Powerful sermon, yet I...
12:48 AM
Being free from GuiltMeaning of Guilt :
1. the fact or state of having committed an offense, crime, violation, or wrong, esp. against moral or penal law; culpability: He admitted his guilt.
2. a feeling of responsibility or remorse for some offense, crime, wrong, etc., whether real or imagined. Guilt= SinHow to free from Guilt
a) Repent from all your sins
b)Reset expectations of yourself
c) Release yourself from the unreasonable expectations of others
Example: DavidPs 51:10-11
Create in me a clean heart, O God
And renew a steadfast spirit within me,
Do not cast me away from Your Presence
And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.Hui mei preached a very powerful sermon today, well at least it was powerful to me. The sermon was on Guilt- the very creature that raptures our heart, unknowingly. She quoted an example from the Bible- our dearest King David, the man who was known to be after God's own heart, yet he sinned, yes, there is no typo error, he did sinned against God, and there is only one word to describe his acts- horrible ( well, if you can think of more words, go ahead alright). Not only did he commit adultery with some sexy woman, he went on to murder her. GOSH! he was the King! he had 500 wives, 300 strong men and 3 men that are willingly to lay down their lives for him, you must be thinking, what a man that has fame,power,authority and influence yet, he still sin against God.So, you must be thinking, such a man like him, deserve to be kicked in the ass right? YET he was still known as what? say it louder? i cannot hear you?......YES! the man that is after God's own heart. How was that possible? How can that ever happen? Well, the answer can be found in Ps 51: 10-11.He ran towards God. He admitted his mistakes and ask for Forgiveness, he repented. He wanted God to cleanse his heart, give him a new heart, a clean heart. He ran back to God.At the end of the day, he knew he needed God the most.So? What say you, my friend?? Do you have guilt in your own life that you haven't confess? that you cannot let go? Maybe it's time eh? you decide.What a powerful sermon Hui Mei preached and yet I...
