Where there is Sin

Where there is sin there is grace. Never from the point in time after Christs' death, burial and resurrection  has there been an absense of grace. God forgave, still forgives, and will forgive our sin. He took that upon Himself onto the splintered cross.

Many of us though, take our sin into each day, never addressing it before God. We take that days sin into the next. Can you get to the point where you are not sinning every day? Yes. Are most of us at that stage in our walk with God. No. Many of us sin daily. This should not be, but it is. Yet we do not daily get before God and ask for His forgiveness. Daily we should go before God in our hearts and ask Him to forgive us, asking Him to cleanse our spirit of all unrighteousness. Ask as David did, to search our heart and know us, that there may be no wicked way within. Then as God brings things to our mind to confess, confess those things as sin, asking Him to cleanse us of those sins. Many times over as I do this, pride comes to my mind. I confess pride before Him, and ask Him to forgive me, to wash me of all pride, that I may live humble before Him. Many of those that know my past, know I had a major pride issue. I was so hurt growing up. I went my own way to protect myself, and pride became my closest friend. But I fell so much as the bible talks about because of it. Pride is a sin. It's not something to be proud of. Pride separates you, not only from those you love through your deeds, but separates you from God Himself. He cant help the proud. Matter of fact, the bible says God sets Himself against the proud. So, when you are prideful and things begin to feel tougher, like you're up against the wall, you're really up against God Himself. Wow. Talk about not being able to win! lol. seriously. You cannot win against God Himself.

But. All it takes is asking Him to forgive you. Asking Him to forgive you is an act of humbleness. You're acknowledging you are not God, and He is. Simple but very profound. Knowing this has been my past, it tries to creep up again. Sometimes I dont catch a reaction as pride. But as I have my alone time with God, I dont feel so right before Him. This is the way He has created so I sense the sin between us, so I dont continue in it. That I confess it so He can forgive me and us have true relations again. Just like a friend.

Many of us are walking our own way, even though we have become a Christian.

I urge you to spend time with God right now and ask Him to show you your ways. Again, this will bring up your sin. Confess it. Acknowledge it. He will forgive you and you will be free once more. Dont be discouraged as you do this the first time in a long time if alot of sin comes before your mind. Let it out. Speak it out. And God will get it out!

Be Blessed my friends.

The Breach


The breach is there. The face of horror within ... is there.

The breach is a division, a crack, a separation within your soul. You cant stand to be messed with. You feel weak at times, strong at others. But at all times you do not feel like you can truly do this on your own. You have no one. There's no one to confide in, to help. You take matters in your own hands, knowing you must be able to do something.... just something. Anything. Your brokenness is showing up in the most ridiculous ways. Very erratic at times. You cant help it. Seems as if you could be two people without even thinking it through.

This .... is a life without Christ. A life that is hopeless.

Do you feel this way? Are you trapped within and cant get out?

its simple

Just call on the Lord Jesus Christ and He will show up. He will take this brokenness and exchange it for a real life, a life with hope. A life with light. A life with joy.

If you would like this life.....pray with me

Lord Jesus, I ask you for this life. I ask you for this hope. I want what You can give me. A life of joy. I have so much on me that I cannot shake. I ask You to come into my life and change that. I believe You died to save me from hell. You died to give me life. I confess I have gone my own way all this time. I confess I have walked in sin. You died and I accept Your death in my place. I accept the sacrifice You gave of Your life ..... for mine. I believe You rose from the dead and are alive. I take what You are offering me now. I denounce satan and all his works. I denounce the lifestyle I was leading. Give me a new life. Take what I am and make me new, not fixed, but new. Take the breach in my life and heal me, raising me to newness. I cannot do this on my own. I need You as my Savior. I accept You and what You've done for me. I dedicate my new life to you Lord. Take it and create in me a heart of right standing, a heart that beats for You, God. I want this new life. I give You myself and all I am. I walk, now, for YOU! in Your Name, Jesus Christ.....Amen.

CONGRATULATIONS!

You have just been given new life!

now let me pray over you

Dear Lord, I know the mighty power that you posses. I know the praise that is Yours. You are King. You are our loving Father. Right now, I ask you take this life that's just accepted You and make them whole. Create in them a hunger for your ways, for your life, your word. Place your people around them to minister to their needs Lord. Only you know their lives Lord and their needs. Take them and make their lives beyond cool, Lord. Let them see there has always been love for them. Let them feel your arms around them now Lord, as a loving true Father. We give you praise and honor Lord, for your works are mighty! in Jesus' Name!

please comment so i can continue to pray for you! welcome to the Kingdom of God!
