Wow. Just found this message. I've wrestled with this topic of old man (flesh) vs. the new man (in Christ) for over 40 years! Thank you, Andrew for making it all so plain and clear and simple to understand.
Great clarity of differences taught here between flesh, Sin and Old self and new self. Important to recognise temptation about having a wicked heart. Reckoning yourself dead to sin and alive to God. Able to reign in life through the one man Christ Jesus.
You mean temptation to think our heart is wicked when it's really perfect and sinless. Since evil thoughts are presented to our minds by the parasite of sin living in us, we might mistakenly think these are from our hearts, rather than from the evil alien parasite living in us. However our new born-again Spirit and new hearts are perfect, holy, and incorruptible. They're from God and cannot sin. Yay! 🙌
This is so powerful, thank-you, I have been blessed to come across this. I can remember a thought when I was very young, maybe 8 0r 9, I cannot be sure, but I somehow knew that something wasn't right with the way I was and that something had happened to change that but I did not know what that something was. I knew that I could not rest until I knew what this was. I now know that this something was what Christ did on the cross and through his resurrection. The Holy Spirit was in my life at that young age but we all know how this beautiful revelation is under attack by the "ways of the world". We know what "ways of the world" means. I dream a lot but have had two or three very "gentle" dreams, one where I am looking up at the cross to our Lord, so full of humility, gentleness yet the power that comes through that which is Life. The other dream is a voice which quietly said that I am "nothing without Jesus." Yet another dream has been where I pictured being part of the trial of Jesus. This powerful video helps me to believe that the Holy Spirit is at work, thank -you so much, God bless you Andrew.
Amen thank you Jesus Christ You gave me a new Identity,thank Lord Jesus to Dr Andrew Farley what He received from you this revelation and share to us. We are blessed with the messages. Glory to God!
Keep listening and it will eventually go from head knowledge you want to memorize to heart knowledge of Truth. Life is yours to live in Christ as a born again man and spirit. God has blessed us with Jesus & death & resurrection of the soul's ability to share in the crucifixion in Christ.
Actually, it’s already true in your spirit and in the Spirit. So, it’s not going from your head to your heart. It’s going from your heart to your head. Peace
Understand that do not determine by your own willpower to stop confess your utter inability to do it and focus on Christ’s ability He’s our hope there is no hope in our flesh
Lots old Pentecostal thought when they got saved thought they had to instant the minute afterwards. So they stressed themselves out to be perfect in the flesh. They would deny themselves they thought that made them unperfect. Then if they couldn't do it they thought they had lost their salvation, and wouldn't try as much. That is a trick of the devil.
I spent some time with a Pentecostal church/group of people. God bless them. But there was absolutely no sense of freedom for me...walking with Christ was like walking on a tightrope. It was too much. I had to disconnect from them completely. I’m glad for this teaching, because now there is a joy that comes with walking with God.
@@AsIAm3991 Right on it has some draw backs because they want you to dress a certain way and look a certain way. All of it though is not wrong, but they do think you ought to do certain things that is bondage They try and mix law with grace. Jesus has freed us from the law and we are to trust in him for our salvation and not the way look. We are though to dress in a way that modest, shouldn't judge one another for a weakness in the flesh. We have to learn what is right and wrong.
@@MirandaDanda1983 Exactly they love to mess with your mind on how good you or wrong you are. They also like to make you think that you still need to keep certain days extra holy or you need to worship on a certain or you are not keeping the Sabbath. Jesus is our Sabbath and no day can take place of his rest.
Thank you very much... You speak very well and clear with understanding... I just subscribed... May ELOHIM and HIS SON YESHUA HAMASHIACH bless you... Adios from the mountains of Guatemala
The elevation of self in your messages is troubling to me. Yes we are triumphant but not perfect. I understand "church without religion," is a positive outlook though I still see the reality of a sinful self. Thank you for your message. MikeInMinnesota
I really enjoy listening to Andrew. I did not grow up knowing much about what Salvation really means. I was raised to believe the church and doctrines were part of our salvation. We were tought that Salvation is lost by leaving the denomination. Its a cult like (system). Religion.
