“Do not accept the suggestion of the tempter that you are powerless to break away from evil habits.  Remember, it is not a question of your own power, but when you honestly repent of the wrong-doing and turn to the Lord for divine help to overcome your besetting sin, He will undertake for you.  As you reckon yourself to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord, the Holy Spirit will work in you and through you.  He will cause you to triumph over tendencies toward evil and enable you to live victoriously to the glory of the God who has saved you. ”  Henry A. Ironside

“For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.”  (Romans 6:14)

“…count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.”  (Romans 6:11)
