Don't Just Believe - From Brother Dean

Don't Just Believe 
1.What do you say when people say its impossible to stop sinning and that nobody is perfect? 
2.First understand that this is a false teaching that has gone out of control in the church for  decades because; Jesus said to the woman caught sleeping around "go and sin no more!" John  8:11 and Jesus told the man who had been sick for 38 years after healing him "go and sin no  more, unless a worst thing come upon you" John 5:14.  3.What does this tell us? That we can STOP sinning and God expects us to STOP sinning because  Jesus said it. Jesus said in Matthew 4:17 "Repent (change your old way of thinking, change your  inner-self) for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." This was his message, you must turn from  your sins and follow him (Jesus) 
4.Here's the confusion the false church is saying "iust believe and this isn't true. We need to  Repent, this means to: stop, think and turn (to go the other way.) 
5.Many Christians are being held captive in in chains of mental and spiritual bondage because  their saying "just believe". And their being held captive like a slave to; ust, fornication, adultery,  addiction, pornography, jealousy and hatred. They stay in bondage to whatever sin is controlling  them for years because, they only believe and they never repent and ask God to forgive them  6.The false church teaches that we all sin, NO. The Bible says that "all have sinned and fallen  short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23. When we fall short of the glory of God, repent and  line yourself back up to the will of God 
7. This happens because many are not taking the time to study God's word, to know what sin is.  8. What can disqualify you from heaven? Galatians 5:19-21 "Now the works of the flesh are  evident, which are adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred,  contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy,  murders, drunkenness, revelries,; and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told  you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 
9. When you study the Bible don't just read the Bible, study the bible. Matthew, Mark, Luke and  John. Break apart every verse every description Read it slow, take your time. 
10. Here's the key, a key does what? It unlocks dimensions and doors. When you come into the  back door of a house usually the kitchen you get in because, you used the right key to give you  access. The doors separate dimensions, they separate rooms, they separate living spaces inside 
11. Once you get the key (Jesus-death, burial and resurrection) to bring the flesh into  submission, it doesn't matter if your dealing with homosexuality, lesbianism, if you're a drinker, 
the home.  
a smoker, a toker, a midnight joker,  a liar, a fornicator, an adulterer you have the key to  overcome your sin. This is where many continually fall short. 
conversation with religious the blood people line who from are God saying we are were the the Blessed children ones. of  12. Jesus is having  Abraham, we are the chosen ones, we have  John 8:31-38 "To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said. -If you  the truth, and the truth will set you free.They  hold to my teaching. you  are really my disciples. Then you will know  answered him, "We are Abraham's descendants and have  never been slaves of anyone. How can  you say that we shall be set free?Jesus replied, very truly  I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave  to sin. Now a slave has ne permanent place in the family, but  son belongs to it forever. So if the  Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. I know you  are Abraham's,.descendants but. you seek  to kill me because my word has no place in you. I speak what I  have seen from my father and  you do what you have seen from your father."  13.What Jesus has just told them is what he's telling  us. Our pedigree our traditions, our fore  fathers, our church attendance, our tithing, our positions having  nothing to do with following  Jesus. 
14. If you don`t allow your mind to come into contact with the holy spirit, with a will to  God and walk with God in spirit and in truth you will never be set free from sin.  know  15. Sin can only be dominated by a real sincere relationship with Jesus Wherever sin is there is  bondage and where there is bondage you are defeated.  16. That S why God said let me grye you the key, Jesusis  that key. He will give you access to  freedom. You must become disciplined. That's S what a disciple a student is they are disciplined. 
17. Until you become disciplined in your mind, in your thoughts to eat the word, to to hear the  word and then bend your will to do the word. Jesus the key, won be able to set you free  t 
18. When Jesus shows up, the way, the truth and the light, as your disciplining your flesh and  your bending your will, your going to be set free  19. The foundation of Christianity is forgiveness of our sins first. Then. We forgive those who  have sinned against us and we start to walk with God in truth because who the son sets free is  free indeed! 
20. How do you know your  walking in truth?  there is a lack of discipline, bending your will over to the  Because where Christ. truth You is there will is remain peace in and bondage wherever to  s1.