My notes and some thoughts for this video. I believe in (co) crucifixion Jesus was crucified for me and I was crucified with Jesus. If my old man was crucified with Christ and is dead how is it then then I need to die to self daily or deny the flesh? I was also buried with Jesus and raised so that I could walk in the newness of life. Is it true that moments before I was born again I was taken through the process of death burial and resurrection/ The resurrection part being the new birth? What did the process look like before we were actually born again(you hear the gospel, you believed the gospel.... Is this the point where God takes you through the process of being crucified with Christ buried with Jesus and risen to new life? (I am now a child of the resurrection). People need to die and that has already happened if you are in Christ we have been set free from Sin(he who has died is set free from sin). We count ourselves dead to sin because we are . When Jesus said pick up your cross and follow me where was he asking you to go? He was asking you to go to galGotha the place of the skull to die with him. If you are in Christ this has already happened. In our mentality, our ways of thinking we have to understand what we are dead to (sin) and what we are alive to (newness of life) Colossians 3:3 you have died! And your life is hidden with Christ in God! (The flesh is the old way to feel OK) The new way to feel OK is to realize and understand your identity in Christ. Check out Genesis 4:7 (Sin is not you) Sin is lurking at the door, But you must master it. Is there a power called sin that is in you but it’s not you? We struggle with these things but they do not define or describe us. Consider yourself to be (dead to sin )but alive to God. Do not let (sin) rain in your mortal bodies so that you (its) lusts . Romans 6:11-12. Draw a line in your thought life and put you in God on one side And recognize that every thought of sin and the flesh is on the other team.
Tremendous New Creation Theology of which am one. Question for those familiar with Andrew. Does he teach that the Romans 7 man is after Jesus (Sounds like that here)? Or before Jesus?
Andrew believes this was Paul under the Law which was before Christ and he was giving an example of STRIVING INNNN the FLESH(in Adam) under Moses and SELF EFFORT which is death-pointless,and goes on to point to Christ as our ONLY HOPE!!!!
Paul R Beautiful! The Romans 7 Man is Under the Law before Christ or Bewitched into the Law after Christ. A life short of the glory of the Finished Work. Thank You
for some reason-no matter how good the words are and how good the teaching is -when you feel no love or spirit you are left flat.i have listened to several of his videos and i just feel empty-.
Pray that God would fill you with the passion, joy and motivation of the Holy Spirit. Once you have confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead then you are saved. Now pray and just wait upon the Lord and He will feel you with Supernatural Joy and enthusiasm that only comes from him and he will give you new passions and desires. It's such an invigorating way to start each day with the empowerment of God Spirit In You!
I might make a suggestion. DO NOT GO BY FEELINGS, go by the word of God. Thers a very good book id suggest called “ purpose driven life “ by Rick Warren. Keep an eye out for it and Go to the SOURCE!! God does love you
VERDE VALLEY ....sometimes I feel agonizing torment when I sin, no matter how small, and I often feel devistated about future sins, and also about my past sin, so bad!!!🤔 that I wish that I could undo every wrong, failure and sin and 're-boot' my life and begin again even, without ever committing the sins that I have committed.....😣😣
The word sin. Is an archery term, it means to hit the mark! Paul says we our DEAD to sin, but alive to God in Christ! I never heard anyone from the pulpit define in Greek the word SIN! It's sad that it remains a mystery to Christian's!!; Thank God for a revealing of his finished work!
With a New Law, which is a New Covenant., that we can follow...One that he obeyed and finished for us. Now, we have HIS identity, not the Old Mans, the Old Adam...but, The New Adam under The Law of Grace, not The Old Law......Jesus fulfilled The Old Law IN YOU, IN YOU, THEN WROTE ANOTHER, THE LAW OF LOVE WHCIH IS GRACE, UNEARNED UNMERITED FAVOR WITH GOD, SO WE CAN COME BOLDY INTO THE THRONE OF GRACE, GUAREENTEED THE BLESSINGS, BECAUSE OF HIM OBEYING, NOT US OBEYING. JESUS GAVE US AN A PLUS BEFORE THE FATHER..
