“’Repent, and turn from all your transgressions, so that iniquity will not be your ruin. Cast away from you all the transgressions which you have committed and get yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. For why should you die? For I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies,’ says the Lord God. ‘Therefore turn and live!’” [1]
A prayer: “Holy Spirit of God please move in us and through us to bring us to repentance of crossing holy boundaries (transgressing) and of iniquity (being unfair). Please grant us repentance unto life.”
“We have such trust through Christ toward God. Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God, who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the SPIRIT gives life.” [2]
In the world, there is a culture of death and condemnation, but in the Spirit of Christ, there is LIFE... HOLY, meaningful, and productive LIFE. As the prophet Zechariah declared, “’Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the Lord of hosts.” [3]
A prayer: “Heavenly Father, please forgive us for trying to live this difficult life in human strength and wisdom alone. Holy Spirit please live, move, and breathe in and through us. This I pray in the Name of JESUS CHRIST our LORD. Amen.
