WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU'RE GUILTY?

​WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU’RE GUILTY?
WE’VE READ THE ACCOUNTS OF GREAT MEN AND WOMEN IN THE WORD OF GOD. SO MANY OF THEM WERE SO HIGHLY FAVORED AMONG MEN AND WOMEN. THEY FOUGHT AND CONTENDED. THEY LIVED LIVES THAT THE LORD WAS PROUD OF. FROM THE OUTSIDE LOKING IN WE SEE GREAT STORIES OF HOW PEOPLE WERE RESCUED AND FAVORED BY THELORD AND HOW THEY OVERCAME LIES AND ADVERSITY…ATTACKS ON THEIR CHARACTER. WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN THE ENEMY TRIES TO EXPOSE EVERY WEAKNESS AND FLAW? WHEN HE PULLS UP THINGS OUT OF THE SEA OF FORGETFULNESS AND TRIES TO HAVE PEOPLE USE IT AGAINST YOU TO MOCK AND TAUNT? YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID. THERE’S NOWHERE TO RUN, THERE’S NOWHERE TO HIDE. YOU CAN’T HIDE FROM THE LORD. YOU CAN’T HIDE FROM YOURSELF.
ACTS 22:18
AND SAW HIM SAYING UNTO ME, MAKE HASTE, AND GET THEE QUICKLY OUT OF JERUSALEM: FOR THEY WILL NOT RECEIVE THY TESTIMONY CONCERNING ME.
AND I SAID, LORD, THEY KNOW THAT I IMPRISONED AND BEAT IN EVERY SYNAGOGUE THEM THAT BELIEVED ON THEE: AND WHEN THE BLOOD OF THY MARTYR STEPHEN WAS SHED, I ALSO WAS STANDING BY, AND CONSENTING UNTO HIS DEATH, AND KEPT THE RAIMENT OF THEM THAT SLEW HIM.
AND HE SAID UNTO ME, DEPART: FOR I WILL SEND THEE FAR HENCE UNTO THE GENTILES.
THE PRICE HAS BEEN PAID FOR THE GUILT AND THE SHAME. MOST PEOPLE WHO SEE THE WRONG INSTEAD OF THE RIGHT ARE THE HYPOCRITES, PHARISEES AND THE SCRIBES. THEY ARE USUALLY THE ONES WHO WANT TO SEE YOU SUFFER FOR YOUR SINS BUT THOSE IN THE FIGHT FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS WILL SEE THE SPIRIT AND NOT THE FLESH. THEY WILL SEE POSSIBILITY AND THEY WILL SEE ENOUGH HOPE TO PRAY. THE DISCIPLES WEREN’T SENT TO THE RELIGIOUS SECTOR, THE PROPHETS WERE. THE DISCIPLES AND TRUE BELIEVERS WERE SENT TO THE HEDGES OUTSIDE OF THE SYNAGOGUE TO THE LOST AND THE SCATTERED.
SO IN YOUR VULNERABILITY…LET LOVE BREAK THROUGH TO USE YOUR SHORT COMINGS AS A STEPPING STOOL FOR ONE. FOR CHRIST IS ABOUT THAT ONE LIFE THAT MEANS SO MUCH THAT HEAVEN’S REJOICE WHEN THEY RECEIVE. THE ROUGH SEAS ARE THE PEOPLE. YOU CAN LOOK AT THE PEOPLE AND SINK OR YOU CAN TRUST IN CHRIST AND WALK.
