Don't choose the Pig Sty!


“I, even I, am the one who wipes out your transgressions for My own sake,
And I will not remember your sins.”
Isaiah 43:25

If old sins are haunting you, then you are listening to Satan.  He loves to bring them up to discourage you, keep you from God with false guilt, and take your mind away from growing in righteousness.  Don’t let him do it!!!  If you have unconessed sins, confess them and then know that now, therefore, there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus! (Romans 8:1)  When those sins come to mind, rejoice and praise God that they are covered with the blood of Jesus.  Do not sit and stew and allow Satan to turn your thoughts to doubt.  You were born again.  End of discussion.  You can not go back into your mother’s womb, and neither can you be unborn from the kingdom of heaven.  Christ’s death was the worst possible form of torture.  It was the depth of human sinfulness.  And it covered all sins!  There is nothing that you can do that does not fall nder the covering of Christ Jesus’ sacrifice. 

 As God’s child (you can’t be unborn) you get to decide how you will enter heaven.  Will you limp and drag and go in dirty and shameful because you chose to live this life on earth in your way never growing closer t God and never knowing His comfort and relationship?  Or are you going to go in leaping and dancing, laughing and exulting because you have grown in your relationship with God, have enjoyed daily fellowship with Him and known the truth of your forgiveness through His great grace and mercy?  The choice is yours.  I would hate to see a prince or princess born to royalty living in filth and poverty, dirty and content living with pigs! 

Know God’s forgiveness and grace and don’t let Satan steal your victory!
