- Take some time this morning to take advantage of the deliverance, salvation and forgiveness that Jesus offers us.
- He paid a great price to give you this freedom.
- Many times it is easy to go on with our day without examining ourselves.
- Use this time to slow down and examine your life.
- Is there sin in your life that you are trying to coexist with?
- Have you allowed it to remain, thinking that it will not harm you?
- It's like allowing weeds to remain in your yard and thinking that they will not spread.
- If you allow weeds to remain, eventually they will take over your whole lawn.
- Little by little the weeds will dominate.
- It will spread until the life of your good grass is dead.
- Romans 8:13 Tells us that, "through the power of the Spirit you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God."
- We must put to death sin in our lives before it puts you to death, spiritually.
- It's time to pull the weeds!
- There are some things that you Can Not Live with!
- They cannot coexist in your life.
- Colossians 3:5, 8 & 9 says this, "So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don’t be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world. But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language. Don’t lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds."
- These cannot exist in your life!
- verse 8 says, "Now is the Time!"
- Do it now! Get rid of it!
- Greed has to go, Now!
- Being jealous is a real sin and must be cut out!
- Anger must leave, today!
- dirty language must be removed!
- Lying must be done away with.
- Slander and gossip...gone!
- Rage and a bad temper...kick it out!
- You must be intentional!
- You must be drastic!
- You can't sit and wait around hoping that God does it for you.
- It is your job to remove it.
- He has given you the power to get rid of it by His Holy Spirit but you still have to remove it.
- Is there sin in your life that is killing you?
- Kill it before it kills you!
- When it is gone, it will allow you to experience the fullness of God's presence in your life.
- Col. 3:10 says this, "Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him."
- "Know Him & become like Him"
- Remove anything that is not like Him.
- Have a great Tuesday!
