We all have a sinful nature, but if we’re born again, the Holy Spirit lives within us. The Holy Spirit empowers us to say, “no” to sin and “yes” to Christ. Casting down the sinful nature should be a normal part of Christian living and this prayer, crafted from Galatians 5:16-26, gets us started in this process. Pray this prayer. Share it with your friends, and give me a like.

Prayer

Jesus, release the Spirit of God within me to such a degree that it destroys the manifestation of sin in my life by destroying the sinful nature. Send the Holy Spirit to totally overtake my life. I surrender to Him right now. By faith I nail the sinful nature to the cross. I’ll cultivate a Spirit-led life that manifests true love in all circumstances. Develop joyfulness within me. I will delight in others. Work peace within me, then help me spread it. Grow me in patience and long-suffering. Make me kind through the Holy Spirit. I will be friendly to all people at all times. Cultivate goodness in my life. By Your power, I’ll demonstrate Your moral and ethical qualities. Make me excellent in all things. Because of You working the Holy Spirit through me, people will be able to count on me. You’re making me gentle. Remove harshness from my life and the tone of my voice. Through the power of the Holy Spirit I’m dominating and controlling every part of my life. I long to walk step by step with the Spirit of God. I also refuse to play the comparison game with others. My goal is to be the best version of me that You made me to be. Dominate my life through the power of the Holy Spirit. I pray this in Jesus name, amen.

Galatians 5:16-26

So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever  you want. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality,impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited,provoking and envying each other.
