Sin
Whenever the temptation of sin comes up say:
“I have hidden your word in my heart so that I may not sin against You”
Ps 119:11
We are born again by the spirit and we have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and He convicts us and protects us against sin
Man has a strong resisting power against sin:
The will is now altogether freed and released from the bondage of Satan under the leading desire to do Gods will
Jesus said that if you have been delivered from a evil spirit…the spirit will come back with others if it finds that you are empty, but if you are filled with the holy spirit! This cannot happen!
How to be delivered from your sin:
1. Identify your sin
· Don’t fool yourself – see your sin for what it is
· The sin must be named what it is, it is God provoking and destructive to the spirit, soul and body
· There must be no excuses for the sin otherwise God cannot deliver you from it.
2. Accept that you are at fault
· Recognise your part in the sin
· Admit that you are guilty
· Realise that you have sinned against God and yourself
3. Repentance
· Genuine repentance with a true sorry heart – you cannot fool God!
· Say over and over again “Lord deliver me”
4. Approach God in faith
· Believe that God exists and that He will free you
5. Accept your complete forgiveness
You willingly allow sin to enter the same way you make any other decisions. The Holy Spirit equips your will to resist sin. By constantly doing the will of God you will acquire this ability
Remember:
Desire = Decision = Sin =Death
Matt 5:28 Jesus says
“But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully already committed adultery with her in his heart”
Unclean thoughts:
Unclean thoughts give the devil a grip on your thoughts, and through this process he can actually change you into something else…something perverted – with a twisted mind…you will then be completely separated dorm God
Gal 5:1
‘Do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery’
Do not delay to resist Satan and he will flee from you!
Never entertain memories of past sins. If you have anything in your house or at work that reminds you of past sins hen you should get rid of these things.
Offer your body to God as an instrument of righteousness meditate on Gods word by prayer, seek his face
You will find that you will develop the power and ability to say no to things you could not previously resist.
Guard against people who can tempt you. You will find that a habitual drinker never ants to drink alone. He will always look for someone to drink with hi, and so it is with all your sins
The one who is sinning will always attempt to draw others into the same sin. The devil uses such people as channels to get others to fall and sin.
Avoid that sort of person as far as possible!
You have to make time for fellowship and prayer with the Lord!
