If we keep sinning after we are born again

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 

 

Revelation 3:5  (Jesus says)

 

He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before MY Father, and before HIS angels.

 

We overcome by allowing verses of scripture to overcome our flesh and we choose to do those scriptures rather than doing that which the flesh wants to do.

 

Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 

 

29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

 

30 For we know HIM that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge HIS people.

A Christian is changed by the power of the Word of God.  He no longer does those worldly sins that he once did.

 

And Paul tells us if a "brother in Christ" does those sins, put him away from us though he says he is a Christian.

 

I Corinthians 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. 

 

13 ... Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

Recently a woman in our church group asked me to forgive her for "lashing out" (railing) at me.

 

I replied:  I do forgive you ... but you are still a "railer".

 

Jesus said to the woman taken in adultery: "Go ... and sin no more."

 

This woman in our church group who is a railer, has been a railer as long as I have known her, since 1980.  

 

I have corrected her many times and she will settle down for a season only to rise again railing at me, usually when I bring godly correction to her as an apostle and prophet of Jesus Christ. 

 

By doing this she fights against the ministries God has ordained me to do, apostle & prophet.

 

If you should gain 100 pounds of weight, You might be sorry, but you will still have to take actions to deal with that weight.

 

I have found if I want to make changes, I need a scripture to live by.  When I keep that verse before me day and night doing that verse for weeks every day, it becomes a part of me and eventually I can overcome my flesh.

 

Joshua 1:8  This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

 

The apostle Paul said ... I can do all things though Christ (the Word) which strengtheneth me.  

 

Philippians 4:13 

 

So take that word that is brought to you by the Holy Spirit, and do that Word and keep doing it as long as needed to get that word to be a part of you and change your behavior.
