Ryan B: Free indeed

.

Today i helped Isaac and Jeremy with moving some stuff to Rays place. I really enojed the day and it was great to catch up with my brothers in Christ. Dinner was great, we went to sizzlers where we saw the prophets and the pastor eating as well, and also some others from another daniel, talk about coincidence..lol... anyway I was have been dweling on the grace of God this afternoon and how God has set me free from sin, I wrote the following in my journal and wanted to share it with everyone:

I was thinking this afternoon about my strugle with sin and thinking about a book called " victory over darkness" it says you can't be anything past what you believe. Then I realised God through Jesus Christ has provided a way for me to be free. Romans 6:11-12 (Amplified Bible)
11Even so consider yourselves also dead to sin and your relation to it broken, but alive to God [living in unbroken fellowship with Him] in Christ Jesus.12Let not sin therefore rule as king in your mortal (short-lived, perishable) bodies, to make you yield to its cravings and be subject to its lusts and evil passions
Through Jesus I acn believe because of waht Jesus did I am dead to sin and free from it (and alive to God). This is a promise of God whom we can certainly completely trust. God cannot lie!!! Sure I will still sin but I don't need to live as a slave to it, Christ has set me FREE!!!!

I know this is such a basic thing, but really start believing in yourself that you are dead to sin, you can because through Jesus God says you are!!!

Psalm 63:1-8

Here David is in the wilderness of Judah from his flight from saul. In troubled times will you too look to God and give him praise? Will you look to God and thirst after Him?

A Psalm of David; when he was in the Wilderness of Judah. O GOD, You are my God, earnestly will I seek You; my inner self thirsts for You, my flesh longs and is faint for You, in a dry and weary land where no water is. 2 So I have looked upon You in the sanctuary to see Your power and Your glory. 3 Because Your loving-kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You. 4 So will I bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. 5 My whole being shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips 6 When I remember You upon my bed and meditate on You in the night watches. 7 For You have been my help, and in the shadow of Your wings will I rejoice. 8 My whole being follows hard after You and clings closely to You; Your right hand upholds me.

Psalm 40:1-8

In troubled times, this is a good verse for comfort:

I WAITED patiently and expectantly for the Lord; and He inclined to me and heard my cry. 2 He drew me up out of a horrible pit [a pit of tumult and of destruction], out of the miry clay (froth and slime), and set my feet upon a rock, steadying my steps and establishing my goings. 3 And He has put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many shall see and fear (revere and worship) and put their trust and confident reliance in the Lord. [Ps. 5:11.] 4 Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who makes the Lord his refuge and trust, and turns not to the proud or to followers of false gods. 5 Many, O Lord my God, are the wonderful works which You have done, and Your thoughts toward us; no one can compare with You! If I should declare and speak of them, they are too many to be numbered. 6 Sacrifice and offering You do not desire, nor have You delight in them; You have given me the capacity to hear and obey [Your law, a more valuable service than] burnt offerings and sin offerings [which] You do not require. 7 Then said I, Behold, I come; in the volume of the book it is written of me; 8 I delight to do Your will, O my God; yes, Your law is within my heart. [Heb. 10:5-9.]
