THERE IS SIN, THEN, THERE IS SIN...

There is sin, then, there is sin! Some sins are unconscious, some are 'consciously' done, repeatedly! Like the Man who is prominent in his Church, and LOVES to let the world know he is a Christian (true of other religions too), then, lives in 'conscious' promiscuity, cheating not only on his Wife, but, his girlfriend, and with as many Women as he is attracted to, or can score! Of course, there are Women, doing the same! The same is true of the drug addict, who 'consciously' HAS to get high again, again, again, and the list goes on! These people KNOW that their actions are 'conscious' sins, but, they believe they are in their rights, as Christians, to live in 'conscious' sin...

Unconscious sin, is erring, 'conscious' sin is as defiant, and IS against THE LORD! Granted, SOMETIMES, a person is SO far gone in their addictions, that they are STUCK, yet, IF they were FAITHFUL TO THE LORD, and PRAYED, and TRIED, they could OVERCOME, abstain, and be cleansed. THE LORD GAVE us THE HOLY SPIRIT as a HELPMATE, as a DIRECT LINE OF COMMUNICATION with HIM!!! 'Conscious sin is an indication of pride, which is that which *GOD* detests in Mankind, and leads to unaligned behaviours, and is evidence of carnality, not spirit...

I have had my addictions ('conscious' sins) too, and DID OVERCOME them, permanently, because I LOVE HIM, and because I LOVE myself enough to want to be cleansed of the world's hold on me! It wasn't easy to do, but once I ACKNOWLEDGED my wrongs, it wasn't too difficult to correct them! Once I moved away from where I was living, just like that!, because the influences were SO strong that IF I had stayed I might not have been successful in overcoming! Sometimes we HAVE to make dramatic changes in order to succeed, and this applies to MANY areas of life, growth, and development, especially for the Devout...

Satan, the enemy of *GOD*, and Mankind, USES our weaknesses, and addictions to harness, chain, and bind us! This deceiver tells us MANY falsehoods, and lies to us, TO convince us that we CAN do anything we want, and remain in *GOD*! There IS a trace of truth in his lies, and this is what we cling to, IF we lack in knowledge, and understanding OF THE LORD'S WILL, and WAYS...

When we claim CHRIST, we REPENT, WHICH MEANS, a CHANGE OF HEART TOWARDS sin! We SEE sin for what it is, and for the damage it does to us, and HOW it is against THE LORD! We have a circumcision OF THE HEART, that leaves us FREE of 'conscious' sin, because we are ALIGNED, RENEWED, and KNOWLEDGEABLE OF HIS WILL, and WAYS...

EACH day is a NEW beginning with *GOD*! One CAN make things right TODAY, before it is too late, and their window of opportunity is closed forever, as we DON'T have ANY idea of when we will breathe our last! Today IS THE DAY OF THE LORD, and it IS time to reconcile with HIM, BY taking up our cross, and HIS yoke, and following IN HIS footsteps, in mind, heart, body, and soul!!!

THE LORD FORGIVES those who TURN TO HIM! HE is NOT interested in lipservice, or feigned allegiance, HE is seeking those that 'consciously' seek HIM, and whom KNOW BY TURNING to HIM, they are walking on SACRED ground!!!

CHRIST told the masses that murderers, and prostitutes were entering HEAVEN before them; HE was referring to the FACT THAT THEY ACKNOWLEDGED their sin, and worked to CORRECT it! This was NOT an opening of permission to BE contrary to HOLINESS, it was a statement of their CHANGE OF HEART TOWARDS SIN IN HIS name, FOR HIS GLORY! They GAVE HIM their allegiance, and committed TO HIM; leaving the egocentric, needy, flesh behind, IN FAVOUR OF HIS FAVOUR!!!

We are ALL sinners, YES; we ARE born into sin, and WILL die in sin, YET, HIS people WILL have come to terms with sin, and WILL have made THE EFFORT to ABSTAIN from 'conscious' sin, in the best of their ability, THROUGH HIM, THE HOLY SPIRIT, HIS WILL, and WAYS, WHICH, TAKES knowledge, understanding, wisdom, LOVE, FAITH, and the WILL to DO HIS WILL! OBEDIENCE to *GOD* WAS EXEMPLIFIED BY CHRIST JESUS FOR us to follow! HE COMMANDS OBEDIENCE, thus, knowledge, and understanding HAVE to be in place!!!

HE, Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire (MATTHEW 3: 12)...

Christians are Called to be the salt of the Earth, the reflections of HIS LIGHT, a Royal Priesthood, and to BE HOLY, because HE IS HOLY! HE says that NOT everyone who comes to HIM on THAT DAY OF DAYS, and says, "LORD", will be acknowledged, or saved, instead, ONLY those whom HE KNEW, and SAW working THROUGH their Salvation with fear, and trembling!!!

Be CAREFUL of what you believe, for the enemy, and his workers, ARE in the Churches, and in the mouths of Teachers, and HAVE left most with the impression just as was given to Eve in THE GARDEN! Again, I have to say, this isn't a time to party, the REAL party is for the FAITHFUL, who HAVE overcome, and whom HAVE followed HIM TO the best of their abilities! HE says that there are Shepherd's that lead the flocks to their own death, and IF one HAS the knowledge, and understanding of THE WORD, one can SEE the TRUTH, and WISDOM in this very profound statement...

And again, IF you are in 'conscious' sin, TURN TO HIM, repent, correct, and STAY IN THE WORD; REMAIN FAITHFUL TO THE LORD, and KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON, as WITH HIM, there is ALWAYS LOVE, HOPE, GRACE, and MERCY; HE IS JUST GOOD LIKE THAT! PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME, and WORSHIP HIM! REJOICE IN HIM, and THANK HIM! PRAY continuously, that HE DELIVERS!!!
