It is Possible to stop Sinning (Part 2). I wrote a post yesterday, called, it is possible, to stop sinning. And some said, there is always tomorrow, at a fresh beginning. See how the devil, can lure us in. Who promised anyone, tomorrow my friend.
The truth is just mind blowing. Deceit, is when the wool is pull over your eyes, without you even knowing. It is easy to make, a false truth make sense. That is why, we all need a new, wash and rinse.
So let's try it again.
If we yeah, to the voice of God,
we will not sin.
So I stand on what I said before.
Go and sin no more.
6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also [in the likeness] of [his] resurrection:
6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with [him], that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. 6:8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
6:9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. 6:10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 6:11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 6:12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 6:13 Neither yield ye your members [as] instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members [as] instruments of righteousness unto God. 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. 6:15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? Yes Jesus will, forgive us, for our sins, and comfort our sorrows. But don't continue to sin, cause you think you got tomorrow. That is the wrong mind set. Imagine dying, and facing Jesus, filled with regret.

Good-morning Joe;
Thank you for this word of caution.
It is those who throw caution to the wind
That gets the sucked in by Satan to do His evil bidding.
People please READ the words of God
It will tell you the truth for your own protection
My friend Joe is right
You MUST come to the light
Tomorrow is NOT promised like my friend did state
He is warning you to turn away before it is too late
Like Lazarus when he died, he thought he could just go back and have a brand new start.
My bible tells me those who refuse to listen, will be twice dead plucked up by the roots and all
they will not bear fruit, and their last state will be worse than their first. 11 Peter 2, tells me, like a dog they will go back to their own vomit and like a pig they will wallow in their own mud. John chapter 15 tells me that if I we not abide in Him and His word do not abide in us, we will be cast forth as a branch, and is withered and men will gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they will be burned. God is not mocked. 2 Peter tells me that many will follow in the pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. If God did not spare those in Noah's day and did not spare Sodom and Gomorrah, much more those who have received His Holy Spirit, and have received all the ammunition they need to fight the good fight of faith. For without faith it is impossible to please. Hebrews chapters 6 and 10 tells me what happens to those who turn their back on the Holy Spirit.
Father please let those who have ears hear what you are saying in this hour. Please save the soul that is nearest hell right now, before they die. I am asking with the breath that you have given me in this hour and with the knowledge that You will honor Your Word through this vessel, in the name of my precious
Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Amen.
Thank you Joe

A huge Amen & Amen. 1:18 "Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.

In order to stop sinning, we can't worry about the "tomorrows", or the "next weeks", or the "five minutes from now", or the "five minutes ago". We have to fight each battle as it comes to us. We can't look at past failures or victories, because victory or defeat in the past doesn't determine the outcome of the battle that we have before us. Plus, if we're sidetracked with worry about the battles to come, how could we ever be focused enough to overcome the battles we're in? We're already forgiven! When Jesus says, "Go and sin no more!", His very words freed all people from sin! He gave us the option of not sinning. WE DON'T HAVE TO SIN ANYMORE! We know that God doesn't tell us to do anything that is impossible for us, because that would be too much for us to bear. We also know that God helps us to accomplish anything that He commands us to do.We just have to realize that the battle is already won thru Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. |

That's true Joe. We have all been immersed into traditions that excuse the fact that our Christian Life actually requires a genuine relationship with God, in Christ. If, in complete sincerity and heart felt zeal, I believe that "I" can overcome, or "I" can if God helps "me", then we will never seriously look at what Romans 6-8 is saying. We will forever see ourselves as being under the authority of sin without any real hope of overcoming it...because we see it as something that we still have to overcome! It just doesn't click that the power of sin has already been dealt with in Christ, that "I" have been immersed into Him and therefore my slavery to sin has ended. Sin and the flesh, of course, will never agree with that...that's why it's by faith [trust in what God says is the truth]. I believe that our failures during the process of coming to understand all this, tempts us into searching for interpretations that allow us to remain exactly as we are. Thus we have folks that point to Romans 7 saying: "See! Paul still sinned." Event though the first part of the chapter clearly says "When we were in the flesh..." With Romans 8 saying "But you are no longer in the flesh,..." We can get to the place where we don't want to hear the truth because of fear that we might be wrong or there is something wrong with us. Thanks for the blog Joe! Your brother in Christ,
Craig |
