Please read Romans 6.

Meditate on verse 11.
Consider yourselves to be dead to sin
but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
Romans 6 is a freeing chapter. If you are in Christ, this is the truth about you:
*You have died to sin.
*You cannot still live in sin.
*You can walk in newness of life.
*Your old self was crucified with Christ.
*Your body of sin can be done away with.
*You are no longer a slave of sin.
*You are freed from sin.
*You live with Christ.
*You live to God.
*Sin will not be master over you.
*You are a slave of righteousness.
Satan did not want you to know those facts about yourself, but now you do. Satan wants you to believe the lie that you will spend the rest of your time on earth struggling with your old nature instead of victoriously living your new identity in Christ to the glory of the Father. Now that you know the truth about yourself, you can obey the first exhortation in Romans: “Consider yourself to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus” (Romans 6:11).
Pray Romans 6:12-13 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman.
“LORD, help __________ and me not let sin reign in our mortal body
so that we obey its lusts.
Do not let us go on presenting the members of our body
as instruments of unrighteousness,
but help us present ourselves to You, God,
as people alive from the dead,
and our members as instruments of righteousness to You.
In Your name, Jesus~”
