-God will only go where you give Him opportunity to invade.
-You may be redeemed but still living in the consequences of the sin.
-Once you've exposed all the darkness to the light, you can begin the reconstruction process.
-Repairment doesn't happen quickly.
-The functional quality is more important than the external quality.
-As we become more functional, the external quality changes.
-Learning to truly understand why those hurtful things happened may never come but obeying God even if you don't understand is crucial.
1. Sin Bay-Repentance
--Things you've done against God.
-Titus 2:11-14
-Grace teaches you power to say NO.
-Where you are weak, you do not have to stay weak--Let the weak say I am strong.
-You will not be a slave any longer!
-Romans 12:1-2-Renew your mind, change the way you think.
-There's a big difference between forgiveness and repentance.
-You don't have to stay on a repetitive merry-go-round!
-Repentance is to change your mind, change your direction.
-Christians have lived in slavery forever.
-Let the chains fall, walk in that repentance.
-Refuse to let satan dominate you in that weak area in your life.
-His Word gives you the ability and grace to say NO!
-You're free to do whatever you want but it doesn't make you wise.
-Psalm 1
-We're not supposed to be babies our whole life--press on to maturity.
-Romans 6:17-18
-Just because you do not understand what God is asking, He knows what He is protecting you from.
-If the devil can't take you to hell, he'll make you impotent in this world.
2. Sin Bay-Restitution
--Things we have done against others.
-Restitution brings freedom!
-There are consequences to restitution.
-It is much more virtuous and right to be free and set right with God.
3. Areas of Decay
--Things that happened to you that were no fault of your own.
-How many times should we forgive Lord? -70 x 7!
-Mark 11, Matthew 18
-It's not your fault!
-On a regular basis, forgive, ask forgiveness.
-Ephesians 4:31-32-Get rid of and forgive!
-It's bad enough someone violated you, don't let what they did eat away at you.
-Forgiveness isn't a feeling, it's a choice!
-Revenge doesn't make you feel any better.
-We may not ever know why certain things happened to us but God's grace is sufficient and His restoration is real!
-You choose forgiveness, to not look back to the anger and to let go! (Ex. Use forgiveness scriptures to carry around for when you see or think of the person you have forgiven)
-Sin blinds you and makes you stupid.
-You choose to forgive and let go without waiting for them to ask!
