Have you ever taken a few moments out of your busy life to just think about Salvation? The cost? The price Jesus paid for you? Have you thought about the moment you accepted Jesus, as your Lord & as your Savior? At that moment, you, gave Jesus all your sins, you, were washed white as snow by His Blood. Absolutely Positively clean of sin! Standing in complete freedom. Redeemed fully from the law of sin & death transformed into the law of the Spirit of life & the Grace of Christ! A Glorious time for sure! Now somehow, someway, that Glorious time faded, you haven’t backslid onto that wide-wide road leading to Hell, but the world has offering pleasing sights to those carnal eyes over shadowing the Kingdom of God Eternal offerings, as the present offerings of this world are soever pleasing to your flesh, it began choking off the spirit in you. Oh wait, maybe a pastor is to blame, he talked too much about sin, or possibly not enough. Maybe a friend in the Congregation invited you along to places, even though you knew were wrong to go, but that darn flesh made it feel soo ok and soo good! But, let me be frank, it’s all on you! Yes, on you alone! The power to overcome is within us! 2nd Timothy 1:6 (AMP) For God did not give us a spirit of timidity orcowardice orfear, but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of sound judgment andpersonal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control]. We must, seek for own selves, the Word of God, to apply it, against the flesh as it rises up to allow worldly cares, worldly pleasures to overtake us, drawing us away from the perfect Truth, the overcoming power of God’s Word, in us & around us, keeping us from walking in victory over the world & over sin!
Romans 12:2 (AMP) And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be transformed andprogressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you].
God IS Good ALL The Time...
