Sin causes #Christians to become craven cowards who live in humiliating #defeat. They can’t stand up with courage against #sin because of the secret sin in their own lives. They excuse the sins of others because of the #disobedience in their own hearts and they can’t preach victory because they live in defeat. Some of them once knew what it was like to live victoriously, taking vengeance against sin, having fulfilled Christ’s righteousness in their own lives. They experienced the power, the courage, the blessings that come to those who are obedient to the Lord. Today they are but a shadow of their old selves. Now they hang their heads in shame, unable to look the world in the eye, victimized by a sin that rules their lives. A besetting sin has robbed them of their spiritual vitality and one enemy after another is raised up against them. –
A once mightily used #evangelist now sells cars in a small town in Texas. He once stood in the pulpit as a powerful preacher of the #Gospel and thousands were converted through his ministry. He became an #adulterer, left his wife and ran off with his girlfriend. In just a few weeks, he lost everything. That minister is now but a shell of his old self, to see him shuffle about, beaten down and sad-eyed, is pitiful! He lives in constant fear and spends sleepless nights thinking of what could have been. His anxieties have made him physically ill, he has heart pains, ulcers and hypertension. He has repented of his sin, but he cannot undo the past. God forgives, but people don’t.
A sixteen-year-old youth confessed to me, “I’m having #sex with my girlfriend. I’ve been reading what the Bible says about #fornication and #adultery and now I’m scared. I worry that God will have to #judge me if the #Bible is #true. I keep doing it and I’m full of #fear, #guilt and #worry. It seems like there are two people inside me – a good one and a bad one. I am afraid the bad person in me will overpower the good person and #God will have to give up on me. How can I make sure the good person in me gets the #victory?”
Both the #minister and the boy have been overpowered by their enemies of guilt, fear and depression. They are victims, defeated and humiliated by unseen enemies that threaten to destroy them. Sin always brings on the enemies. Sin weakens all resistance; it turns warriors into weaklings. Lust conceives, then it brings on sin, and sin brings on the enemy to destroy.
