Walking According to the Promises of God

When we trust in Christ we feel devastation at times, but we do not walk according to those feelings we walk according to His promises and what we know about Christ Who lives in us.

When we learn to ignore our feelings and agree with God about truth we will not give into temptation to do what does not please God.

Many times in my younger years I operated according to my feelings and it was a disaster waiting to happen. It was God's grace that prevented me from destroying my life, His mercy and His provision that directed me back to the narrow road.

All of us who are authentically born again can remember times when it had to be God Who protected us when we messed up, His love is greater than our mess ups and it is His love that brings us back to obedience to Him.

Never allow the devil to convince you God never helped or changed you, he wants to discourage and distract, but God will never allow us to accept the accusation fo the devil.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 "9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals,

10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor those habitually drunk, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.

11 Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God."

We are able to say, yes this was us but now we belong to God and nothing will deter us from what He has called us to be and do.

Remember this part of that passage: "11 Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God."
