Never stop believing in the Lord's testimonies found in the Word, because they are like God Himself: righteous and faithful. They are your salvation, deliverance from your problems and, most importantly, the divine presence in your life. It's impossible to measure the consequences in the life of someone who receives them and doesn't allow them to act on their behalf. That person is belittling the Lord and will therefore get nothing from Him!

Someone can only be used by God again if they repent. Until that happens, their wickedness shows the Most High how undeserving they are of help. Jesus is good, merciful and helps those who seek Him, but He says: I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish (Luke 13.3) When the sinner repents, he is forgiven (Luke 17.3). Be a friend of Christ (John 15:14).

Disobeying Christ causes great harm. After all, His commands were revealed for a just and productive reason. In general, man appreciates testimonies that promise him blessings and are right, but he is wrong to despise those that lead him to repentance. There is nothing better than being convinced of sin, righteousness and judgment by the Holy Spirit (John 16:8). To repent is to begin again without condemnation!

The Word says: If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1.9). We must all believe this statement. The Lord's testimonies are right and faithful, so we must seek them out. By finding them, we will be redeemed from any fault. Once we have been forgiven, we can never go back to living in error. Never joke about sinning and repenting (Galatians 6:7-8).

Once you understood God's revelation, pray and thank Him for such a blessing, without making room for doubts in your heart. Present your confession so as not to fall again. The enemy will certainly tempt you again, but since you have been forgiven, don't give the devil the slightest chance of getting his hands on you. Standing up against evil and believing are attitudes that will protect you from committing sin (James 4:7).

No one will succeed in God's work as long as they live away from the environment of faith. The person who really wants to win rejects doubt, because their heart has been forgiven, and the right to start living by faith again gives them the ability to break free from the devil's clutches. When you confess your iniquities, you must ask for forgiveness and believe that you have been saved. Accept Jesus' testimony in His Word and never allow the enemy to touch your life again!

Believing in the Lord's faithful testimonies will free you from the tangles of error in which the devil has entangled you. The only way to return to the Father's presence is by confessing your sin and deciding not to commit it again. Don't even think for a second that a fault wasn't so serious or so destructive. The lost only come to their senses and realize how wrong they were under the conviction of the Holy Spirit. The secret of victory is to love God with all your heart and strength!

         In Christ, with love,
