2 Corinthinans 1:12


2Co 1:12  For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.

KJV

 

                By God's grace and not fleshly wisdom… I can't do it. That's my honesty, I can't do it. I've been struggling and I'm trying to use my wisdom but it’s just made everything worse. My human nature has been destroying what I've held so close and precious because I've been going back to my fleshly wisdom. I'm such a wreck. I can't say I've had conversation with the world by the grace of God. I've gone back to my sinful, carnal ways and hurt my friends and family. God I'm sorry. I've sinned and I've been shown my wrong. My testimony of my conscience hasn't been that of a godly conduct. God help me to never again lean on my own understanding and wisdom and to run to you in every moment, to follow you so closely. I need your grace, I need your wisdom. I need you God. I've been claiming to follow you closely and to be someone chasing after your heart. It's been so fake and I'm done with it. So done with it all. I'm so sorry Lord. I know I can't erase this part of my life away so God I ask that you would use it for your glory. Please forgive me Lord, I'm running hard to you. I know I'm not deserving, but you still say come. And you will give me grace so I’m coming to you Lord.

 

------          APPLICATION          ------

 

                For my application I'm going to share my story of redemption to a guy. I'm very hesitant to share it but it was my sin that God has redeemed. All glory be to him and I pray that when I share it, it will edify and build up. I'm praying that though my messing up, It will be able to bless someone else. God turns all things for good.

Mar 16:19   So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. Mar 16:20   And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.                     Today I was focusing on the resurrection of Christ. And the importance of it. Neil was speaking on it and it really hit me something. If the resurrection isn't portrayed than an all powerful God isn't portrayed. God said he will bruise the heel of the serpent (I believe is referencing satan) and that comes in the form of the resurrection. It's the , "even if you kill me I'll still come back. There is NOTHING you can do to beat me. And on top of everything I will use the people I died for to do my work as I command them." It's the biggest spiritual slap to face in the history of ever. Jesus gave satan...

Heb 3:12   Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. Heb 3:12     Tengan cuidado, hermanos, no sea que en alguno de ustedes haya un corazo'n malo de incredulidad, para apartarse del Dios vivo.                   There's something that Jeremy said that comes to mind. If sin is ten feet away, you still wouldn't be sinning if you walked up 9 feet. You still have room. But only one foot. And the closer you get to sin the more intense the temptation becomes and more excuses come up. You could say, "it's just one more foot." And at that point a gust of wind could blow you over into sin. Rather run away from the ten foot line and make in 20, then 30, then 40 and so on. If we still have evil in our hearts of disbelief than it's like tiptoeing on the line of sin. Just barely not into sin. But at that point if a fly lan...

1Pe 4:7   But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.   1 Pedro 4:7    Ya se acerca el fin de todas las cosas. Asi' que, para orar bien, mante'nganse sobrios y con la mente despejada.                   This could be my last 5 seconds. But those 5 seconds just passed but the message I take from this is that I should never expect to live on for a long time. Live each day like it's my last. That doesn't mean be irresponsible but be zealous and have a fire that yearns for people to come to Christ right now. No body is guaranteed any time on this earth.   Lives are being lost not having been shown the love of Christ and no one has any promises of living to see the next day and does that hit my heart? I struggle to think that the sun has no guarantee to rise in the morning because I've seen it happen over and over again. I have n...
