Grace, mercy and peace from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RUN TO GOD. 1 John 1:9 KJV If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to clease us from all unrighteousness. Its wonderful to know youve been set free from the law of sin and death. Its glorious to know you never again have to submit to the slavery of sin. But what do you do when, in spite of those wonderful, glorious truths, you still miss the mark? What do you do when you stumble and fall into sin? Run to your Father and repent! That sounds simple. But oddly enough we often do just the opposite. Instead of running to God, we let fear and guilt drive us further and further from Him. We start thinking things like, WELL, IVE MISSED IT NOW. I MIGHT AS WELL FORGET THE REST OF IT AND LIVE LIKE THE DEVIL. Dont make that mistake. Dont let Satan talk you into sinning in one area of your life just because you missed it in another. When you get off track with God, just confess it and get right back on. But, Brother Copeland, I feel so guilty when I tell God what Ive done that its hard for me to make myself do it. I know. I used to feel that way too. Then, one day, God said to me, KENNETH, WHEN YOU CONFESSED THAT SIN WASNT WHEN I FOUND OUT ABOUT IT. I KNEW ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME! WHEN YOU CONFESSED IT IS WHEN YOU GOT RID OF IT, WHEN YOU WERE CLEANSED OF ITS EFFECTS IN YOUR LIFE. When you make a mistake, when you miss the mark, remember, you have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous (1 John 2:1). Run to Him! He knows what you are going through. You dont need to be afraid. He didnt tear you apart for the sins you committed before you made Him Lord of your life, did He? Then how much more merciful and loving do you think Hell be now that youre His own? Now that youre reaching out for Him and have a heart for Him? Dont run from God. Run to Him. Receive His forgiveness. Receive His cleansing. No matter how badly youve sinned, Hes eager to forgive and to clease you of all unrighteousness. SCRIPTURE READING: 2 Samuel 11:1-5, 12:1-13. From faith to faith, a daily guide to victory by Kenneth and Gloria Copeland.
