Are you struggling in your Christian walk daily?
Do you want to break free of a sinful stronghold
in your life? Do you want to make that 180 and
follow Christ for all your days? Well, today's
message is all about habitual sin part two. Today's
main scripture is 1 John 3, verse 8 through 9.
The one who practices sin is of the devil, for
the devil has been sinning from the beginning
of time. The Son of God appeared for this purpose
to destroy the works of the devil. No one who
has been born of God practices sin because his
seed remains in him, and he cannot sin continually
because he has been born of God. So, God sees
a path that will destroy us in due time and he
warns us again and again and again and so forth.
Sin is the root cause to all evil and the devil
has been sinning and rebelling against God from
the beginning of time. So there is a root that
calls us all to sin. Find the root cause. And
once we find that root cause, we must pray urgently
on our knees and make it a daily lifestyle to
fight on our knees. Put the devil to shame, because
when we remember who we are and whose we are,
we will confess and repent wholeheartedly, and
Christ will break the strongholds in our life.
Now our second scripture is 1 John 1. verse 9.
if we confess our sins he is faithful and just
to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from
all unrighteousness. we must admit, confess,
acknowledge our wrongdoings to him in confidence
knowing that he is listening and he will give
us his strength his courage his peace to endure
because every day we face inner conflict within
ourselves. When someone loves you and you know
that they love you and they ask you to stop doing
something because it is hurting you and they
see it, you stop. because your actions are not
only harming you, but the people you love around
you. So when the Holy Spirit convicts us and
tells us to stop because it's breaking His heart
and hurting you in the process, why don't we
surrender to Him? Because if we surrender to
Him, we have to let go of everything. And true
repentance is a full 180. Also, Christ is willing
to forgive us. our last final scripture is Galatians
6 verse 1 through 2 brothers and sisters if someone
is caught in a sin you who live by the spirit
should restore that person gently but watch yourselves
or you also may be tempted so this is between
you and the good lord talk to god about the sinful
habit that you have Our points today are, one,
We must stop and ask through the discernment
of the Holy Spirit, why do I feel fine choosing
to live in bondage to this habitual sin? And
we must deal with this because we have to deal
with the cause before we deal with the effect.
True repentance. We also have to be willing to
surrender ourselves to Him, choosing obedience.
Are we willing to let go? Accountability. So
are we willing to deal with our sin, confront
it, confess it, deal with it, repent? So if you
have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ,
then this message will help you. But if you don't
have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ,
then I invite you to give your heart to the Lord
today. To receive him into your heart, go to
Romans 10, nine through 10. It says that if you
confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe
in your heart that God has raised him from the
dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one
believes onto righteousness and with the mouth
confession is made onto salvation. If you said
this prayer with sincerity, you are saved and
now have eternal life with Jesus. You are saved
from all your sins. Pass. present and future
sins you may commit. This truth is not a free
past to sin anytime. Instead, Jesus gives you
power over all wrong choices and empowers you
to spread the gospel to others. You are saved
forever and your name is written in the book
of life!
