Defeating Sins Strongholds Matthew 5:27-30Our society encourages ,or at the very least, assumes , immorality more than it did 50 years ago. We’re bombarded with sexual messages in movies, TV shows, books, music, even advertisements. But I want you to realize that sexual sin is not a late 20th century development. It has been around a long time and people in every generation have struggled with it.When Jesus addressed this topic, he was not speaking to people so far removed from our experience that his words no longer apply. They are just as relevant today as they were the day that Jesus spoke them.If there’s a sin that you struggle with day-after-day ,a sin that just seems to have your name on it , Jesus shows how you can break the power of that sin. You can look away.Cut it out.Guard your Heart.If there is a sin that has you in its grip, you can be free from its power. Paul said…For sin will have no dominion over you. Romans 6:14God created us to be victorious over sin , even the biggest one of all , the one that has your name on it. Whether it’s lust, or pride, or jealousy, or anger, or greed, or whatever it may be, you can be free from the stronghold of sin.
