Some people run from God, because they are afraid of what He will ask them to do. They don’t want to give Him control and be forced into a strict religion full of rules. But losing out on eternity with Jesus, is a high price to pay for earthly pleasures, which don't last and cannot give everlasting peace and happiness. God has given each of us the gift of choice. We can choose a life of sin, or a life surrendered to Jesus. But we can't have both! We must choose! Before we can enter the kingdom of heaven, we must allow God to remove the shackles of sin. Fortunately, God is in the chain-breaking business and stands by eager and ready for the task. All we need to do is surrender our hearts to Him, and ask for His forgiveness. Jesus has promised to save us "from" our sin, but He doesn't say "in" our sin. Allow God to separate you from your sinful desires and ask Him to give you a hatred for your sins. The three most powerful words you can pray are; "Jesus Save Me!" He is eager and ready to unlock the prison doors - and set you free! Text: Ps 146:7, Luke 19:10, Is 59:1.
Psalms 146:7 NKJV - "7 Who executes justice for the oppressed, Who gives food to the hungry. The LORD gives freedom to the prisoners."
Luke 19:10 NKJV - "10 "for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.""
Isaiah 59:1 NKJV - "1 Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, That it cannot save; Nor His ear heavy, That it cannot hear."
