.He is a loving Father to all believers (Ephesians 1:2;
Creator, Almighty, all present. There is no stain of evil or impurity in God: “God is light; in him there is no darkness at all” (1 John 1:5; see also Psalm 12:6; 19:8).
We will discover that God never changes (Malachi 3:6; James 1:17), that He is all-knowing, all-powerful, and always present everywhere (Psalm 139:7–10; Hebrews
Thanks God for the prayers that he answered.
What is sin ?
Break relationship
What is sin ? Think about it.
Killing stealing gossip and the rest
Not so
That's the fruit of sin
What is sin ?
they are guilty of sin because they don’t believe in me.”Jesus
“listen! What does the Lord your God really want from you? The Lord your God wants you to respect him and do what he says. He wants you to love him and to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.”
â€â€Deuteronomy‬ â€10‬:â€12‬ â€ERV‬‬
Do you love God ?
Romans‬ â€7‬:â€25‬ â€AMP‬‬
“We know that the law is spiritual, but I am not. I am so human. Sin rules me as if I were its slave. I don’t understand why I act the way I do. I don’t do the good I want to do, and I do the evil I hate.
But I am not really the one doing the evil. It is sin living in me that does it.
Yes, I know that nothing good lives in me—I mean nothing good lives in the part of me that is not spiritual. I want to do what is good, but I don’t do it.
So if I do what I don’t want to do,
Then I am not really the one doing it.
Who is then doing the evil. sin
Sin
It is the sin living in me that does it.”
â€â€Romans‬ â€7‬:â€14‬-â€15‬, â€17‬-â€18‬, â€20‬ â€ERV‬‬
“But I am not really the one doing the evil.
It is sin living in me that does it.”
â€â€Romans‬ â€7‬:â€17‬ â€ERV‬‬
Notice that sin is in the thoughts, it's in the desires, and it's in the cravings of the human heart. Sin spread through the mind, the will, and the heart. The thoughts, desires, and affections that we all have are corrupted by sin.
â€â€John‬ â€16‬:â€9‬ â€
saying that sin is unbelief, meaning you don't believe in God, don't believe the word of God.
If we don't believe Jesus, will we do what He says?
If God whispers in your ear and says Turn left
And we go right. that's sin we place ourself as God
Why ?we think we know, more than God .rebellion or just disobedience
And that in itself leads to all these other things:
Then were doing things that you don't want to do
How do we feel?
And then I started to do, the things like ,hate fornication, lust,gossip, suicide, I drink too much wine, cheat, jealousy etc we feel guilt,bad empty ,
disconnected ,lonely depressed etc
Then were doing things that you don't want to do, that means it's not You
if you did do things what you wanted, like, for example,
helping a old person to cross the street
Eating a lovely meal,giving to the poor.
Gathering to worship God we feel clean satisfied, good happy etc
The things we don't want to do but we do them how do we feel?
Bad we feel guilt,empty ,
disconnected ,lonely depressed etc
why?
It's not us.it's sin that does it
it is sin and the devil causing this the bad we do.
and that results in death.
Prayer Points:
All our thoughts are evil, our hearts are deceiful. That's why people follow their heart. When you follow your heart and do whatever you think, it seems this is the result and the by product of your life in emptiness. You are an imperfect person trying to live perfectly, so you continuously fall.
. So when you look at yourself, your thoughts and heart tell you, I am a Sinner?
All of your thoughts are only evil; they always go against the word of God.
What does the word of God say again about our thoughts?
He has perfected forever them that are sanctified.,
“With one sacrifice Christ made his people perfect forever. They are the ones who are being made holy.”
â€â€Hebrews‬ â€10‬:â€14‬ â€ERV‬‬
“Without faith no one can please God. Whoever comes to God must believe that he is real and that he rewards those who sincerely try to find him.”
â€â€Hebrews‬ â€11‬:â€6‬ â€ERV‬‬
“Christ entered the Most Holy Place only one time—enough for all time. He entered the Most Holy Place by using his own blood, not the blood of goats or young bulls. He entered there and made us free from sin forever.”
â€â€Hebrews‬ â€9‬:â€12‬ â€ERV‬‬
Jeremiah 31:33 Then he says, “I will forget their sins and never again remember the evil they have done.” Jeremiah 31:34”
â€â€Hebrews‬ â€10‬:â€9‬-â€10‬, â€14‬-â€17‬ â€ERV‬‬
2Thessalonians 3:3 says the Lord is faithful and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one .I’m not gonna focus on what the enemy is doing and allow panic, worry to invade my heart. I’m gonna celebrate Gods faithfulness And I’m gonna rejoice always and allow his strength and protection to take hold of ME FIRST
It’s the faithfulness of the Lord that keeps us from ever being under pressure, negative (feeling,sad sick;lonely etc) because Jesus is not dependent on us even if we completely miss it. It doesn’t change who God is for us loving,kindness,merciful good etc
I’m gonna rejoice always and allow his strength and protection to take hold of me.
Thanks be to God [for my deliverance] through Jesus Christ our Lord
I am the righteous of God in Christ JESUS
I am Holy God said
