it all back again. As I have been digging in to Romans, there it was! Verse after verse. I thought unbelievable. But when one asks for The Lord to show or teach you something, get ready!
Many people today have a miss guided belief system of one kind or another. But with prayer and worship in The Spirit one will get to the place they need to be!
In Romans 6, The Crucified Life chapter, I call it, is filled to over flow of what Paul calls, "An evil force in our bodies. Yes you guessed it, that bad DNA! That DNA, we got in the garden after Adam sinned, eating of the wrong tree, that made all of us sick. Now being saved thru Christ we are commanded to eat His Words, The Holy Scriptures. Read John 6.
Just study these chapters and Romans 8.
These chapters tell us that we were under the dominion of this bad DNA! But here is the part that is soooooo special. Romans 6:9-23!
The word dominion means to have Lordship over.
Since Christ was both human and divine, led a sinless life and was the only begotten of The Father, who raised Him from the dead, sin,  or that bad DNA, has no dominion over us anymore!  YAHOO!
But why did God do this for us, one might ask? Answer: Romans 5:9! What a loving God is my God!
Go study Romans, you will not regret it!
Oh BTW-- be careful of the translations. I read KJV! Don't fall for that old lie that you can't understand it or it is too hard to understand , NOT SO!  Persevere!

How sad I am today, the terrible things that are going on in our nation and our world. Christ has told us of the world conditions at the time of His Coming, NOT GOOD!

I truly believe there will be some sort of revolution in our nation within the next 10 years if not sooner. Satan is at his best when he can divide people. he is doing a bang up job these days with politics.  

It all starts with education. First they leave out important information in school books, then eliminate information all together. This takes a little time but trust me when I say time passes fast. They eliminate history and culture and soon a whole generation has no idea what happened. That old saying soon gives light, "When you don't remember the past you are doomed to repeat it."

Where is America in all this confusion?  We started out in a struggle from the Brits, battled our way thru the Constitution, then the Civil war, WW1,WW11,Korea, Vietnam, Gulf war. Afghanistan, Irqu, and on and on it goes, and where it ends, only God knows.

We were The Light of the world, but because of sin we are becoming a dim light.  Will God over look our short comings or will the hammer fall soon?  Will there be true repentance of our sins, or a hardening of our hearts? It can only be one or the other.

Pray for the beauty that was once ours. Pray for restoration.
