I read this post a couple of days ago and refrained from responding because of my different thougths. So, I am going to ask Endtime a point blank question, What is your message? What are you trying to say?
Allow me to be frank in this post. I believe that when we accept Jesus as Lord and Savior we are on our way to Spiritual fittness, but this healing is not complete until we reach Heaven. On earth we are sort of on a spiritual wellness program but every now and than we screw up and sin. Martin Luther is quoted as saying, "I sin every day by thought, word and deed." I agree with Mr. Luther's assessments. Sometimes thoughts cross my mind that are Unchristian and Ungodly as when I get cut off in traffic. Or when someone asks me how they look and I respond "Great" when in fact they look like last nights dinner.
I follow Jesus daily and my spiritual health is so much better and yet I continue to sin. I'm looking forward to going home to Jesus and ending this teaching course on earth.
There is Victory over sin with Jesus but sometimes it takes humans so long to conquer the sin that has them in bondage. I became saved in 1984 and yet continued to smoke cigerattes until 2007. I justified my sin.
Just some thoughts.
Blessings,
Al

God gives grace to the humble.
Sounds like you qualify.
Thanks for the insight.
Belive and receive.
God commands us to be perfect as our Father in Heaven is perfect.
He supplies grace when we give Him our faith as the substance of things hoped for.
Things we don't see yet calling those things that are not as though they were we have them.
Father in Heaven.
Hallowed be thy Name.
Your kingdom come. Your will be done.
On earth as it is in Heaven.
amen
praise the Lord He even gives us the faith and seed to the sower.
Hallelujah

This blesses my soul to hear.
Praise his Holy name.
The Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.
I usually say welcome to the war!
Likewise, I smoked for a number of years. It really bothered me but I was bound.
I had at the time a "weak and defiled spirit"
This can only be overcome with the truth and often deliverance.
Smoking is not a "thou shalt not" yet it defiles.
Why? because it is a "filthiness of the flesh" from which we all need to be cleansed whatever it may be.
We are more than overcomers through him that loved us.

My theory has always been:
1.Accept Christ.
2.All your sins salavation'd.
That you need both of the requirements in order to be saved.
Not 1.
Which is why you should have all your sins washed right before you die.
So if you're an 89 year-old man and 5 minutes before death a hot lady flashes you as you sit on your wheelchair, causing you to lust causing you to sin, well then, the Lord have mercy that your last sin is cleaned/removed before you die!
Anything wrong with my theory?

Being an atheist is like being in a world where healthy people all walk on crutches. It is tempting to walk up to people and take away their crutches, since I know damn well they can walk fine without them. But then you have to deal with people angrily demanding their crutches back. Being an atheist is a curse.
Being an atheist is like taking a pacifier from a baby's mouth - only that the baby will complain even though the baby does not need the pacifier.

You have to have the Spirit of Christ or you are not His. Those who have the Spirit of Christ are His and are saved. No one else will see the kingdom of God. But don't despair the Lord's messengers are coming to destroy the world and give you all one final chance.
Please forgive me of my sin Lord,set me free.
Fill me with Your Spirit now
lead me on and show me how.
fill me with Your Holy Spirit let it be.
Fill me with Your Holy Spirit let it be.
replace the evil that's within me set me free.
Fill me with Your Spirit now
lead me on and show me how.
let me shine your light for others let it be.
Let me Shine your Light for others let it be.
Save my sisters and my brothers set them free
Fill me with Your Spirit now
lead me on and show me how
Display the power of Your Spirit
They'll believe
Display the power of Your Spirit Lord through me.
Display the Power of Your Spirit set them free
Fill me with Your Spirit now
lead me on and show me how
I repent of all my sin Lord let it be