Can someone just do a quick clarification on this, speaking the truth in unrighteousness. I don’t know why this is getting to me lately. It is to say you haven’t been washed by the blood or born again but speak the word of God to judge or condemn another? Is this correct?
1Co_15:31 "I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily." IF OUR DEATH TO SELF ALREADY HAPPENED HOW COME NO ONE TOLD THE APOSTLE PAUL?
Context is king. When Paul says he dies daily he is talking about the stresses of his apostolic ministry. Other translation render it I face death daily. It was a dangerous profession being an apostle in 1st century. We know eventually Paul did die at Roman hands.
But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ- by grace you have been saved- Ephesians 2:4-5
● ... *beloved* [agapétoi], let us cleanse *ourselves* [heautous] from all defilement *of flesh* [sarkos] and of spirit, perfecting holiness *in* |the| *fear* [en fobō¡] of God. - 2-Cor 7^1 ● But fornication and all uncleanness or greediness, let it *not-even* [méde] be named *among you* [en humin], as becometh *saints* [hagiois], and filthiness and foolish-talking or jesting, ... *for this* [touto gar] ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, *hath* [echei] any inheritance *in the kingdom* [en té¡ basileia¡] of Christ and of God. Let no-man deceive *you* with empty words: [Médeis *humas* apatatō kenois logois•] ... - Eph 5^3-6
ELOHIM created all of us a very very long time ago... we have our Earthly age...wouldn't it be interesting to know how old you are from the time you were created by ELOHIM? ... did we interact and do things when we were created or were we just put on hold in a file or some type of Supernatural hard drive for a while until this time when we were born here on Earth to be used by ELOHIM and do our job here that most of us have forgotten or don't know about or even have a clue that we were sent here for a reason...
I hope you're not saying you don't believe in carnal Christians. Romans 7 is written in the present tense. It is not a past struggle. It is a struggle Paul was currently dealing with.
Exactly. I believe this man is teaching false doctrine. The two natures of the believer is absolutely true. Just because we get a new spirit at salvation doesn’t mean the old one suddenly vanishes!
Paul says...'I die daily' ....?? I've always thought that, 'I need to die daily', to my flesh, and that it's a fight against my 'human nature' until the day I die, that's why we have to present our bodies daily, a living sacrifice before God, with the renewing of our minds!! It's a daily fight and struggle to keep 'self' 'under', that the 'Divine nature' would be ruling in our lives, God said 'Jacob I love and Easu I hate'....Esau is like our 'first-born' nature, Jacob is like the 'Divine nature', and is what we strive to aspire to. Esau was born first, then Jacob was born 'holding-on' to the 'heel' of Esau, which suggests to me that we will always be joined to our 'first-born nature' right from the very time that we are born, until the day we die.
Context is king. When Paul says he dies daily he is talking about the stresses of his apostolic ministry. Other translation render it I face death daily. It was a dangerous profession being an apostle in 1st century. We know eventually Paul did die at Roman hands. The context of Esau and Jacob is not at all to do with our struggles with sin, but rather God's choosing of Jacob over Esau to be a Patriarch.
Yes you are right! We are in this world not of it. John 17:16-26 King James Version (KJV) 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. 20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
Romans 12:2 King James Version (KJV) 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
A lot of movies are evil, but there are some that are beneficial for the church and for evangelism. Consider the topic of guns. Guns don't kill people, people kill people. The gun is an instrument that can used to murder just as it can to protect. The gun in and of itself is not sentient and evil because it is an inanimate object. The same can be said about movies and music. In fact, Moses created a song you read in the Bible and even the KJV version. King David wrote several songs in the form of Psalms. The nature of movies and music is in the hands of those who create, not on the form of creativity. God doesn't judge inanimate objects like rocks, movies, or music, he judges people.
