2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
This scripture from 2 Chronicles 7:14 is from the word of God that can not lie. It is telling us that are called by His name, to humble ourselfs, pray and seek His face, and turn away from our wicked ways, Then He will hear from heaven, and... will forgive our sin, and He will heal our land.
He is not telling us to cover our sin and wicked ways under His grace but He is calling us to true repentance. I thank God for His Mercy and Grace and I don't take it lightly. I know that with out it, I would have most likely been dead and buried phyically a long time ago.
I was dead in the bonds of sin and a sinful lifestyle of living the life of a homosexual. Just because the homosexual lifestyle has become accecptable in these morden times it is still just as much sin now as it was from the beginning of time.
When I repented of my sin and accepted Jesus Christ as my personal saviour I no longer wanted to be lead by the desires of my sinful flesh and I tried many ways to over come. But it was not until I came to the realization that no matter how hard I tried I could not over come my sinful ways on my own.
It is through and by The Cross and Jesus Christ and all that Jesus accomplished there am I able to be free and receive complete forgiveness of my sin. And it is by my cling to The Cross and Jesus am I able to continue to walk in Gods forgiveness and remain free from my sinful ways of the past.
I am not speaking judgement or condemnation on anyone but I am speaking the truth out of love that sexual relations between any two people male/female - male/male - female/female outside of the sainity of marrage between one man and one woman is sin.
We can not continue to walk and live a conscience life in sin and expect it to be covered by grace.

Isaiah 53:6
This morning as I sit down and meditate on Gods Word, I ask God to show me how each scripture of His Word either leads to or back to The Cross. In my being enlightened of how very important The Cross is and how it was there that Jesus paid all my sin debt it opens up to me a new revelation that I had never seen for myself before.
I have been hearing for quite sometime now that God is doing a new thing! a new thing! and all the while it was very confusing to me. I did not and could not understand what was being said and taught.
Now from what God has been revealing to me, God, is not doing a new thing, but, He is drawing those who will, willing open their eyes to see and their ears to hear and their hearts to receive what has been all along and that is back to The Cross Of Jesus Christ and all that was accomplished there on their behalf.
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53:6
In the above verse of scripture, I see how we, "Christian", as little sheep have turned away, from the simple message of The Cross and we are going about all kinds of means to find our Salvation and Saving Grace. We (blindly but not necessarly purposely) are looking for ways that are pleasing to our flesh or makes us feel good about ourselves or we are following what another man has come up with as a means for us to receive our salvation. While some of these things sound good and look good and may even seem to be scriptual they are taking us away from The Cross and all that was accomlished there.
It is through and by, "THE CROSS" where "JESUS", paid the sin debt ONCE, ONE TIME and ONE TIME ONLY for ALL MAN KIND who will receive. To try to receive salvation in any other means other than by Jesus and The Cross is sin and will fail.
Jesus expressed His passion for ALL man kind, when He willing took on the iniquity of us all on The Cross.
It is my prayer that all will come into the enlighting of "The Message Of The Cross" and all will be willing to open their eyes to see, their ears to hear and their hearts to receive this message that God is bring forth in these last days before the second coming of Christ.
Father, I pray that all your childern will seek your perfect will for their lives. I pray that we all, will ask that you conform us to your way and change us to be what you woud have us to be. That we all would have the desire to lay down self, and open ourselves up, to receive correction and guidance through and by The Holy Spirit. Help us, Lord, to seperate ourselves from the things and the ways of this world. Lord, open our eyes to see, our ears to hear and our hearts to receive all you have accomplished for us by and through The Cross and the shed Blood of your precious Son, Jesus Christ. Thank you, Lord, for you passion for us all that you would send your Son to cover the sin debt of us all. Help us, Lord, to reconize our sin, repent of our sin, turn away from our sin and walk a new in the cleansing blood and forgiveness through the perfect lamb who was and is Jesus Christ the one and the only means of our Salvation and Saintifacation through The Cross. In Jesus, name I pray. Amen
