Truly I wish to die and be with the Lord. Living here eats me up and I feel the weight of my sin every day. I just want to be free from evil and dwell in peace with God forever.
Cosmic Waffle Hello,
Why do you feel the weight of sin every day ? Notice I did not say "Your"
There is ONLY 2 reasons why this could be.....
One would be of couorse you have not ever repented of them AND gone to the Father and asked Him to forgive you of your sins and tresspass's and to cleanse you of all righteousness.
Then by FAITH received your forgivness and your cleansing of all unreigheousness.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*OR*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
You are allowing our enemy the devil keep you in bondage over things that do not even exist any place other then in the mind of the devil and YOUR MIND if you choose to keep them there.
Saying things like I am just an old sinner saved by grace is not being humble before the Lord.
See YOU can NOT be both...Either you are a sinner or you are saved by Grace.
When we choose to allow sins to weight us down or waller in them and carry them with us all the time..well it is as we are saying that the price that our Lord Jesus OUR "CHRIST" paid for us is not good enough......I was shown this a long time ago and it did open my eyes.
Jesus paid a high price for us.....He took on ALL THE SIN for all time upon Himself.
He made the way for us to be able to go freely and boldly unto the throne room any time we want. He made it so we can be washed by His blood and be cleansed, cleaner then any clean you can imangine and be free from SIN.......He paid our price for us......
Now then if I was to go around feeling the weight of "sin" that He already took care of, well I am saying what Jesus did was not good enough to take my sins away....
It is easy to get tired and want to just get out of this sinful place called the world. I agree with that 100 % however........feeling the weight of SIN in this life is not something a born again believer has to do..We are not supposed to and if we truly honor God, then we wont...
Now then simply tell the devil where to get off and the Father Loves You and your sins are forgiven and forgotten. They are not just forgotten but they are destroyed. Y0ur case has been esponged and the sponge was full of the Blood Of Jesus.....End of story !!
Now live like it.....act like it......walk in the freedom Jesus purchased for you and stop allowing the father of lies, the big deceiver who cons christians into buying his lies to take a flying hike.
Cast him down brother.....Jesus already defeated him for you.....put him under your foot and live free from the weight of stuff that does not exist any more......
Have a blessed and peaceful week
Jim
