Am I entertaining sin?
What big sin am I entertaining? If you are thinking about that sin (meaning doing it), you are not meditating in the word day and night – and you are not prospering and not having good success.
I have a friend (not local) that has been praying for a job – he came out of a relationship where he was living and having relations with a woman even though they were supposed to be married – he watches movies with cuss words (the inverse of Romans 10:17 - Fear comes by hearing, and hearing by the words of the devil – cussing is definitely hearing the words of the devil), and he cusses as well without regard, saying cussing doesn’t bother me – (Matthew 12:37 - by your words you are justified, by your words you are condemned), cuss words are condemning words – and he can’t figure out why he can’t find a job – his fountain is trying to bear both kinds of fruit – it doesn’t work.
What ever happened to John 15:7 - If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Everything I have described above, is not abiding in Jesus.
Let me quote Rich Mullins for a moment: The Lord wasn’t joking when he kicked them out of Eden, it wasn’t for no reason that he shed his blood!
What if the sin(s) I am struggling with wasn’t on the list tonight – and its so heavy, I don’t know what to do?
Take a step of faith – say God, I need help, I am struggling with…
The Lord will help you – but you have to be willing to change. Keep confessing the word and come into agreement with what God says and thinks.
Walking in the Spirit
Galatians 5:16 - This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Romans 8:1 - There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
