Hebrews 10:32 Remember those earlier days after you had received the light, when you stood your ground in a great contest in the face of suffering.

We all go through trying times – times where our faith is being tested to the limit. During these times, it seems like our change will never come and we’ve been in the storm too long. It’s during these times we have to, on purpose, remember what God did for us in the past. We must recall the time where we were about to give up but, God… God delivered, God healed, God restored, God promoted, etc. The situation or trial may be different but, God and His word remain the same. We have to remind ourselves, if God can do it once, He can do it again. All it takes is one breakthrough moment to meditate on. Focus on the past to prepare for a positive future.

People of God, remember the time.

Previously, we mentioned everyone is not a child of God. We found out there are certain qualifications needed to be a child of God. Those qualifications can be found at: Scriptures of the Day: Children of God Pt. 1.
Most of the time, people want to know why should they become children of God. There is one main benefit or reason for being a child of God: victory.

1 John 5:4 (NIV) For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith.

The word of God declares the children of God receive victory. Every negative, evil, or perverted trap the enemy or world sets is defeated. It’s not defeated because of our strength or might but, it’s defeated because we are children of God Almighty. Any negative situation we face is defeated. Any bad break we encounter is defeated. Any pit we fall into is defeated. By faith it is defeated. Why?…because we are children of God.

People of God, praise the Lord and forget not his benefits especially the benefit of being a child of the King.

Psalm 136:23 Who remembered us in our low estate: for his mercy endureth for ever:

God has an unbelievable amount of patience. In regards to God’s patience, there are two types of people He is dealing with. The first type is “The Blatant” and the second type is the “The Fallen”
1. The Blatant- “The Blatant” is the person who knowingly sins. They knew what they were doing was wrong however, they did it anyway.
2. The Fallen- “The Fallen” is the person who attempts to do what’s right but, continues to make mistakes and sins.
No matter what type of person you are, God still has patience with us.

A form of patience is mercy. Mercy, in God’s eyes, is where we deserve every punishment known to man but, daily, God gives us chance after chance to get it right. To receive this mercy, we have to become children of God by making Jesus Christ Lord and Savior (1 John 5:1). An unbeliever who sins is considered wicked in the eyes of God and nothing else. (I encourage you to make Jesus Lord today.)
This message will not apply to everyone however, if you are “The Blatant” or “The Fallen” don’t get frustrated or give up on pleasing God. Continue to make the adjustments you need to make, and realize God’s patience, or mercy, endures forever.

Be Blessed

Exodus 3:12 And God said, “I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain.”

Everyone gives credit to Abraham for being the Father of faith because he was the first man to take God at His word. Abraham believed and obeyed God without seeing an ounce of a promise. Although Abraham was the first, there are more inspiring examples regarding men of faith. For example Moses. God told Moses to go to a harsh Pharaoh and tell him to let God’s people go. There was no guarantee that Pharaoh was going to let the children of Israel go. Although Moses was hesitant, Moses believed and obeyed God and eventually the children of Israel were free.

Although we cannot predict the future, we have a God who knows all. If we can get to the point where we believe and obey God’s word, the promises of God will manifest.

Stay Blessed!

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

When life beats us up too bad, it seems difficult to trust, believe, and rely on God. We create reason behind why God is allowing us to go through these storms. Most of the reasons we create do not make logical sense. So, eventually some of us conclude that God can’t or won’t handle these problems and we have to handle these problems ourselves. This conclusion has people not trusting God totally; it has people making decisions without consulting God, and it has people trying to do it all on their own without God’s help. This is not the will of God for our lives.

Although we may be going through tough storms, God is still with us. During these storms God desires us to run to Him not run from Him. Like a child runs to their mother, God desires His children to find safety in His arms. Never stop trusting God; always depend on Him.

Do you ever have an idea or a dream, and then before you can seek God about if or when that dream is for you, you dismiss it because you think it is impossible to attain?

Our faith reality includes impossibilities.  Take that desire, dream, vision, or goal to God.  When He confirms, edits, or enhances that dream, begin your faith fight knowing that God will make all necessary provisions for that dream to manifest.  Begin the works that you can do toward the manifestation of that goal, and allow God to work out the impossibilities (the things seemingly out of your control).  But remember to stay in faith and do not be moved by what you see.

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Romans 9:23 Jesus said to him, If you can believe, all things are possible to him that believes.

