Been thinking about things,
Everything happens for a reason, and it is good if you are listening for the Holy Spirit to direct. Listening for that still quiet voice and then acting upon what you hear.
Got up this morning at 3:20 and was reading, looking for where i left off reading yesterday but instead ended up in
1 Corinthians 5:9-13
(9) I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with the immoral people;
(10) I did not at all mean with the immoral people of the world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters; for then you would have to go out of the world.
(11) BUT ACTUALLY I WROTE TO YOU NOT TO ASSOCIATE WITH ANY SO-CALLED BROTHER, IF HE SHOULD BE AN IMMORAL PERSON, OR COVETOUS, OR AN IDOLATER, OR A REVILER, OR A DRUNKARD, OR A SWINDLER NOT EVEN TO EAT WITH SUCH A ONE.
(12) For what do I have to do with judging outsiders? DO YOU NOT JUDGE THOSE WHO ARE IN THE CHURCH?
(13) But those who are outside, God judges. REMOVE THE WICKED MAN FROM AMONG YOURSELVES.
God judges the ones whom are not believers, but we are to judge those in the body of Christ, the word says we can tall a brother by his fruit, it takes a judgment on our part to determine if a fruit is good or bad, according to God’s word, so we as Christians need to be in the word to be able to judge properly.
And people who call themselves Christians that live a life of immorality we are to stay away from, but the outsider or nonbelievers we need to be around so that through us they may see Christ.
These shall not inherit the kingdom of heaven; fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, effeminate, homosexuals, thieves, the covetous, drunkards, revilers, swindlers none of these will inherit the kingdom of God.
And we all have been or dune some if not all of these things but we were washed, sanctified, and justified in the name of Jesus Christ, and in the spirit of our God.
Our judgment is not one of salvation but a determinatin of the outward effects of an inward dedication for if one is dedicated to the Lord not self or the world they will live a life without these things controling it.
Any one cough up in even these sins is loved by the Lord andcan be forgiven by the Lord, all that needs to take place is for that person to repent, ask for forgiveness and turn from the sin and turn to the Lord, for He is wating for you to come to Him, and is willing to forgive you except you in and lead give you salvation.
One thing those of you who think I'm not one who lives in the sins of those fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, effeminate, homosexuals, thieves, the covetous, drunkards, revilers, or swindlers you need to understand sin is sin and alowing a self-richest spirit to dwell in your being is still sin. And sin can not live with the Lord or Father God in heaven.
It can be heard to make the change, first repent, admit you are a sinner, ask the Lord to forgive you, turn from the sin or sins in your life, then as you live your life out when you knottiest you are taking part in sin whatever that sin may be, as soon as you notes it stop, ask the Lord to help you, He has given you the Holy Spirit to help you to lead and guide us through life, if you have asked Christ in to your life, give Him the opportunity to guide you out of sin and bring you in to the Kingdome of heaven.
if you ask every time you will fine that the span of time between the sin will grow longer and longer untill the day it will not show its ugaly head and ou will be freed from it. when you ask forgivness in instant, but yo still have to do your part to keep from alowing the sin to be in your life.
