DON'T DRINK THE POISON !

DON'T DRINK THE POISON ! I want to be clear about this. When I say I repeated, I didn't mean I beat myself up and wallowed around in regret over what I'd done. I didn't bawl and squall and say, "Oh, Jesus, I'm so sorry. I'm such a dog. I'm just no good. I'm so unworthy." That's not repentance, it's self-condemnation and doesn't do anyone any good. Not you. Not God. Not the person you've wronged. So, don't ever approach repentance that way. Instead, follow the instructions God gave us in (1 John 1:9) "if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Simply say, "Lord, I confess this sin to You in full confidence that as my Advocate and High Priest Jesus before the Father, You forgave me and cleanse me of all unrighteousness. I know You love me, Lord Jesus. I know my heavenly Father loves me and I believe that, right now, your blood is watching me from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet. I will never claim that sin again. It's not mine anymore. It's gone, and I am forgive." Now, many believers will rehearse that sin over and over again; I just repeated what God said: to the Lord Jesus and The Holy Father. Every bit of my confession is full of the Word so therefore it is full of faith. You might still feel guilty. Your emotions may feel like a hammer was dropped on them. But don't be moved by that. Remember you are supposed to walk by faith not by feelings not by sight. Just believe The Word of God. Your confession of the Word of God is your confession of faith: command those symptoms of condemnation to leave you, and go on your way rejoicing in Jesus. Every time the thought of that sin comes back to you, put it down by faith. Remember, "The Word is near the even in your mouth and in thy heart, that is the Word of Faith which we preach. That if thou shalt confess the Lord Jesus; you do understand that Jesus is the Word and the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us ! So, after a While your consciousness and emotions will be purged of it. You'll find that faith in the truth of God's forgiveness has made you free. Don't wait, like I did until the silt starts to piled up in your soul before you start repenting. The minute you step out of love, repent right then. Don't put it off until you can get away and take time to pray about it. Stop immediately and say, "God in the Name of Jesus, forgive me. I repeat. I refuse to go that way. I received Your forgiveness and get right back on the path of love right now.
