We now have a choice to sin or not to sin. The strongholds in our lives that have controlled us in the past no longer have power over us that leads to sin. True repentance is impossible without the working of God within us on a moment-by-moment basis. When we believe in Jesus, the Holy Spirit comes to dwell, not with us, but in us to help guide us and give us the power to overcome sin patterns in our lives and the temptations that we face every day.
