Lets declare and establish our Identity in Christ according to:
Rom 6:6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. (NKJV)
I am new in my spirit, I am like Christ in my spirit. My soul ( thoughts, will and emotions) must now be renewed to come in line with my spirit. My soul is no longer a slave to sin.
