Move away from the wicked
”He warned the assembly, “Move back from the tents of these wicked men! Do not touch anything belonging to them, or you will be swept away because of their sins.”
Numbers 16: 26
Stay away from those that don’t listen to the Lord, otherwise you might find yourselves going under, finding yourself too far gone to come back up for air.

We've been set free... free indeed!
“He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”
-1 Peter 2:24
Jesus bore our hurts, habits, and hang-ups, so that we may be healed ~ Jesus bore our sins and transgressions so that we could be set free.
WE ARE free!! Free indeed!!
Thank you Jesus!

Such great mercy
"For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him... he removed our transgressions from us."
Psalm 103:11-12 KJV

Strip off the past and dress for the future
“Strip down, start running – and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins…
don’t sit around on your hands! No more dragging your feet…
Keep a sharp eye out for weeds of bitter discontent. A thistle or two gone to seed can ruin a whole garden in no time.”
-Adapted from Hebrews 12:1-3; 4-11; 14-17 MSG
It’s time to move on. The past is over, the future is at hand, and the time is now. So, get on with your amazing life, there’s so much in store for you and all you have to do is take a bold step forward - friend, God is patiently waiting for you to do so.
Yes, the time is now: time to live; time to breathe! Strip the past from yourself and move forward fresh and new.
Yes, the time is now: time for God to take control and for you to give it up to him.

Good or bad...
“The sins of some people are blatant and march them right into court. The sins of others don’t show up until much later. The same with good deeds. Some you see right off, but none are hidden forever.”
1 Timothy 5:24-25 MSG
Good or bad, your sins and good deeds will all come out in the open eventually. So, stick with the good deeds – you’ll be better off in the long run.

I'm bankrupt without love
"... So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love.
Love never gives up.
Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have.
Love doesn’t strut,
Doesn’t have a swelled head,
Doesn’t force itself on others,
Isn’t always “me first,”
Doesn’t fly off the handle,
Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others,
Doesn’t revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end."

Welcome to a New Year - a NEW YOU 2018
The Holy Spirit confirms this:
I'll forever wipe the slate clean of their sins.
Therefore, we can now - without hesitation - walk right up to God. So, friends, let's do it - full of belief, confident that we're presentable inside and out!
-Paraphrased from Hebrews 10 MSG
Goodbye old, hello new!
It's a new year, a new year. Forget what lies behind (Phil 3:13) and move forward with the life that Jesus has died to give you. You are forgiven, you are redeemed, you are made clean, and, most of all, you are God's precious child - made in His likeness for greatness!
So, GO and be GREAT!
Jesus died so you can do so.

If they confess their sins...
"On the other hand, if they confess their sins... their treacherous betrayal, the defiance that set off my defiance that sent them off into enemy lands; if by some chance they soften their hard hearts and make amends for their sin, I'll remember my covenant... I'll remember the land... in spite of their behavior... I won't reject or abhor or destroy them completely... For their sake I will remember the covenant with their ancestors whom I, with all the nations watching, brought out of Egypt in order to be their God. I am God." Leviticus 26:40-45, The Message
It is never too late to turn your life around, to turn back to God. So, if you have fallen by the way-side and have made more problems for yourself and for those you love (and/or don't love for that matter), then you can get it all turned around, and the first step is surrendering your life to God. No, it won't be a walk in the park, and it won't happen overnight, but the moment you let God take over, things will begin to turn around, and somehow, someway, the messes you've made will, one day, be turned into blessings that you forever treasure - God will make sure of it.

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!

Even at our worst...
"And so I'm not going to act on my anger...
And why? Because I am God and not human.
I'm The Holy One and I'm here - in your very midst."
Hosea 11:1-9 MSG
Yes, we've all fallen short and have had some rough times because of our sins and transgressions. And, yes, God is not pleased with us in those times. However, God loves us unconditionally, and if we turn to him, (even at our worst), confess our sins, and genuinely seek forgiveness and change, then will stay true to His Word: He will forgive us, love us into wholeness, and turn our sins into stepping stones of greatness! Therefore, don't be ashamed to turn to God no matter what you've done. He is faithful, He will forgive you; you will be changed into His glory and you are loved beyond belief.

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.

Bless the Lord
What does God do for us?
Well, here is just a glimpse for you:
“He forgives your sins – every one.
He heals your diseases – every one.
He redeems you from hell – saves your life!
He crowns you with love and mercy – a paradise crown.
He wraps you in goodness – beauty eternal.
He renews your youth – you’re always young in his presence.”
Psalm 103:3-5
God is so good. Bless him! Honor him! Praise him! It is the least we can do for all he does for us.