2 Corinthians 4:13 (Weymouth New Testament) But possessing the same Spirit of faith as he who wrote, “I believed, and therefore I have spoken,” we also believe, and therefore we speak.

When we confess God’s word over our life or situation, it may seem like nothing is happening but, in the spirit realm things are moving. The devil will try to convince us that our confessions are useless and in vain. But, the devil is a liar. Hebrews 4:12 says, the word of God is living and active. The more word we speak into our situation, the more life we give it. Eventually, we and everyone else will see the manifestation of our confessions.

No matter how long it takes, just continue to confess and stay in faith, and expect a change to come.
Be Blessed and Confess.

The Bible says in Psalm 112:3 that wealth and riches are in our house.

Well, we are in our house. When we honor God and delight in His commands, God in return gives us revelation on ideas, concepts, and inventions. These ideas and inventions cause wealth and riches to be in our house.

As Christians, we are to walk by faith and not by sight. So, in regard to this scripture, we are the source of wealth. Before the physical wealth ever manifests itself in the natural, the wealth was already present within us.

Rejoice because the wealth lies within us.

Psalm 112:3 Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.

Psalm 20:4 May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.

Have you ever heard someone say, “You may plan one thing but, God planned another.” That’s not in the Bible. That’s just a religious response that people say when their plans don’t come to pass. Most of the time people’s plans don’t succeed because their plans were never edited by God. If a desire or plan comes into our heart, our responsibility is to run that plan by God. God will give us instructions on how to execute this plan, when to start, or if we should start at all. God’s not obligated to bless something He’s not involved in.

God wants our plans to succeed but, He desires more so that we consult Him in all of our endeavours. Don’t settle for the religious excuse. Apply biblical principles to your plan and watch God bless your life tremendously.
Be Blessed

Luke 1: 31 You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David,

THE PROMISE: The angel, Gabriel, told Mary she was going to give birth to the Son of God. Although Mary could not physically see the promise, in verse 38, Mary received the promise by faith.
-In the word of God there are promises for us (healing, deliverance, prosperity etc.). Although we may not physically see the promise, our job is to receive the promise by faith.

THE PROCESS: Mary had to wait 9-10 months before her promise came to pass.
-With every promise there is a process. We must have patience during this time. Hebrews 6:12 lets us know we receive the promise of God through faith and patience.

THE POSITION: Can you imagine the position Mary was in? Mary was an unwed pregnant woman walking around claiming she was giving birth to the Son of God. Some people may have labeled her as promiscuous while others called her crazy.
-We should expect negativity to come our way once we receive the promise by faith. This negativity is designed to make us question and doubt what God has said concerning our life.

THE PROMOTION: The promise came to pass. Mary had the opportunity to raise the Savior of the world.
-With faith and righteous works, our promise will come to pass.

Work the principles of faith and the promise will come to pass.

1 John 2:17 The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.

1 Thessalonians 5: 16Be joyful always; 17pray continually; 18give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

It is time to seek God for next steps. The reason why we can make confessions and declarations is because we have given God input on our desires. So, we continue to thank God, but we make time to seek God. Ask Him, and remember to listen. While you may or may not hear a booming voice rehearsing your future, we know that God does not author confusion; there is peace in the things of God.

Colossians 3:12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

The scripture implies we should clothe ourselves in compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. God is not going to force these qualities on us and these qualities will not automatically develop in us. We have to do our part and develop these qualities in ourselves.

How do we develop these qualities?

Step 1. Ask God in Prayer.
God’s Word says, whatever we desire when we pray, believe that we received them and we shall have them (Mark 11:24).

Step 2: Acknowledge Opportunities.
Once we ask God for these desired qualities, there will be opportunities to develop our qualities. We must recognize these opportunities when they present themselves.

These qualities must be important to God or else He would not have told us to clothe ourselves in these qualities. If these qualities are important to God, they should be important to us.

Develop! Develop! Develop!

Philippians 2:13 For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.

When we are standing in faith for a promise of God, we’re very mindful about what we do or say because we don’t want anything to affect our promise coming to pass. We pray and read more, consult God before an action, give more, and fast. We do all of this to please God in the hopes that our promise is not delayed.

However, once our promise comes to pass, it seems like we can afford to make a mistake. We have what we want from God so, there is no need to please. We shouldn’t do God like that. The reason God provided the blessing in the first place was so that we honor God with our life even more.

We should strive to continue pleasing God no matter what season we’re in.

