Underestimating Sin

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil,
who put darkness for light and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Isaiah 5:20

When a tornado or hurricane strikes often times people underestimate the power and danger of the wind and consequently put themselves in harms way. Some appear to be mesmerized and caught up in the impending danger. You as a believer may underestimate the power of one little sin as well and become awe struck by it. 

Our world today is becoming more and more desensitized to wrong, sin, and evil. Satan is working overtime to confuse the masses. Sins affects can have far reaching consequences for years to come. If you feel in your heart something is not right that is your conscience letting you know to get up and run from evil. 

Is there some sin you are 'toying' with that you should be confessing and running away from? 

PRAYER: Help me break any strongholds of the enemy in my life before the enemy has me in his clutches. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Don't Cave In

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who out darkness for light,and light for darkness. Who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Isaiah 5:20

My husband and  I raised our sons to know right from wrong and good from evil. They were raised in the Christian faith to follow after the truth and pursue it. After you leave home you are on your own and confronted with many choices and often times moral and ethical dilemmas. Colleges often take our children and brainwash them into new philosophies of life. For whatever reason many children reject the faith of their childhood much to the dismay of parents who did the right thing initially.

Maybe some of you reading this have wandered from the way you were raised or your adult children have. Satan roams around trying to captivate people with lies and deceit and at times he is pretty convincing. Unless you counteract it with the truth in God's word you may be left to wander in the wilderness. Many a praying mom and dad has worn out the carpet on their knees praying for their children to be protected from the wiles of the devil and to fall back in love with Jesus again.

If you are needing peace over prayers you have sent up continually for a wayward loved one , just know God's love transforms. God's love sets free. God's love heals. God's love restores. God's love redeems. God's love forgives. Give Him your cares today.

PRAYER: You are mighty to save Lord. I thank you for rescuing me when I wandered in a dark place. I pray for those today who have left their first love and have no desire for things of the Lord. Touch hearts as only you can Lord and set the captives free. In Jesus' name. Amen.
