40-Day Fast from Wrong Thinking - DAY 22 "IF I CAN JUST STOP SINNING, I'LL BE HOLY AND PLEASING TO GOD"

Revolution Day 22: "If I can just stop sinning, I'll be holy and pleasing to God."

Today we’re fasting from the thought that says, “If I can just stop sinning, I’ll be holy and pleasing to God.” While it’s better not to sin (amen!), the thinking that holiness is obtained by our sinlessness, is wrong thinking. Let’s Change It Today. 1. Re-define the correct meaning of ‘holiness’. Holy doesn’t mean ‘detaching’ from all that is bad. It means ‘attaching’ to the LOVE of GOD. 2. Remember Adam & Eve. As long as they fellowshipped with God in the garden, they didn’t ‘sin’. It was only when they separated themselves that temptation had its power.  (Genesis 3:1-8) 3. Expect to taste God’s goodness. (Psalm 34:8) Once you drink from the cup of His goodness, you’ll no longer hold your cup up to the bitter fancies of sin. 4. Reverse this thinking. When you are pleasing to God, sin loses its power. And God is pleased by your faith. (Hebrews 11:6) 5. Be BELIEVING! The sin that leads to other sins is the sin of ‘not believing what God says or what God has done’. (John 16:9) When you believe Him, you please Him, even with your flaws. 6. Accept the gift of righteousness. When you awake to it, that produces power over sin. (1 Corinthians 15:34) Think It & Say It: I attach myself to the love of God, and therefore I am walking in true holiness. Attachment to Him repels sin and temptation from me. I expect to taste God’s goodness, and lose my appetite for sin. I believe what God has done and what He says, and that is holy & pleasing to Him. I am the righteousness of God through the blood of Jesus!
