Discerning Sin

[Albert Finch]

Matthew 7:5 - You hypocrite! First take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

 

JESUS CONDEMED SIN. AND WE CONDEMN SIN ALSO, BUT THE SIN WE MUST CONDEMN FIRST IS THE SIN OF JUDGING OTHERS, FOR IT OBSCURES OUR VISION FROM DISCERNING SIN IN OURSELVES.

 

Affirmation

 

I WILL NEVER BECOME HOLY BY CRITICIZING OTHERS; NOR AM I BROUGHT NEARER TO GOD THROUGH FINDING FAULT.

 

Galatians 5:18-21 - But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest......which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

 

Affirmations

 

I CONFESS THAT IT IS NO LONGER I WHO LIVE, BUT JESUS CHRIST LIVES IN ME!

I HAVE WALKED IN THE FLESH LONG ENOUGH; NOW I WALK IN THE SPIRIT.

I LET THE HOLY SPIRIT PRODUCE THE LIFE OF JESUS CHRIST IN ME.

 

John 6: 5,7 - When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? Philip answered Him, Two hundered pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.

 

Affirmation

 

WHEN I GET OUTSIDE OF MYSELF AND BEGIN TO THINK INSIDE THE WORD OF GOD, I GET OUTSIDE OF MY LIMITATIONS AND INTO THE LIMITLESS POWER OF ALMIGHTY GOD!
