1 John 2:3-6 We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. 4 Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. 5 But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: 6 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.
You know the Lord has been speaking to you about something. Do what He says to do…..please do it ASAP. God knows what He is doing in your life….Just follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. May the Lord bless you as you endeavor to do what He said for you to do.

Tanya, thank you so much for this post.
I read it on the day you posted it and kept it in my inbox..
The Lord was speaking to me AGAIN through you, to do something, which I had been procrastinating about for sometime due to fear of the consequences..
It has taken me this long to OBEY.
Today, I carried out what He has been leading me to do.and I know that He is working on my behalf now and I will receive back what the enemy has stolen from me.
Psalm 17:2 – Let my vindication come from you; may your eyes see what is right.
God Bless you for sharing and for helping me on my journey to victory in this particular situation. xx

Thank you Tanya, your message is indeed God’s Truth, I’m going to support you 100% my comment will have lots of detail but it will confirm what God has said to you, there are many more Scriptures but I will just share a few.
So many today say it’s ok to sin because we are forgiven, they may not say it in words but they do so by their actions. God’s Truth has been watered down, He tells us to reckon ourselves dead to sin, and be perfected in Love, not continue to say we will sin but can’t help it because we are only human, if we have The Holy Spirit indwelling us we are not only just human, we have been Born Again and we remember no Temptation will be greater then we can bear.
John 8:34-36 Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
The wonderful Truth is Jesus Christ has set us free so we don’t have to sin, it’s our choice if we do but if we have the mind of Christ and are perfected in His Love, we won’t choose to sin, we are Born again with God’s seed or Nature which is what we are all to aim for as Paul tells us.
1 John 3:9 No one who is Born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been Born of God.
But, But But people say, your being legalistic and trying to earn your Salvation BUT it’s not legalism, as you shared Tanya, it’s obedience which comes willingly from our hearts if we Love God. We can’t earn our Salvation, if we are God’s redeemed Children who He has known from eternity because of our heart repentance, we already have it, but when we are Born again we will show we have it.
1 John 5:18-20 We know that no one who is Born of God sins; but He who was Born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him. We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.
I do believe that people think their weaknesses and shortcomings are sin and Satan encourages them to think so or tells them their sin is just being human and ok, so yes we do need to examine ourselves and put our flesh to death that causes us to sin by choosing to turn from evil and by doing good through the empowering of The Holy Spirit. Its True though that until we are perfected in God’s Love we are covered by the blood of Christ and under His Grace as were the Old Testament Saints, Jesus is our Advocate but if we continue to sin we have not come to True heart repentance and are still in darkness.
Colossians 3:4-6 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.
But , But, But people say, if we claim we don’t sin we are calling God a liar BUT when this verse is read in context (see below ) it’s saying if we say we don’t need Salvation because we haven’t sinned we are calling God a liar if we really confess our sins and turn from evil and do good, God purifies us from all evil and we walk in righteousness as Jesus did and so Satan flees.1 John 3:4-10 &1John2:6
1John1: 5 This then is the message which we have heard of Him, and declare unto you, that God is Light, and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the Truth But if we walk in the Light, as He is in the Light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin.
But , But, But people say, Paul said in Romans7 he does the things he does not want to do BUT he also calls himself wretched and claims confidently Jesus will rescue him and then tells us in Romans 8 and other Scriptures how to have victory over sin through The Holy Spirit.
But , But, But people say, there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus, BUT what does it continue to say……
Romans 8:1-39 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Tanya you bless me greatly , your word’s reflect God’s heart of Love for Mankind, it’s not His will anyone perishes BUT He is patient giving us time and the wonderful Truth is, not one of us in Christ Jesus will be lost, He promises us that.
There are No Buts EXCEPT those that speak God’s Truth.
Christian Love from both of us – Anne

Thank you for this message, it really spoke to me a lot. It is true that God has been asking me to spend time with him, to let him lead every moment of my life and everything, to work on only saying positive things about myself and others, thinking only positive thoughts about myself and others, and some other things that I have been having trouble obeying but I want to. So please everyone pray for me to start obeying God, and to start giving effort to spend time with him, etc.
