We don’t realize how much we allow sin to control us.

Sin keeps you from doing the good you should do.

Romans 7:20 (KJV) – now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

There are those who try to catch God in a lie.

He does what he says.

He’s not you.

Isaiah 55:11 (KJV) – so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Satan likes to disguise himself.

Watch out for what comes to you dressed up.

It can look just like what you’re looking for.

Matthew 7:15 (KJV) – beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

We have a tendency of pushing people away that are not like us.

Be careful . . . you just may be pushing away an angel.

Just as the winds blow against the currents, so do we fight against God’s will.

The difference . . . you have a choice.

Galatians 5:16 (KJV) – this I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

In baptism, you die to sin, and live in Christ.

Therefore, you haven’t lived, until you’ve died.

There is life after death, in this life.

Romans 6:4,7 (KJV) – therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in the newness of life. For he that is dead is freed from sin.

We are to be forgivers.

Just as you were forgiven by Christ, you ought to forgive others.

Colossians 3:13 (KJV) – forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

We have friends and family that we tell everything.

God wants you to talk to him.

Tell him everything.

Philippians 4:6 (KJV) – be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

A righteous person prayer has great power.

Don’t just pray for yourselves, but for others.

James 5:16 (KJV) – confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

If God is for you, and He gave you all power over the enemy . . .

Noone can stand against you, and nothing can hurt you.

Romans 8:31, Luke 10:19 (KJV) – what shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
