The Power of Conviction

Ever came so close to the presence of The Lord only to backslide into the Devil's hands?

Ever seen God's true beauty, to only willingly partake in sex, drugs, and all the things that are not of God but rather your flesh? 

Ever had this overwhelming feeling of punishment after diving into your sin? Yes, I know everyone feels sort type of guilt when partaking in sin but this guilt is different! This is a feeling of complete disappointment to God? A feeling of throwing up because you're completely disgusted by what you've done.

I've been there. Knowing right from wrong, walking with Christ at the same time and continually be selfish with my fleshly desires. 

Young lady: that's conviction.

We're reminded of this in Isaiah 6:5, Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts."

When we're of the world our sin is thought to be fun and we're truly not thinking of the consequences. But as we grow closer to The Lord it's filthy!! We're thinking how could we possibly dishonor God Almighty in such ways!! 

So stop playing tug-a-war! We can't serve two masters. Playing the church girl on Sunday's and embracing sin the rest of the week.

What are you convicted of today? Is it the gossip among coworkers or behind a friend's back? Is it the lies you're constantly telling? Is it the sex with the ungodly boyfriend? Whatever it may be I urge you to flee immediately from your temptations and repent. Remember he's waiting. He's watching. And his unchanging hand never changes.
