CAN YOU STOP SINNING IN YOUR OWN POWER?


The whole world is in the power of the evil one, because of sin. The
reason for sin and corruption is lust. People sin when they follow
their own sinful desires. People become addicted and demon possessed
when they open the door to demons through sin, watching TV,
pornography, reading evil books, like Harry Potter, video games, and
substance abuse. Then they become compelled and driven by evil forces
that seek to destroy them. They lose control of themselves. They are
slaves to sin and cannot escape. The wages of sin is death. The soul
that sins will die. As long as you keep on sinning you are doomed and
destined for hell and destruction.
 
That
is why Jesus came, to take away the sins of the world, to set the
captives free, those who are bound by sin. We read in John 1:29, John
the Baptist saw Jesus coming to him and said:"Behold, the
Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” 
 
Only
Jesus can set you free from the bondage of sin. We read in John 8:34
Jesus said: “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin
is the slave of sin. 35“The slave does not remain in the house
forever; the son does remain forever. 36“So if the Son makes you
free, you will be free indeed. If the Son of God, Jesus, sets you
free. You will not be a slave to sin any more, you will be FREE from
the bondage of sin.
 
If
you come to Jesus and ACCEPT Him, He will set you free and make you
NEW inside, a child of God. We read in John 1:12 “But as many as
received Him, to them He gave the power to become children of God,
even to those who believe in His name, 13who were born, not of blood
nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.”
You MUST be BORN AGAIN.
 
If
you RECEIVE Jesus, EMBRACE Him, ACCEPT Him as you Lord and Master,
COME TO Him, bow down before Him, SUBMIT yourself to Him; PRAY, cry
out to Him to SAVE you, He will save you from your sin. He will set
you free from the bondage of sin, but you need to stay with Jesus and
OBEY Him, to stay free.
 
Repent,
turn away from sin and from your previous lifestyle of worldliness
and going after the desires of the flesh.
 Follow
after Jesus,  stop sinning, live holy. Be baptized in water
for the forgiveness of your sins. Live according to
the words of 
 Jesus as they were
recorded in Matthew,  Mark,  Luke and John. 
 
If
you turn away from Jesus and go back to sin, you will
become MORE ENSLAVED than before you met Jesus, you will be
worse off than before. That is why many Christians
are wicked 
 sinners who are
unable to stop sinning. No wonder that the writer of Hebrews
wrote
 in Hebrews 6:4 “For
in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted
of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy
Spirit, 5and
have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to
come, 6and then
have
fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance,
since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to
open shame. 7For
ground that drinks the rain which often falls on it and brings forth
vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is also tilled, receives
a blessing from God; 8but
if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless and close to being
cursed, and it ends up being burned.
” 
It
is however not the end of the line for those who have back-slided.
There is hope
 if such a person truly
repents, as we see in the parable of the
 prodigal
son
 in Luke 15:11-32. If
you are a prodigal son or daughter, RUN back to the
Father's
 house before
it might be forever too late.
 
Sinners
will NOT enter heaven, if they do not repent and stop sinning.
Without holiness no
 one will see the
Lord.
 As long as you keep sinning, you
are DEAD in sin and DOOMED to damnation.
 
You
can only stay FREE FROM SIN as long as you stay with Jesus. Without
Jesus we can do nothing.  If you sin and end up in
hell, you only have yourself to blame, because you rejected
Jesus and went away from Him. 
 
Run
to Jesus. Ask Him to save you. Then obey and stay
 with
Him. Be holy and SIN NO MORE.
 
May
Jesus bless you.
