“Working it out!”

“So Sunday morning at church our Pastor had preached a message out of Colossians..and the title was called, “Closing the Gap”…Amen..and it is pretty much telling us the things that we should put to death and that we should put off from us and our lives..Amen..concerning fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry..Amen..and we are to put away from us anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of our mouths..we are not lie to one another..Amen..but we are to put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, and longsuffering..Colossians 3:5-12..Amen..and he says most of you are probably sitting here thinking well I am good..I don’t do those things..Amen..but as well he comes back and he says but the thing is this..we all are fighting something in our lives..that is a mishap..a sin..a problem..Amen!”

“He says that’s why daily we are to work it out with the Lord..Amen..with our insecurities..with our short comings..with our sins that are hard for us..those hidden things that only you and the Lord know about..Amen..for he says none is perfect..Amen..only Christ..Matthew 5:48..Praise the Lord..and daily we are to work it out..daily we are to pick up our crosses and come yet once again into fellowship and communion with the Lord our God..Luke 9:23..Amen..because he says either you daily kill the sin in your life personally..or it will be killing you and your life..Amen..for it takes persistence..it takes putting on the armor of God..Ephesians 6:11-18..and it takes honesty before the Lord..so he says for you..yourself keep the gap closed..the gap that the Lord closed when He defeated, death, hell and the grave..Praise the Lord..because we still live in a fallen world..Amen..so we guard ourselves..we guard our lives..and we keep sin dead where it should be..and at all times..not to compromise..because I can say once you do..it not only effects you..but sin effects everyone in your life..Amen..so again we must work it out and daily so work it out with the Lord..stay close to Him..and walk worthy of the call of Christ that has been placed on you and your life..Ephesians 4:1..Amen..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤
