Jesus can use your mistakes your failures and even your sins to draw you closer to Him!

Then He adds, Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more. Hebrews 10:17 NKJV

Is it possible for God to forget? God can choose not to recall!

Jesus is the Lord of second chances. He is the God of new beginnings. Jesus is the God of unlimited possibilities!

If you have received salvation through faith in the risen Lord your life is hidden in Christ. When God looks at you He does not see your sins failures and mistakes. He sees the righteousness of Jesus!

If you had never sinned or fallen short of the Glory of God His forgiveness would mean nothing to you. Jesus’ death would be meaningless. You did sin. It changes everything!

God called King David a man after His own heart. David understood the depth of God’s love for Him. David knew he was a sinful wretch when left to himself. David knew he was capable of great wickedness. He could never forget his sins failures and mistakes.

God used David’s sin to draw him into an intimate relationship. The Lord can use your sin to draw you closer to Jesus. That does not justify your sin. It is not an excuse to sin. It is an exhortation to keep moving forward in Jesus despite your sinful past.

God has put your sins behind His back. He chooses not to recall your evil deeds.

Today is a new day. It is an opportunity for a new beginning!

God can use your sins failures and mistakes for your good and His glory. How do we allow God to use our sins failures and mistakes for His glory?

If we surrender our hearts and lives to the One who offered Himself up for us God will put His desires into our hearts and minds!

God’s greatest commandments highlight His loving nature. They reveal His desires for us. They reveal the eternal blessings of people who love Jesus today!

God wants us to live in loving relationships with Him and each other. Our Heavenly Father wants to bless us with His love. He wants us to be blessed by our love for each other!

God wants the evidence of our love for Him to be seen in the way we live. Jesus wants our lives to reflect His loving nature. He wants us to be blessed by our loving relationships with each other!

You do not need to forget your sins failures and mistakes. You do need to forgive yourself for them. Jesus forgives you. Forgive yourself!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very hour. Acts 16:16-18 NKJV

The slave girl was speaking the truth. She was possessed by an evil spirit. The evil spirit was drawing people away from Christ!

This attack came as God’s servants went to prayer. The enemy of our souls attacks when we step out in faith. Satan seeks to distract us. He wants us to focus our attention on things other than Jesus.

The devil perverts the truth. He uses it against us. No one can serve two masters. This girl was speaking the truth about Paul and his companions while practicing witchcraft. When people claim to speak for God we must consider how they live.

The girl followed the disciples for several days before they cast the demon out of her. It is important for us to wait on the Lord before stepping out in faith. The bible tells us Paul was greatly annoyed by this girl. Paul was not fearful. The Lord was with Him!

Paul and Silas were put in jail. The owners of the slave girl were angry at the loss of income when the demon was cast out of her. While Paul and Silas were in jail they shared the gospel with the jailer. His entire household was saved.

God uses Satan’s attacks for His glory and our salvation!

Satan is a real being. He takes people captive to do his will. There really are demons who seek to destroy God’s people and bring destruction to our world.

We have nothing to fear from the devil or his demons when we live according to God’s will. We have nothing to fear from anyone or anything when we step out in faith to serve Jesus!

Jesus wants us to fear Him and Him alone. He wants us to know His power and authority are unequaled in all of creation.

God wants you share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the people in your life. Jesus wants you to walk in great boldness because He is with you everywhere you go!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

Jesus can use your mistakes your failures and even your sins to draw you closer to Him!
