From "The Lord My Portion"Knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him. Romans 6.6. It is imperative for us to ask the Spirit of the Lord for revelation that we may see how our old man was crucified with Christ. No matter how temptation may sometimes comecausing us to feel as though our old man has not diedwe will nonetheless believe in what God has done rather than in our feeling and experience. When we truly see this as a fact we shall find that the experience of it will naturally follow. Let us notice that Gods fact does not become factual because we so believe; instead, we believe so because Gods fact is already factual. Whenever he is tempted or tested, the person must believe that Gods word and Gods fact are more dependable than his own feeling. If he fully believes in Gods word, God will be responsible for giving him the experience. Should a person turn to his own past negative experience he will be defeated and will not have any future positive experience. By our believing in Gods fact, our spiritual life will daily advance.
