REPENTANCE.......OBEDIENCE .....HOLINESS ....NON-NEGOTIABLES!

Some hopefully helpful reminders for today:
1. PSALM 51 ..... If we have sinned , are continuing to sin ....we are called to true repentance .Non - negotiable.
2. Ongoing conviction and a conscience that is open to hearing the voice of The Holy Spirit , will keep us CLEAN.
3. Obedience to God's PERFECT WILL is Jesus call to you and I .......please don't ever settle for near-enough......Jesus is very specific about Discipleship. Mark8:34-38 ''DENY YOURSELF..TAKE UP YOUR CROSS & FOLLOW JESUS".
4. Having started to radically follow Jesus , don't get caught in a "ho-hum" level of spiritual committment.
5. HOLINESS : Without it none shall see the Lord(Hebrews 12 :14-15)
6. William Booth (co-founder) of The Salvation Army spoke about a ladder of Holiness , it goes something like this:
a)hate sin , be authentic about ongoing spiritual issues & open to Jesus to actually believe that His blood can cleanse you & I from all unrighteousness.
b) Deal with pride, power struggles, bad temper, unholy ambition, laziness , lust , selfishness , envy , untruthfulness, gossip & any other hindrances to your spiritual growth.
7. Remember that it is only by Jesus' Grace, mercy & love that you and I can be SAVED!
8. Come to Jesus ......today !
9. He will love, cleanse , and fill you with His Holy Spirit .......if you want to .
10. God has placed His requirements clearly in His WORD ......please read it today .

Praying for ALL readers .
