One of the greatest deceptions the enemy achieves through our sin is he fogs our ability to see the many layers of loss and pain we bring to our own life because of our own sin.
We, in effect, trade heeding the voice of True Love and the atmosphere of heaven for shifting shadows and scratching addictions that leave us feeling empty and alone.
Unless we see the negative effects of our own sin and all the good things we are sacrificing because of it, we will continue to stumble.
When we realize it is our own sin and our own choices that sacrifice our ‘promised lands’ and ‘our destinies’, this should create in us a healthy holy fear that keeps us close to the True Shepherd and away from the sickness of sin.
Sin is sickness of the soul.
Sin is the disconnection from sound wisdom and the LIFE of God.
To choose sin is to drink poison for your soul and your spirit. To lead a lifestyle of choosing sin and rejecting True Love’s voice leads to death and eternal separation from True LIFE.
To come clean is to BECOME CLEAN. For He freely wants to wash and restore His love to us.
To have Jesus is to have everything. To not have Jesus is to lose even that which we think we have.
True Love does not come to make us comfortable in ‘our beliefs’. He comes to deliver us from ‘our lies’.
[Troi Nelson Cockayne]
Matthew 24:24 ... For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Ezekiel 36:26-27 ... A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
Isaiah 1:18 ... Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. ❤