Ephesians 5:10 and find out what pleases the Lord.

This is a very simple scripture that says, find out what pleases the Lord. We find out what pleases the Lord by reading His word. It is up to us to find out what pleases God. There is not going to be some magical dust that falls from heaven and lands on us and instantly, we know what pleases God. Take the time to find out the “do’s” in His word.

Our efforts are important in this Christian walk. When we’re about our Father’s business, Our Father blesses our business.
Please God!

** Hint** To find out one main thing that pleases God read Hebrews 11:6.

2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.

Everyone has had to battle a weakness in their life. From pornography, to homosexuality, to alcoholism, to lying we all have had our fair share of battles. However, wherever we are weak, that’s where Jesus provides grace. Grace is the favor of God on our lives in spite of our ways.

In our trying times, we should receive the grace of God to overcome our weaknesses. The greatest testimonies come from our weaknesses. Receive grace and be delivered.

Have you ever watched the TV show Hoarders? Hoarders are people who consume numerous amounts of property but, they never want give anything away. Eventually, their house gets so cluttered until they can’t even function.

Spiritually speaking, some Christians can be hoarders as well. They consume a lot of knowledge, wisdom, insight, and understanding but, they are not willing to share these concepts with anyone else. They know the word of God backwards and forwards but, they don’t want to help their struggling brother and sister. They have all the time to pray but, they never pray for others. People hoard so many things until the Body of Christ can’t function properly.

People of God we have to give. We must use our time, gifts, and talents for the glory of God and to edify each other.

Isaiah 58:10 Feed the hungry, and help those in trouble. Then your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon.

John 16: 8When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment: 9in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me; 10in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; 13But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. 14He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you.

Conviction of sin is for the world (v.9); conviction of righteousness is for believers (v.10).  We are designed like our Father.  We are created to be in His righteous image (Genesis 1:27; John 4:24). 

The Spirit convicts us of righteousness when we fall short so that we can renew our minds (soul) and be more Christ-like. While our spirits have already been made righteous (Romans 5:19), through the continuous renewing of our minds and the supernatural strength of Christ (Philippians 4:13), we can tame our flesh.

2 Corinthians 12: 7b there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
8For this thing I besought the Lord three times, that it might depart from me.
9And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for you: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather boast in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

Most read this passage and assume that Paul is referring to a physical ailment, but according to Isaiah 53:5 and Paul’s unbending faith, Paul would have been healed.

Instead, Paul is referring to weaknesses of the flesh. Those addictions, habits, or tendencies that we pray that God would just remove our desire toward them. But rather, God says He extends grace to those of us ready to overcome and never be deterred by that thorn again. And, we learn that we cannot overcome by will power, but that in our weakness, we choose instead to magnify Christ and we defeat our thorn continuously through God’s power.

Therefore, take pleasure in having the opportunity to defeat the enemy through your obedience to God and reliance on Him.

James 1:2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4 Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

Have you ever wondered why it takes so long for blessings to manifest in our lives when we’re doing everything we know to do right? Could it be the Bible is fulfilling its purpose?

From our prayers to the manifestation of our prayers, there is a waiting period. This waiting period is known as the testing of our faith. Our faith is being tested to see if we continue to believe and stand on the promises of God or not. Verse 4 says, perseverance or patience MUST finish its work so that we may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. This means if we’re still in that waiting period, perseverance may not have finished its work yet. This also also means we may not be fully mature or complete and we may be lacking something.

The waiting period is an opportunity to bring us to greater level of maturity. Some may need maturity in handling the actual blessing, while others need maturity in patience. The point is, before the blessing appears, there is process to produce maturity. Instead of being frustrated or impatient due to the delay, we should ask God “What do you want me to learn during these times?”

Persevere till the end!

James 1:14 Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away.

Temptations come from our evil desires sent by Satan. It doesn’t matter if a person is saved or unsaved, we all will be tempted. If we succumb to these temptations, the devil’s next objective is to bombard us with even more temptations. The next thing you know we find ourselves in a pit of sin. If we try to take the steps to get out, Satan will magnify that pit to the point where some stop trying. If we attempt to turn to God for help, Satan will deceive us and make us feel unworthy to return to the Father.

