141/365: Correcting Those Mistakes

We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check. ~ James 3:2

We get it wrong nearly every time we open our mouths. If you could find someone whose speech was perfectly true, you’d have a perfect person, in perfect control of life. ~ (MSG)

Sin separates our hearts from God, which reveals what hell feels like. Get out of that trap - now! People make mistakes - we sin. Don't be so hard on yourself when it happens.

First, confess your mistake to God. Next, stand tall and move on. God wants you in the fight, not sitting on the couch - pouting about your losses. Go win it.

GO DEEPER: Psalm 103: 6-14

NEXT STEP: Stop in this very moment and confess your sin to God, with your voice - say it. Then pray for the strength and confidence to stand tall and walk forward.

People need to understand that the fight won’t be easy living for him cause of our natural sinful ways but we accept Christ and believe have faith in him we will be lead by the Holy Spirit same spirit that helped Jesus our lord king and savior to overcome sin the devil him self temptations so we allow God in our life so we can be lead by him

The answer to life's problems and goals lies in a proper reverence for God who is perfect in all His being and actions. Man needs not just to confess God, but to surrender everything to Him. By letting Him truly be God in every area of life, a man will find sufficiency in God alone. ~ Andrew Murray

I attended the Great Banquet, Walk to Emmaus and the Crucible project is next. Through life-changing spiritual experiences, God has revealed many truths and instilled within my being, a faith that is so powerful that it brings forgiveness to me, and in my heart lets resentment against others leave, go into the hogs as they run into the water and drown. Don't lose that feeling, Eliot. Christian Conferences bring God into many lives, a great movement to enrich the world.

Just like we need to forgive others, we need to forgive ourselves when we sin. We know God will separate us as far as the East is from the West from our sins, but we keep bringing them up. Forgive yourself and move on. Love you Jesus! 💜🧡💙💛

Good morning brothers, I went to my first encounter this weekend. Absolutely amazing, my faith has never felt this strong. I can look back to the people which caused me to lose control of life. And say why did I hang on to this for so long. I feel so amazing, free of all self doubt. God has forgiven me and for me to grow in faith, I needed to really go deep down in side of me and forgive them. They should feel proud that every person that has hurt me in this past year is forgiven, I'm forgiven. I went into this weekend thinking I was going to shut some the doors on everything I've been dealing with. That didn't happen, God has helped me OPEN more door's, he showed me so much in 48hours, I'm so on fire, it feels so amazing. I can't believe that I was hanging on to those resentment "Why". I asked him and he put on my heart he told me that my EGO was to blame not other people. Now it's time to be a channel of God's love. Thank you for showing me your faith, reading your testimonials every morning has helped me in so many ways. No God- No peace, know god-know peace. "Thank you brothers for showing me that God has never left me, I left him".

Much like playing sports. Have a short term memory. You made a mistake don’t let it sit and rot in your mind making you miss the very play happening now. Take inventory when you’ve got a moment and play out and say I did this good I did that bad. What’s the solution for next time. Then hand it over to God and let it go. Sounds super simple and really it kind of is once I began to do this regularly. Sometimes things bounce around upstairs and the more I train my mind to recognize this occurring the quicker I get at noticing it happening. Then hand it over. Heck even write it down and then throw it in a prayer box or something along those lines (I used to use trash for this but it just kind of felt wrong but it works too). If you start to think about it go dig it out of the trash for a physical representation of taking it back from God. It’s a great exercise to use to train with. Makes the brain work in multiple domains on the same problem. Thanks God for that bit of advice that was passed on to me from another. I love you God amen 🙏

I have spent my entire life being a perfectionist and trying to earn Gods Love. Only now at 25 am I learning that His power comes when I am weak. That I can’t come close to perfection and that the only solution is to be dependent on Him. Not to be hard on myself when I screw up, just to take it to him in humbleness and ask for forgiveness and ask for the power to repent. Please pray for me as I struggle with porn addiction to finally quit not with my willpower but with Gods Power.

I am lazy and disobedient. I am selfish. I am cowardly.
