@cindyblaska I had a dream last night where I was drowning ready to take in the water & then I woke up… So thankful for the breath of life from The Father!! The spirit/breath gives us life, animation and character. ♥️
It is Romans 7:14-25 for anyone curious.
Paul describes the internal war with sin perfectly: “I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do… For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. … What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?” (NIV).
He explains the sinful nature (flesh) still at work even when the mind agrees with God’s law—doing the very things we don’t want, because sin “living in me” hijacks us. It ends with hope: thanks to Jesus Christ, delivering us from this body of death while we still battle in the flesh.
Theo Von recently echoed this raw honesty—struggling with old habits, pain, and wanting change but feeling stuck in the same patterns. It hits because it’s universal: the frustration of knowing better yet repeating what harms us. Paul’s point isn’t defeat—it’s that self-effort fails; grace through Christ wins the war. Many relate deeply to that tension between desire and action.
@CarlisleDiana@VitallyMelanie In 2019, I was suffering from an adderall overdose. My heart was shutting down & my extremties went numb/cold. I’m almost sure putting my legs up on the wall saved my life.
