REPENTANCE...THE BATTLE...THE CHOICE...THE REWARD!


REPENTANCE

THE BATTLE...

THE MOMENT WE REALIZE THE BATTLE IS NOT OURS TO WIN AND IN FACT THE BATTLE HAS ALREADY BEEN WON AT THE CROSS...WE ARE ON THE ROAD TO FULL RECOVERY...VICTORY...AND OVERCOMMING AND TRUE REPENTANCE!


Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.


Jas 4:1 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?

VICTORY IN SINGLE HANDED COMBAT AGAINST ..."SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS IN HIGH PLACES"....AND...."THE LUSTS THAT WAR IN OUR MEMBERS"...IS AN ILLUSION . WE ONLY THINK WE ARE WINNING WHEN IN FACT APART FROM THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE VICTOR...JESUS CHRIST...WE WILL LOOSE THE BATTLE AND THE WAR EVERY TIME.

THE CHOICE...


WITHOUT FAITH, THE CHOICES THAT WE MAKE WILL ONLY CONSIDER THE FLESH AND WHAT WE THINK IS BEST FOR THE FLESH AND THE END RESULT WILL ALWAYS BE CORRUPTION...Gal 6:8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruptionn; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

OUR CHOICES WE MAKE WHILE IN THE ACT OF REPENTANCE MUST INCLUDE SETTING OUR AFFECTIONS ON THINGS ABOVE...BEING KINGDOM MINDED INSTED OF FLESH MINDED IS ESSENTIAL...WE MUST REMEMBER THAT WE CANNOT FIX OUR FLESH WITH OUR FLESH

1Jn 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

Deu 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:


THE REWARD...


Rev 14:1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.


Rev 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

Rev 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels

Rev 17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.


Repentance...The Battle...The Choice...The Reward.... is a personal observation from my own walk. My HOPE AND PRAYER IS THAT FOR ANYONE WHO IS IN BATTLE WITH SERIOUS SIN AND IS AT WAR WITH THEM SELVES ....STOP...AND REALIZE THE BATTLE IS NOT YOURS AND THE WAR HAS ALREADY BEEN WON AT THE CROSS . OUR CHOICES WHEN MADE WITH FAITH WILL ALWAYS YEILD VICTORY...AMEN
