My troubled conscience!



Psalm 32: 5 KJV “I acknowledge my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.”

I really get angry with people and they frustrate me and before I know it I have sinned by saying really ugly things about them. The truth of the matter is my conscience bothers me to such an extent that I confess my mouth to the LORD my God asking for forgiveness.  They don’t even know I said whatever but I realize God heard me and I feel truly bad about it.

In confessing my sin I feel better and I can carry on. I need to get whatever off my chest and move forward. Then I get these little reminders that plague my mind and I realize that the Devil is reminding me of past sins that have been forgiven. I bind him and send him back to where he came from. Not accepting the thoughts he tried to plant in my mind.

The Greek Word translated as confession means “to agree with God.” I strive each and every day to come into agreement with God. I know and realize that I am not perfect but God knows my heart and understands me.  I read this message posted on G+ “Make a habit of shutting down conversations that aim to tear others down.” Lord we need to implement this in our own lives to honour You.

Prayer

Lord God in humbleness I pray forgive me for being difficult at times, for being too sensitive and always trying to impress people. Lord You know I love You with all my heart and that I want to be a good person and maintain a right spirit towards people and You Lord. Forgive me if I have offended You or anybody today. In the Holy Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