In order not to allow the temptations to take over our life, we have to nip it in the bud or stop it before it starts. We have to do the necessary things so the temptation won’t spread.
1. We must recognize and acknowledge our temptations.
2. When we’re attacked with temptations, we must send a counter attack through deliverance confessions, prayer, and the renewal of our mind using the word of God.
3. Have an accountability partner. It’s good to have non-judgmental person who can help us, pray for us, and keep us on the right track in life.

At the end of the day it’s up to us. We have to be strong enough to not give in to any temptations the devil throws our way.

Receive Deliverance!

Deuteronomy 30:19 This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live

If we, who call ourselves true Christians, deliberately disobey God and His commandments will that affect our chances to go to heaven? No, because our salvation is not based on works. Our salvation is received by grace through faith in Christ Jesus. Does this mean we get to live in disobedience without consequences? Of course not. If we choose to disobey God and His orders, we reap the consequences of poverty, sickness, and an untimely or tragic death.

Our obedience or righteous works we perform on earth entitles us to the blessing (Deut. 28:1-13). The blessing means prospering in every area of our life (marriage, family, health, finances, peace, etc.). When we choose to disobey God, we’re still saved but, this allows the curse to manifest in our life (Deut. 28:15-68). The curse means an empowerment to fail in every area of our life (failing in our marriage, family, health, finances, peace, etc).

So, the quality of our life we have on earth is up to us. We can choose to obey God and experience the blessing or choose to disobey God and experience the curse.
Choose wisely.
Be blessed.

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

On face value, this verse would seem to mean every time we (Christians) sin, we can ask God for forgiveness and become righteous in the sight of God again. Well, if that were true, that would make 2 Corinthians 5:21 false. 2 Corinthians 5:21 says, God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. Since our righteousness comes from Jesus, the sins we commit will not effect our right standing with God. What 1 John 1:9 means is, the guilty or shameful feeling we may experience in our soul after sinning can be removed with a confession of our wrongdoing. Once we make our confession, we can allow the blood of Jesus to remove our conscious of all unrighteous works (Hebrews 9:14).

As Christians we should not allow the devil to make us feel guilty because of our actions. We are the righteousness of God no matter what mistakes we make. God loves us. There is no sin we can commit that will make God change His mind about us. We are His children and there is nothing no one can do about it.

Be blessed.

Why is it that some Christians make it taboo to speak on money in a positive light? Anytime a Christian speaks on how God blessed them financially, they become a crook in the eyes of the public. It seems like the rest of the world can be blessed and rich but, us Christians have to be content and live on the bare minimum. Where did we get this idea that the more poor we are, the more spiritual we become?

That is not the Word of God.

The wealth God has for His people is immeasurable. There are many verses in the Bible where God desires to bless His people and His people only.
Just to name a few…
Proverbs 13:22 A good man leaves an inheritance for his children’s children, but a sinner’s wealth is stored up for the righteous.

Psalm 37:25 I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread.

Psalm 112:3 Wealth and riches will be in his home. His righteousness continues forever.

Acquiring money honestly is not the only thing God desires for us but, it is one of many. Receive your inheritance and be wealthy.

Romans 6: 14For sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under the law, but under grace.

Romans 8: 1There is therefore now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. 4That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 13For if you live after the flesh, you shall die: but if you through the Spirit do put to death the deeds of the body, you shall live. 14For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Being submitted to God includes utilizing the Helper that God gave us, the Holy Spirit. Rather than pursuing perfection through righteous acts, we choose to accept that through Jesus’ sacrifice (Hebrews 10:14) we have already been made perfect (our spirits). We focus on being obedient to the Spirit to allow our souls (mind, will, emotions) and flesh to align themselves with the third of us that is already perfect.

So no longer frustrate yourself with not ‘getting it right’, and instead put your efforts into obeying the Spirit -asking His permission, relying on His strength, and renewing your mind continuously.

Romans 8: 6For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Romans 6: 1What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 21What fruit had you then in those things whereof you are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. 22But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end everlasting life.

Just as salvation cannot be earned with righteous acts (Ephesians 2:8,9), it cannot be lost with unrighteous acts (except to deny God) or else we would all be in peril (Dr. Creflo Dollar).

But, continuing in sin can have consequences, which is why we choose to make continuous efforts to be submitted to God rather than intentionally sinning with the mindset of, ‘all fall short,’ or ‘God forgives.’ While the fruit of sin is consequence, the fruit of submission to God is peace, love, holiness (Galatians 5:22,23).

James 5:7 Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop and how patient he is for the autumn and spring rains. 8: You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near.

