Cut Away, Cut Off What is Constantly Tempting You to Compromise Your Faith

You say you are a Christian.  You believe in the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.  You tell others about God and share printed resources and other information about your faith.  Yet, there is just one problem, the more you talk and walk in the godly, the more the enemy comes with just one more thing that places you in a position to question whether you should or shouldn't do something that compromises your faith.

"But that's your friend...you knew these people for years...Why wouldn't you help them?  You know that if you do for them, they will look out for you."  Sound familiar?

For some of you, you may have already done some things that you wish you hadn't and felt like there is no way out of your circumstance.  You may even feel like God is not with you anymore this is why you still work to share the things of God.  But there is a way out of darkness!  Either you cut yourself off from the negative things that bind you or you wait for someone or something to expose you.  God warns us to cut certain people, places, things, habits, and more away.  He tells us to remove ourselves, to do some things differently, but do we always listen?  Sometimes we don't and we learn the hard way.

Nowadays with so many people losing spouses and children, jobs, health, material assets, and more, it can be quite tempting to want to do everything in your power to maintain position, personal fortune, connections, and more.  But does one have to sell or continue to sell his or her soul to the devil?  Absolutely not!  True believers are called to live righteously.  Those who sit in pews on Sunday know better.  We are to not only listen to the word of God, but do. 

So when you know there is something on the inside eating away at your mind, body and spirit and you do nothing about it, know that sooner or later, the work of evil will catch up to you and expose you as a fraud.  Allow the Holy Ghost, left behind by Jesus, to cleanse your mind, body and spirit this day and direct your path according to our Father's wishes.

Say this prayer:

Dear Lord,

I praise you this day and recognize your power.  I am grateful for all that you have done for me.  I know that lately I have not been living right and I ask that you have mercy on me.  Move on my spirit to do what's right.  Give me the courage to cut away or cut off what is keeping me bound in sin.  I ask that you remove the temptations of the devil far away from me.  I ask in Jesus name.  Amen.

Now that you have said the prayer aloud.  I ask that my God cover you in the blood of Jesus and that you begin to start walking righteously again.  As long as you confess and repent from sin, you have nothing to be concerned about.  Put your troubles in God's hands and leave them there!

Have a day of peace and may God bless you for taking some time to acknowledge Him!
