When did you finally realize that you were lost and without God’s grace?

When did you realize that you needed God to lead and guide you into truth?

When did you realize that He is the way, the truth, and the life, and that you were lost and in need of a Savior?

Do you remember your turning point when you decided to follow Jesus?

Repentance is a gift, but it can be lost if one refuses to follow the still small voice in their heart. There is no turning back. “Thou none go with me yet I will follow.”

Your worst enemy is not another person persuading you to take one more drink, try something new, or go somewhere out of God’s Will.

It is the voice from the enemy urging you to justify sin, quench God’s voice, ignore His leading, and go your own way, believing it is God’s way.

Justifying sin and believing it is the worst thing you could ever do! Many have fallen away from holiness because of this one thing that leads to apostasy.

I remember when I was told that my previous marriage was of God. All I had to do was ask God for forgiveness and stay in the marriage, but I couldn’t believe it.

By the grace of God, I chose to hold on to the conviction I received through reading The Word of God.

I even tried to leave The LORD and go back into the world so I could hold on to this sinful relationship that began from adultery. But God had His hand on my life and would not let me go.

When one gets emotionally involved with someone who is married, that is the root of an adulterous relationship, even if they were separated and divorced!

The enemy could be using you to be the final decision to dissolve the marriage. It could never be true love from God!

Many believers live in sin, unmarried and engaging in fornication, yet they justify and believe it is God’s will.

This is deception. If you can believe one lie from the enemy, he has you in his snare, leading to a significant falling away from God’s saving grace.

There is no sacrifice for willful sin, as God paid the price to redeem your life. However, if you choose to live a life of sin, there is no more sacrifice.

Many have received repentance and turned even from this, but not all have truly repented.

Many are called, but few are chosen to walk all the way with The LORD.

The time is too critical to dabble in sin to appease the flesh. Today is the day to choose life and not death.

Cry out for God’s grace to follow Him once again wholeheartedly. Choose today who you will serve and dwell in His grace. Realize how important this is, as this is the day of grace awakening.

Prayer

Father, pour out Your gift of repentance and restore holiness to Your body.

I pray that You will bring to light any area where we chose to believe a lie and set us free to walk a life of holiness and truth.

Set us free from any deception where we were even falsely taught Your word.

Set us free from any snare from the enemy in Jesus’ Name!

Whenever He could He would come apart from the busyness of the world so that He could quiet Himself before The Father, for that is where He received direction and strength to carry out His will.