Wow. Just found this message. I've wrestled with this topic of old man (flesh) vs. the new man (in Christ) for over 40 years! Thank you, Andrew for making it all so plain and clear and simple to understand.
David what a wonderful gift our Heavenly Father has blessed to Andrew I just can’t get enough ❤❤❤
Very powerful teaching!! Everyone needs to hear this.
This is one of the best sermons I have ever heard Andrew preach!
This is an excellent teaching of Truth! Few pastors or teachers know this. And if they do, they will not teach it?😢
Oh ya ! Clearing my mind this morning of who and where I am in Christ. Such a beautiful message.

I wish I could memorize all of this..clean and clear presentation Andrew..
Keep listening and it will eventually go from head knowledge you want to memorize to heart knowledge of Truth. Life is yours to live in Christ as a born again man and spirit. God has blessed us with Jesus & death & resurrection of the soul's ability to share in the crucifixion in Christ.
I know! I was actually taking notes. I thought I'd just jot down a few things he said but I ended up with two pages. Lol
Actually, it’s already true in your spirit and in the Spirit. So, it’s not going from your head to your heart. It’s going from your heart to your head. Peace

I have heard pastors explain sin as to miss the mark. Even though the words differ, the meaning of sin/miss the mark remains the same.
Hamartia, translated as sin, means “forfeiture by missing the mark” (Strongs). As in missing a target.

@Resurrected Eyes
Why are you afraid of His name when He is a Hebrew?
I hope you're not saying you don't believe in carnal Christians. Romans 7 is written in the present tense. It is not a past struggle. It is a struggle Paul was currently dealing with.
Exactly. I believe this man is teaching false doctrine. The two natures of the believer is absolutely true. Just because we get a new spirit at salvation doesn’t mean the old one suddenly vanishes!
I’d say the old heart vanished but definitely not the old mind, we are not sin itself. But our old mind is still wired that way. I agree with you two
Paul says...'I die daily' ....??
I've always thought that, 'I need to die daily', to my flesh, and that it's a fight against my 'human nature' until the day I die, that's why we have to present our bodies daily, a living sacrifice before God, with the renewing of our minds!! It's a daily fight and struggle to keep 'self' 'under', that the 'Divine nature' would be ruling in our lives, God said 'Jacob I love and Easu I hate'....Esau is like our 'first-born' nature, Jacob is like the 'Divine nature', and is what we strive to aspire to.
Esau was born first, then Jacob was born 'holding-on' to the 'heel' of Esau, which suggests to me that we will always be joined to our 'first-born nature' right from the very time that we are born, until the day we die.
Context is king. When Paul says he dies daily he is talking about the stresses of his apostolic ministry. Other translation render it I face death daily. It was a dangerous profession being an apostle in 1st century. We know eventually Paul did die at Roman hands.
The context of Esau and Jacob is not at all to do with our struggles with sin, but rather God's choosing of Jacob over Esau to be a Patriarch.
So I thought movies were bad? Any worldly pleasure is bad. That’s what I’ve been told.
Yes you are right! We are in this world not of it. John 17:16-26 King James Version (KJV)
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
Romans 12:2 King James Version (KJV)
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
I agree, the movie and music world are so sinful and mostly evil...
A lot of movies are evil, but there are some that are beneficial for the church and for evangelism. Consider the topic of guns. Guns don't kill people, people kill people. The gun is an instrument that can used to murder just as it can to protect. The gun in and of itself is not sentient and evil because it is an inanimate object.
The same can be said about movies and music. In fact, Moses created a song you read in the Bible and even the KJV version. King David wrote several songs in the form of Psalms. The nature of movies and music is in the hands of those who create, not on the form of creativity. God doesn't judge inanimate objects like rocks, movies, or music, he judges people.
Self is a person. You are a hypocrite. Pastors don’t want to be a doormat or a robot. Accusations come from the church & hypocrite pastors
People should NOT be doormats, but neither right to practice selfishness pretended as doormats waking up