The society we live in could be named “The Microwave Society.” We want things quick, fast, and in a hurry with the least amount of effort as possible. Unfortunately, this is not how the Kingdom of God operates. The Kingdom of God requires its people to have faith and patience (Hebrews 6:12). Faith is the tool we use to access the promises of God. Patience is what we exercise until the promises manifest in this physical world. Patience is not sitting around, doing nothing, like we’re waiting on a bus. Patience means staying consistent in doing the things of God until the promises manifest. We must consistently pray, read/do the word of God, confess God’s word over our situation, along with anything else God tells us to do until our desires come to pass. With faith and patience we can receive everything that belongs to us.
Be blessed!

2 Corinthians 9:6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.

Notice, the word doesn’t say if we sow sparingly, we will reap nothing. It says, if we sow sparingly, we reap sparingly. God orchestrated a plan where even if we sow sparingly, we will reap something.

For those who don’t know, tithes and an offering are mandatory by God (Malachi 3:8-10). Anything else we give is an additional offering. The moments God prompts us to give, are the moments God is setting us up to receive our blessing. And, 2 Corinthians 9:7 says God loves a cheerful giver. So, anytime God places us in a position to give, we shouldn’t look at it as God taking something from us but, look at it as God is trying to give something to us.

Be Cheerful and Give!

Inspired by Pastor Hulon Pearre

Psalm 29:2 Give to the LORD the glory due to his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

Romans 12: 1I beseech you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2And be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Generally, we are very I-driven. We tend to be focused on what we want, how we perform, what we have planned for ourselves, and more. The way to not be so self-involved, is to consistently worship the Lord. He’s awesome, amazing, and loves us; He deserves our praise!

We submit ourselves fully to Him renewing our minds throughout the day so that our souls (heart, mind, and will) are aligned with the Spirit. Then, our flesh must follow. We praise God and we thank Him that we submit every part of us as an offering of praise to Him!!

Have you ever wondered why we speak in tongues or pray in the Holy Spirit? Is it just some gibberish that Christians do or is there a real purpose?

Fact 1: When we speak in tongues, we speak directly to God.
1 Corinthians 14:2 For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries with his spirit.
-Although, no one (including ourselves) knows what we’re saying, God knows and understands everything we say.

Fact 2: When we speak in tongues, we edify or strengthen ourselves.
1 Corinthians 14:4 He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church.
-Speaking in tongues gives us the strength we need to endure the trials and tribulation in our lives.

Fact 3: When we speak in tongues, we declare God’s plan and purpose for our lives to be revealed.
1 Corinthians 2:7 No, the wisdom we speak of is the mystery of God–his plan that was previously hidden, even though he made it for our ultimate glory before the world began.
-Many of us want to know God’s plan and purpose for our lives. God is willing to reveal His plan to us through His Spirit.

Some people may think speaking in tongues is a joke but, as we can see, God has a purpose for this speech. There is no special or specific way to speak in tongues; just speak. When we initially start, it may make us feel silly but, that’s just a trick of the enemy to get us to stop. Continue to speak to God and never lose sight of purpose.

Be Blessed!

Deuteronomy 10:17 For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes.

Our God is great! There is nothing He can’t do. He specializes in impossibilities. Whenever we need Him, He’s right there. He promised never to leave us nor forsake us. Our God is great! He provided a plan for us to have everlasting life. He allows us to be healed before we ever get sick. He gives us the desires of our hearts. Our God is great! He forgives every sin we commit. He loves us unconditionally. He protects us from dangers seen and unseen. Did I mention, our God is great!

Whenever in tough times, think of the greatness of God and know this great God is still in control.

Be Blessed!

James 1:14 but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

When a tempting thought comes across our minds, we should immediately dismiss that thought. By dwelling on that thought, our thought turns into action. Our action produces more action. Ultimately, we’re immersed in a sinful lifestyle and we don’t want to get out or, we don’t know how to get out.

God gave us free will. We have a choice to please God in every way possible or, sin and please our flesh with its lustful desires. God is the source of life. Where sin is present, God is absent. By choosing to sin, we are literally killing ourselves. We are physically removing the source of life (God), from our life, to satisfy our flesh. Our demise may not be overnight, then again, it may be. It only takes one sin to kill…ask Adam and Eve (Gen 2:17). This death all starts with a thought.

Make the choice to live a prosperous, abundant, fulfilled life and sin not.
