1025 entries for this category: My Friends, I have been a Christian my whole life, but in recent days I found myself looking back at my life and realising that in certain areas of my life, I had fallen away and done things which the world may accept, but Christian life does not.
I prayed to God repeatedly and asked for forgiveness, and although I have no doubt that he forgave me, I felt as though I could do more. I went to church and recommitted my life to the Lord. It was a beautiful, life-changing experience. Since then, I have been in constant prayer to God becasue I still feel bad about low places which I allowed myself to fall into, and today I was praying and God spoke to me. He said:
"You did these things because of your curiosity, and the enemy used the opportunity to draw you in. You have been a threat to him always and he took that chance to strike you. But, I have forgiven you. Do not allow your guilt to give him something else and keep you from me. Do not try to understand why you sinned, but rather, do not sin in those ways again and you will stay pure always."
It was a beautiful thing. It was humbling to feel so blessed in that moment and I take it with me. Has anyone else ever had trouble letting go of past transgressions?

Pressing Towards The Mark In this world there are two forces. One is that of the Lord our God, which is force which directs us and pushes us towards God's purpose and the destiny he has in store for us. The other is that of the enemy.
Jesus will tell you that you are forgiven, no-matter what sins you have committed. Satan will tell you that you are discusting and you have gone too far to ever be accepted by God again.
Jesus will tell you that you are his people and he will love you and carry you through all of life's problems. Satan will tell you that you alone, and that you will never have the strength to recover.
Jesus will tell you that greater is he who is within you, than the one who's in the world!
Who will you listen to? Â
Consider the circumstances surrounding your emotions when you ask God for forgiveness.  Often even though the Lord has set you free and forgiven you, you will continue to feel condemned and filthy. Why is this? You see, God forgives,but Satan condemns. Revelations 4:12 calls Satan the "accuser of the bretheran". He would love nothing more than to make you feel unworthy, but when Satan says you are unworthy, Jesus says:
“But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7)
This is a situation which is merely an example of the struggles which Christians must sometimes face. My friends, we are in a battle which the enemy has no intention off losing. They will attempt to stumble you at any opportunity, so be aware of the their tricks. Â
It's not always going to be easy to receive God's mercies and it's not always going to be easy to fight the enemy, but rest assured that Jesus Christ has already gone before us and made a victory for us. Fight side by side with the Lord.
Even in Paul's letter to the Philipians, he describes the struggle to move forward from sin and to proceed into righteousness:
"Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." (Philipian 3:13-14)
So take heart, for we are not perfect, and although God is well aware of this fact, we can make it our everyday goal; to try to live as a Chrisitan should. We must live with dignity, strength, logic, wisdom, love and a peace of spirit. I leave you with Jesus' final words to us in the flesh.
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." (John 14:27)
