Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's your early body praise party. I am Sherry Mackie
at his time right now for today's word, put off
the old, put on the new. If it's just four
twenty two and twenty three says that you put off
concerning your former conduct, the old man, which grows corrupt
according to the deceitful Luss, and be renewed in the

(00:21):
spirit of your mind. When you gave your life to
Christ and were born again, the scripture says you became
a new creation. The old has passed away. However, that
doesn't mean that you'll never have any more carnal desires
or never want to be jealous or rude or complain.
You don't operate in the flesh. No, the old man

(00:43):
may have died, but sometimes he'll try to resurrect. Every
day the old man is trying to get back up
and run your life. Your old nature or your flesh
will rise from the dead. Even though you're a new
creation in Christ, you have to put off the old constantly.
You have to realize you're a work in progress. Peter

(01:04):
was a faithful, strong, committed disciple who took up his
sword and cut off a man's ear when Jesus was arrested.
He was fighting for the Lord. But y'all, just a
few hours later he denied even knew Jesus. Well, just
like Peter, we all have two natures inside, the old
man and the new man. That's why we have to

(01:25):
put off the old man, put off the pride, put
off the bitterness, to compromise the temper, and put on
a new man. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,
self controlled. See, the more you put off the old man,
the weaker and weaker he gets. The same is true
though with the new The more you spend time with God,

(01:49):
the more you read and study the Word of God,
the more you worship, the stronger he gets. Oh, Father God,
thank you that we are a new creation in Christ Jesus,
and that the oldest passed away. Thank you that we
can put off old things today and start with a
fresh new attitude. God, We're gonna be our best and
make the most of every day. In Jesus' name, that's

(02:11):
your word for today. Take an apply to your everyday life,
and you continue to be encouraged and inspired. It's Shirley
what he prays. Party. I am Sherry Mackie Good morning,
