Do not be angry with yourselves
"And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you."
Genesis 45:5
If you've ever done evil to another and you still get sick to your stomach with guilt over the thought of it, do not worry. For, although you meant to harm that person at that time, God had a plan all along. He knew what was going to happen before it happened, and he knew what you were going to do before you did it; God, had the blessing awaiting the outcome of the whole situation, a blessing that you may never know, but a tremendous blessing all the same.
Therefore, now is the time to forgive yourself, repent, stand up tall, focus on Christ, and move forward with your life. It's all going to be OK, God knows your heart and for the guilt and repentance you feel - he will bless you for it. Remember, everything works out for good to those who rely on Christ :-).

God sees through the deceit
"He saw through their duplicity..."
Luke 20:23
Whatever is deceitful, dishonest, dishonoring, disheartening, death-filled and fraudulent, on the outside, (whether the world knows or not, remember, God knows, and He will do something about it). Therefore, if there is any of these things within you, get them fixed and get them fixed now: repent, release, remove, and re-do.

A new mind and heart and a new spirit!
"...repent and turn from all your transgressions, lest iniquity be your ruin and so shall they not be a stumbling block to you... make you a new mind and heart and a new spirit... and live! "Ezekiel 18:20, 20-32 AMP
Turning away from God and His Word equals death!
BUT, turning to God, repenting for your sins and wrongdoings; changing your mind, heart, and spirit through prayer, reading His Word, and choosing to live out the fruits of His Spirit, (love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, faithfulness, kindness, and self-control), equals LIFE - life that actually makes life worth living.
Oh, how my heart goes to those that haven't given their lives to Christ; life with Him is so amazing, loving, joyful, blessed, and full of vigor. So, if you you haven't made the decision to ask Him to come into your heart, and forgive you for all your sins - please do, please hurry, and please don't ever look back!

What's been lost, will be given back by God
"... What you lost in Jerusalem will be found in Babylon.
God will give you new life again.
He'll redeem you from your enemies..."
He will:
"...remake you into a people invincible..."
Micah 4:9-10, 13 MSG
In other words what you lost when you lived in the world, (in sin, in darkness, without God as your leader), will be found, again, once you turn back to God, (give your life to him, surrender your sins, repent, make him the leader of your life). However, this time you will get back all that you've lost and then some; you will get back and there'll be no man that can take away from you ever again.
Yes, you may be down and out now, but it isn't over my friend, it is time to stop trying to take what was lost by your might and surrender it all to God. Let him take the lead!
Now, get ready - your life is going to be so blessed, so strong... so filled with strength and light!

Sin can eat the life right out of a person
“… But your sins
will eat away at you from within…” Ezekiel 24:22-24
Repent and release
your sins over to God; life is too short to let sin control you and eat the
life right out of you. So, be free, be
redeemed – how? Stop sinning! From there let God take over, cleanse you
with his compassion and fill you with his healing power; let the bondage that
has confined you for so long be released and let the new life that Christ wants
to give you fill your mind, body and soul.

Sin keeps God's blessing away
“Your sins keep my blessings at a distance.”
Jeremiah 5:25 MSG
My friend, there’s only one thing that is keeping you from the blessings of God: YOU. So, stop, repent, release, and let go of any sins holding you back from God’s goodness. You deserve better, and God’s the one who wants to give better to you.

Acknowledge your sin
Psalm 32:5 New International Version
Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD." And you forgave the guilt of my sin.
Call out to God, repent for your sins, and let God clean and clear the slate of your life. Your life will refresh, your burdens will lighten, and your heart will be free to be filled with the Holy Spirit.

When God corrects us
"So, what a blessing when God steps in and corrects you!
Mind you, don't despise the discipline of Almighty God!"
Job 5:17
Be thankful when the consequences of your sin come knocking at your door, more than likely, you, (and I), need it.
Consequences of sin are our chances to get right with God, repent to those we've wronged (including ourselves), forgive those who have wronged us (including ourselves), let go of the anger, resentment, and victim mentality, and get on with the blessed life that the good Lord is trying to give. So, take correction as a blessing and a learning curve - if we don't, the the devastation of our sins may be worse than we could of ever dreamed of.

Today is a new beginning
“… Now make your confession to God, the God of your ancestors, and do what he wants you to do…” Ezra 10:10-11, MSG
Stop living in sin! Repent to God, make some changes, and start living and enjoying this great life he has given you.

In trouble? Have trouble? Expecting trouble?
“…. Now that he was in trouble, he went to his knees in prayer asking for help—total repentance before the God of his ancestors. As he prayed, God was touched; God listened and brought him back to Jerusalem as king…” +2 Chronicles 33:11-13 (MSG)
In trouble? Have trouble? Expecting trouble?
Yes?
Then drop to your knees, stretch out your arms, repent before God, receive his forgiveness, and let him take your life over. The darkness of sin will soon lift, the light will shine through, and the path of victory will once again open up wide and straight for you.
My friend, God forgives you! All you have to do is receive it from him.

Hearts and motives
“… God examines every heart and sees through every motive…” 1 Chronicles 28:9-10 MSG
How’s your heart? How’s your motives? Do you have a clear conscience when you go to bed at night? Do you feel like you’ve brought a smile to anybody’s face lately? Well, if you heart is dark and your motives are shady then it’s time to kick it into high gear and get on board with God. So, dig in to the Word, pray without ceasing, repent for your wrongs, forgive those that have wronged you, and let bygones be bygones; cleanse your heart of all unrighteousness and let the glory of Christ fill you, surround you, and love you to wholeness. And, soon, my friend, your nights will be filled with peace, your heart will be filled with joy, and your motives will be fueled by knowing that you are helping someone else.

The end of you
"Get to the end of yourself where you can do nothing, but where He does everything."
@Oswald Chambers

Return to the Lord
"And Samuel said to all the house of Israel, “If you are returning to the Lord with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you and direct your heart to the Lord and serve him only, and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.” 1 Samuel 7:3 ESV
The same to you, my friend: If you are truly serious about coming back to God, then stop your sinful ways, repent, and ask forgiveness. Then, open up your heart and let God fill it like never before.

Facing your fears
"... You won't be able to face your enemies until you have gotten rid of these cursed things... Don't be timid and don't so much as hesitate..." Joshua 7:13, 8:1 - The MSG
Until you rid yourself of sin (anger, hatred, lying, cheating, stealing, stinginess, selfishness, gluttony, etc.) you wont be able to stand up and defeat your fears, or enemies. Therefore, if you want victory over your enemies and your fears, then first you must get rid of the sin in your life and repent for your wrongs - don't hesitate and don't be afraid, just do it. No, it isn't easy, and it will take some strength and patience, but little by little, each step you take forward, God will take you two steps more. So, trust in God, do not rely on yourself, and soon those enemies and fears will begin to turn and run as far as they can from you.
