The Holy Spirit will give you life that comes from Christ Jesus and will set you free from sin and death. Romans 8:2
_our sins obviously will hinder God's blessings to flow and flood us. those we thought was little and hidden are seen by God and He is not pleased with it. it irritates Him, making Him despised, holding back the whole blessings that is supposed to be poured. He let drops of it touch our tongues and satisfies our need but He so willing to provide more than what we need but we need to act on what Him says, "Take off your sins."
_how do we strip off the sticky adhering sins? here's a suggestion how, the ABC of Sin Stripping.
_ADMIT your weakness. many of us cannot go on and get through these barriers because we cannot accept to ourselves that these exist. unless we realise to ourselves and believe that we need help, then we cannot accept help. we are weak. we are made fragile but should mature firm. we are humans. humans like cartoon monsters all have a weak point. identify your weak point. this is where oftenly the sin starts. that weak point is your weakness.
_BREAK the habit. if the sin seed is planted to that weak point where it is well fitted for growth, it will result you to sin and that nourishes it for maturation. a habit will be developed in you we now call sin. at first, it will be a bad covert act you do but since unnoticed, you think it is okay. but it is not! that first sin will lead you to do many more other small hidden sins. these small sins will eventually hold and control you to do more much bigger sins because its desires and need for nourishment is mounting. until you can't resist it and can do no more but live for it and kill your own desires. that is the death of your self. do not let it happen. as soon as now, as these small creepy sins are tempting you to do small acts, stop it! you can kill them before they kill you.
_CALL for help. anyone in need needs help. if you can't call the fire department or the emergency 911 hotline for the removal of that sin, God's line is open and is so much ready for rescue. dial His number. it is worth the kneel than to die undefended. it won't take much effort. close your eyes, open your heart and pour out to Him your need. He listens well to those who call upon His name. cry out and give Him the load of that burden. He knows exactly what to do in emergencies like this.
_DRAW the line. set a limit for yourself. make a clear boundaries. and don't dare cross the line! it is to inhibit you from nourishing the sin that lives inside you. without you giving its needs, it will die. so get up, pick up that pen and write those things you knew that leads you to sinning and nourishing the seed. always paint in your mind and look at the limits that you had. always think of the boundaries you set for yourself. constantly remind yourself of the need to stay out of danger. as they say, anyone who thinks of dying walks the edges.
_ESTABLISH a new habit. get yourself busy and occupied that you won't have time thinking back those things you don't really enjoy but pleases the one you don't want to please. have a new place, reinvent yourself and go for new set of friends. if you really want to forget about something, you've got to really shake off those that reminds you of it. yes, this is the major change you'll give yourself. get involved and tire yourself of things that are not connected to your sin and is beneficial to you, as well. for you not to think of it, think of other things.
_FOCUS your faith. when shaken, it is our instinct to hold tight into something that would prevent us from falling. if that one you grasp isn't strong enough to support you and itself, both of you will stumble down. hold God's reaching hand and hold as tight as you can. in this way, you won't fall even when things around you already had left you hanging. strengthen your faith. get a brother or a sister that will stand by you. faith can move a mountain, not maybe a landmark but mountains inside us that we can't conquer. faith is so strong. learn to use it.
_GROAN (pray) for God's grace and help. when in pain and shaking. call God. remind Him of His promises and claim the fulfillment of those in your life. God would be happy if His child knew and remembers what He said. you see, He can't deny you of help because He said it. He says what He means and means what He said. so go on, remind God and claim His promises provided that you do your part in the claim. God's promises occassionally comes in blessings alone. often, it is a two-man obligation. you do your part, then God will do His.
_HEAR the Holy Spirit. Jesus left us the Holy Spirit to be our "Jesus with us" when He ascended to heaven. the Holy Spirit isn't a statue that stands in a corner just watching you when you're in the room and waits for your return when your out. unfortunately for some, the Holy Spirit is your guardian angel the lingers with you, anywhere, anytime, anyhow. He reminds you of your duties just as Christ would. He whispers things to do exactly as God would. He is your everything, when you need something.
_INITIATE change. convict yourself and be determined to finish the goal. run the race to totally get over that hindrance. other can encourage you and push you when you don't want to run, anymore but only you can make that change happen to you. want that change badly and do things hardly to change that hard bad thing trying to change you. want it, get it, be changed!
_JOG away from sin. the danger if you're on the cliff is when you're on its edges. if you don't want to fall off, stay away from that edge! i tell you, you are in danger if you are facing the sin. so, come on, step back, turn your back on it and take continous steps away from it until sin's hand can no more reach you or its voice tempts you. you have to stay away form danger zones if you want to be away from danger. simple, if you really do not want to sin, stay away from sin.
