Good morning everyone!
As Jesus died, He took my sin and was punished for it. At the same time, His righteousness was imputed unto me. #justification (past)
But He rose again and prepared a way for us to walk. This world doesn't know this way. It's the way of Christians following Christ, #holiness or #sanctification, dying to self (present).
He also secured our eternity. One day, this body of sin will be put off and the fight over. #HaleluJah! #glorification
Yesterday, I deleted several thousand movies & audio books from my hard drive which kept me #chained to the #SpiritOfThisWorld !
Break free, brothers & sisters. Be filled with the #SpiritOfChrist !
#overcome !
to anyone who is fighting #sin and seeks an encouragement:

May God give you Grace in your time of need!!!
Would be nice to have a face to face talk with that person that is not conscious of any sin.
For my part, I kept reading Jer23 lately: I trust in "The Lord our Righteousness" . Righteousness claimed, I strive for holiness. Not sure if I can reach a state of being unconscious of any sin, but striving can't be too far from the truth...
Hey all,
I'm so sick of church-ianity and it's traditions of men and hypocrisy and haughtiness and hidden sins.
It is better to read the Word alone and earnestly seek to #overcome the world.
Yet, a person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.
I pray that we all will find Christ-like people to have fellowship with and be available for others to find us, too.

#Hymn
O Love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in Thee.
I give Thee back the life I owe,
that in Thine ocean depths its flow
may richer, fuller be.
Thank you kindly, @richardafaherty @LiveChrist for your prayers and encouragement, also everyone who did it without posting. While I fear that '#VanityFair' won't stop sparkling anytime soon, there's a brighter light shining up ahead.
We need to get reminded of our #identity in Christ every once in a while, else we forget. TY
I'm #fighting #against #worldliness again. What is so clear to the mind is so hard for the flesh...
Any sincere prayers are highly appreciated. May God bless you!
to anyone who got carried away by the election:
Dan 4:17: "This is the decree conveyed by the watchers, the verdict declared by the holy ones in order that everyone alive may know that the Most High rules over human kingdoms. He gives them to whoever he chooses...
"
Dan 2:21: "He is in charge of time and history. He removes kings, and he sets kings in place..."
Rom 13:1: "...no one has the power to rule unless God gives permission. These authorities have been put there by God."
rest therein

I love this post from Sinobach and I want to ask a question:
What if you're all alone? What if there are no Christians in your town but you yourself? Are two or three people a requirement to have the Lord's Supper?
What are your thoughts?
2Chr 7:13-15: GOD saying:
"If I were to close shut the sky so there is no rain, or command the locust to devour the land, or send a plague among my people, and if my people who are called by my name humble themselves and pray and return to me, and turn away from their wicked ways,
then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sins, and heal their land.
Now my eyes will be open, and my ears will pay attention to the prayers offered in this place"
Keep reading the story when Peter walked on water. I am ALWAYS a ‘jump out of the boat and get running’ kinda person but God has been speaking to me so much about everyone else who stayed in the boat. The world is full of fear with this pandemic. He CAN calm the storm but what are we doing before He does? We WILL reach the other side... He already said He’ll meet us there! Maybe God is looking to see how much peace we’re sharing with everyone else in the same boat rather than jumping ship 🤷🏻♀️
I wasn't able to figure out this "baptism of the spirit" thing.
What I do know is: "Obedience is better than sacrifice." And: "Whoever keeps on sinning is not of God."
To make that happen, I realised, I'll have to make my home a totally internet-free zone. NOW.
I hope this IS a work of the Spirit. Conviction of sin is his job, alright?
Comments welcome, I have a 32k mobile messenger flat for DD when I get cell coverage in the next town.
And can it be, that I should gain...?
All to Him!
I'll soon be free from every trial
This form shall rest beneath the sod
I'll drop the cross of self-denial
And enter in that home with God
