keep wringing out sin + running back to Our Father God who’s ready to show us grace, forgiveness + love ♥️
my grandma instilled in me that churches/pastors must: preach directly from the Word of God & walk with the fruits of the Spirit 🔥
@Philip Anthony Mitchell is focused solely on preaching from scripture, is following through on the great commission + walks with the fruits of the Spirit ✝️
if you’ve been hurt or let down by a pastor, church or church member i hear you & i’m sorry for that
but the Lord wants you to come home to Him & grow in your personal relationship with your Father God
let’s not idolize any man or woman, instead please open your heart, pray on it & start listening to this pastor’s sermons which focus on scripture, especially on the book of Matthew
i promise he has a word for YOU that’s directly from Our Lord
let’s stay locked in on truly following Jesus, reading & living out His Word & sharing the gospel w/others 🙏🏽 ily
Understanding how to truly 'flee from sin' and run to God, as instructed in 1 Timothy 6:11, has been a transformative experience for me. It’s not just about avoiding wrong, but actively pursuing righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, and gentleness. I used to think fleeing from sin meant just trying harder, but I've learned it's so much more about leaning into God's power and grace. For a long time, I struggled with recurring patterns in my life. I'd repent, try to do better, and then find myself falling back into the same traps. It felt like I was just treating sin 'like a pet,' acknowledging it but never truly dealing with it. Then, I realized the Bible calls us to 'kill it,' to actively 'keep wringing it out,' and 'run from it.' This isn't just a suggestion; it's a command for our spiritual health and freedom. One of the most powerful steps I took was learning to 'throw myself on the altar' of God’s mercy. It’s a posture of complete surrender, realizing I can't overcome sin in my own strength. That's when I truly started to understand the 'love of the Savior' and 'what He did for me on the cross.' The Lord came, lived a perfect life, and died a sacrificial death to nail the punishment for my sins on the cross. He rose again and gave us the Holy Spirit, who is 'the power of Christ on the inside' for us to 'live a brand new life.' Receiving the Holy Spirit and truly understanding this love empowered me. I remember thinking, 'I've been empowered!' It's not about trying to earn forgiveness or freedom; it's about receiving it and letting the Holy Spirit guide you. Since then, I've made it a daily habit to read my Bible and listen to teachings that are deeply rooted in scripture. This consistent spiritual nourishment helps me recognize sin and 'turn away from sin' more readily, knowing 'He's forgiven me.' It’s a continuous journey of repentance and running back to Our Father God, who is always ready to show us grace, forgiveness, and love. If you're struggling, remember you're not alone. God wants you to come home to Him and grow in your personal relationship. Just open your heart, pray, and let His Word transform you. It's truly life-changing when you embrace the power He's given us to flee from sin and pursue Him.
