Past Forgiven Sins are Gone Forever

To hang onto guilt about past forgiven sins is the same as not believing God when He said He forgives those who repent and their sin is gone and forgotten.

If anyone wants to hold past forgiven sins against us they should not be allowed in our circle of friends because only the devil would perpetuate something that no longer exists.

John 8:44

"You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning

1Peter 5:8

"Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour."

2 Corinthians 11:14

"And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies."

Those who listen to the gossipers about our past forgiven sins are in league with the devil and enabling the gossiper. Wicked people enjoy believing things about us that are not true, it makes them feel superior. Their judgment is coming if they do not repent of their hatred.

Gossipers will make guesses about others based on their jealousy and desired belief about them to elevate themselves, they are wicked and not worthy of response or attention.

James 4:7

"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."

2 Timothy 2:26

"And they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will."

Amen!!!

Count it all Joy!!!!

We desire happiness, health, wealth and lots of friends who love us, but this is not real life for most born-again believers.

When we are going through a Job experience we can remain faithful to the Word of God allowing His principles to carry us through knowing He already knows our plight and has the answers.

And most of all our trials allow us to learn good lessons from all the difficulties we must endure. The lessons are more important than getting what we want our own way.

James 1:2-8 "2 Consider it all joy, my brothers and sisters, when you encounter various trials,

3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.

4 And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

6 But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.

7 For that person ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord,

8 being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways."

Praise God He is coming for His church soon.

No One in the Body is More Important Than Anyone Else

If anyone thinks they are more important or above others in the body of Christ they are sinning in their attitude and in their heart.

God has many personalities in His church and all are needed. We cannot have formulas for evangelism because we don't know what the Holy Spirit may be doing and His ways are limitless.

1 Corinthians 12:15-26

15 If the foot says, “Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason any less a part of the body.

16 And if the ear says, “Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason any less a part of the body.

17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole body were hearing, where would the sense of smell be?

18 But now God has arranged the parts, each one of them in the body, just as He desired.

19 If they were all one part, where would the body be?

20 But now there are many parts, but one body. 21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; or again, the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.”

22 On the contrary, it is much truer that the parts of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary;

23 and those parts of the body which we consider less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor, and our less presentable parts become much more presentable,

24 whereas our more presentable parts have no need of it. But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that part which lacked,

25 so that there may be no division in the body, but that the parts may have the same care for one another.

26 And if one part of the body suffers, all the parts suffer with it; if a part is honored, all the parts rejoice with it."
