There is Forgiveness for All Sin. Porn, Lying, Gluttony, Etc.

You must remember folks that there is forgiveness for every sin that you commit.  When you come to God in full acceptance of what He has shown you about your sinful state of being, humble yourselves in His sight, and turn from your sins, God will forgive you and cleanse you from your sins.  We all realize that sexual addictions of all sorts is a huge problem in this nation, not only for men but for women as well.  It could be pornography, adultery, fornication, orgies, homosexuality, etc.  They like other sins do and will trap you and it is very hard to overcome.  It doesn’t have to be this kind of sin to experience this.  I have never been addicted to these sorts of sins.  Everybody has a sin that they are prone to.  For some it might be food, materialism, peer pressure, alcoholism and not necessarily alcohol, lying, witchcraft, etc.  Whatever sin you are prone to there is forgiveness and cleansing for that sin.  God is a merciful God.  If He is dealing with your heart today respond to Him in repentance.  This means that you are determined not to do it again, but if you do He is there to help you as you, forgive you, cleanse you once more.  Usually an addiction takes time to work through and to overcome it by the power of the Holy Spirit.  You cannot do this in your own strength.  Sometimes God removes the sinful desire from you immediately but not always.  If you are alive and breathing you have hope.  You need the church, His Spirit, prayer, and the study of His Word to overcome this.  Pray and be honest with God because He knows it all anyway.  You cannot hide anything from Him.  The things listed above are the avenues that God works through.  May God bless you and keep you.

A Call to Persevere

Jude 17-25

17But you must(A) remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. 18They[a] said to you,(B) “In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.” 19It is these who cause divisions, worldly people,(C) devoid of the Spirit. 20But you, beloved,(D) building yourselves up in your most holy faith and(E) praying in the Holy Spirit, 21(F) keep yourselves in the love of God,(G) waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. 22And have mercy on those who doubt; 23save others by(H) snatching them out of(I) the fire; to others show mercy(J) with fear, hating even(K) the garment[b] stained by the flesh.

Doxology

24(L) Now to him who is able(M) to keep you from stumbling and(N) to present you(O) blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, 25to(P) the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord,(Q) be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.

1 John 1:5-10

Walking in the Light

5(A) This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that(B) God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6(C) If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and(D) do not practice the truth. 7But(E) if we walk in the light,(F) as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and(G) the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. 8(H) If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and(I) the truth is not in us. 9(J) If we confess our sins, he is(K) faithful and just to forgive us our sins and(L) to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10If we say we have not sinned,(M) we make him a liar, and(N) his word is not in us.
