Dedicated to my husband’s new life in Christ. I praise God for all that only He could have done in our lives. I thank everyone for your unending faithful prayers. We both know that the battle is never over living in a world that is falling. But we have gone this far, now we will run to the finish line!
Don’t be fooled by Satan if at times he whispers in your ear, “you’re not really changed. You know you still have those thoughts. You know you want to, so go ahead, one more time. You know all you have to do is say you’re sorry again.”
I hate Satan and all his whispered lies. It also makes me made that some people can talk and think they walk a perfect road, or one that they didn’t make as many mistakes, or they didn’t do anything that bad. We are ALL sinners, and we ALL FALL short of the glory of God, Romans 3: 23-24. So stop pointing fingers. Judge and be judged, Matthew 7: 1-3. At least some people are humbled enough and want to be “changed” by the power of God alone.
Use God’s written word against him and his voice will become faint. He will never leave us alone because we live in his fallen world, and it is falling fast! God didn’t say to us, “I’ll die for you when you deserve it.” He said, no , despite your sin, and in the face of your rebellion, My Son will still die for you, Romans 5: 8.
Mercy was given to us all. Jesus shows us only His patience is WITHOUT limit. 1 Timothy 2:15 “Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription “The Lord knows those who are His”…. So if you are truly changed, your heart’s desire, and the fight in this life will be to “turn away from wickedness.”
You may question yourself, but don’t question God’s written word. When you make the decision personally, to change from your old life to a new life in Christ. That’s when you truly came to believe in your heart and not just your head, the gospel of Jesus Christ. Then you are sealed by the Spirit of God. It’s not a question, it’s a fact!
Matthew 16:23, People will talk about you, even Jesus had to say to Peter “Get behind me Satan.” Don’t allow Satan and all the people he uses, to steal one precious moment of your peace with God. They will all have to answer to God for judging. Our sinful past no longer exists for those of us who are in Jesus Christ. So tell the enemy to back off. Refuse to look back and move fearlessly forward with our God.
