WINNING THE WAR AGAINST SIN

The fight against sin is a war; and I want you to know that you can win that war. In fact, the battle is decided in your favour already, as Jesus already won the war on your behalf at Calvary, if you are born again. The Bible tells us:
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. Romans 6:14

Until you recognise a battle as one, you are likely to be a casualty in it. The battle against sin is a war, and you must fight to win it. Don't expect to win a war you don't fight.
Many have accepted defeat and taken the battle over sin as One they can do nothing about. But there will be a revolution.

if we fight for our spiritual health as we would for our physical health. First John 3:7 says, "He that 'doeth' righteousness is righteous. " Righteousness is a thing we do, not a thing we merely confess.

What's more, what it takes to win the war against sin is in every born again child of God.
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 1 John

God's seed that enables you overcome sin has been deposited into every child of His. And what is that seed? The Bible tells us in Luke 8:11 that the seed is the Word of God. The seed of the Word of God is what empowers us not to sin. The Psalmist attests to this truth:

Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Psalm 119:9, 11

Why The Battle Against Sin

The devil strives to keep us in sin for three major reasons Firstly, he wants to keep you in the outer court perpetually where you will have no access to revelation.

And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: Mark 4:11

Being without because of sin (Isa. 59:1-2) makes you a victim of frustration. The devil hates for you to go beyond the second veil, where revelation for your shining is located (Heb. 9:2-4). He wants you to remain in sin, which he knows God hates, so you won't have access to God and revelation in His Word.
Secondly, you must fight to win the war against sin; otherwise, you will be robbed of divine presence. Nothing makes a difference like divine presence. Jesus could only do exploits here on earth because He carried divine presence.

...Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. John 3:2

How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. Acts 10:38

And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. John 8:29

Even the apostles carried divine presence, so signs were a natural thing with them:
And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. Mark 16:20

No one ever made a difference in life without divine presence. and the way to secure it is to do that thing that pleases Him — live a righteous life. The devil knows that God is angry with the sinner everyday (Ps. 7:11), so he strives to keep people in sin, so they will incur the wrath of God.
You must strive to win the war against sin, so you can also carry divine presence always. Note that divine presence, not Moses' rod, was what parted the Red Sea. Joseph also prospered in slavery and prison because of divine presence (Gen. 39:2, 21).
A third reason you must strive to win the war against sin is that losing will disconnect you eternally from God. Below is what you stand to gain or lose from winning the war against sin:

He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolater, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Revelation 21:7-8

Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. Revelation 22:14

Hell is not meant for men, but people unconsciously choose to go there (Matt. 25:41). But you must win the war against sin, so you can abide with your Father God forever.
