Walk in my joy and peace
Why are you hiding child? Is your conscience weighing heavily on you? You need to listen as my Holy Spirit convicts you of sin. The pleasure you are clinging to is detrimental to you otherwise I would not be warning you about it. If you continue in disobedience you will only end up hurting yourself. I want you to be happy, to enjoy your life apart from sin. There is joy apart from sin; there is peace apart from sin. Therefore decide for yourself to let go of the desires of the flesh and instead cling to that which is holy and acceptable in my sight. Believe me child as you walk in obedience your joy will be full and your peace will be still. I am tired of watching you tossed about by the sinful desires of your heart. Settle your heart, settle it in me, only I can give you the peace and joy that you so dearly desire. Yes the pleasures of the flesh feel good but they are short-lived and after indulging in them they leave you feeling dirty, sinful, seeking a place to hide. This is nothing new under heaven when Adam and Eve sinned they sought to hide from my presence. Their sin stole their joy and peace and left them feeling dirty, naked and exposed. They decide to hide from me and so do every one of my children when they fall into sin. Instead of hiding, make up your mind to change and repent sincerely from your heart. I am here to forgive you, to wipe away your sins, to take away your fear and restore your peace and joy. This faith walk is not unattainable, you can make it, you will make it if you remain on the right path. My Holy Spirit is here to make sure that you make it if you so desire. It is not an easy walk but you are not walking this path alone. I have experienced this walk while I was a man here on earth. It was not easy there were a lot of temptations along the way. I faced fear, doubt, loneliness, pain, hurt, abandonment but through them all I reigned victorious not in my own strength but by the power and strength of the Holy Spirit. Remember it is not by your power or your strength that you overcome but by the Holy Spirit. A man who thinks he is or can walk this path of faith on his own is one who is already deceived, your pride is blinding you and the truth is not in you. You think that you are standing but you have already fallen. You will not succeed on your own; if you could I would not have sent my Holy Spirit to you. Beloved you do not walk this path alone you have a helper, a comforter, the one who is with you always. The one who is with all my children at all times in all places. He has a duty to fulfill and it is in you, through and for you. If you want to know that the Holy Spirit is at work in my church look at the fruit He is bearing in you. Remember how you were before you got saved and look at yourself now. What changes have you gone through for the good? What sinful activities did you indulge in before and why are you not indulging in them now? Why have you lost the desire to be involved in certain sinful activities? Children the Holy Spirit is working inside of you, let Him bear His fruit and then put it to practice always aiming higher towards holiness.
Amen.
