Untitled Sermon

Read May god add a blessing to the reading of his word amen!

Okay in these verses Paul wants to remind us what we were once like and what we were called out of. verse one says you were dead in your transgression and sins in which you used to live when you followed the ways of the world. This speaks about being in a state of darkness absence of light. Darkness is described in the webster dictionary as wickedness or evil or partial or total absence of light. It seemed that darkness was here from the beginning of creation, and gods power worked against it in creation verse 2 it says the earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. verse 3 and god said let their be light and their was light. and god saw that the light was good. and god separated the light from the darkness. this darkness the bible speaks about comes from transgression and or sin.in sin we are dead. sin is the death of a soul. whenever sin prevails whenever it overcomes gains victory and win their is privation which means The loss or absence of a quality lacking spiritual life. mmm a state of sin is a state of conformity to this world we live in. conformity to this world is to fulfill the desires of our flesh and moreover the mind and it produces an ungenerate soul which is dead in trespass which is basically an unlawful act causing injury to a person.i understand this so well because i once walked this way not renewed in heart and in spirit unrepented in darkness gratifying the cravings of my flesh why i understand this passage so well because it speaks about me and how i once walked.we all have once walked a life full of greed, mischeif or the sydrome i suffered from (my ow way). see i was raised in church all my life but it had nothing to do with my relationship with god which was not right i have done ,many things which led me down roads that were for my harm and not my good. when paul speaks of this conformity of the world he speaks to me as well as other who have once too lived in this darkness he describes. This dark state that we were once in causes even us to lose or life but God who is rich in mercy i always have to remind myself this. walking according to my flesh giving i to wayward thought! as i think back to these days i cant comprehend what i was thinking moreover doing. This darkness i was in landed me into prison at a very young age of my life my grandmother used to always say to me when i would roam in and out of the house to the streets agin Tasha Their is something waiting for you up the road but of course i looked at her like she was the crazy one and i continued with what i was doing robbing and stealing fighting cursing smoking and hanging with my friends not having a care in the world. i literally did not care yea i loved God i was on ministry in my church singing on the choir but going home living according to my own flesh i didnt seem to understand life at all. all i did know was that i was enjoying the way i was living which was a path straight to hell. i didn't care how i talked to people and if their was a problem all i knew was to handle that with fighting which produced anger in me. I was literially a time bomb waiting to go off. deceived from satan from the will of God. It was when i went to prison that i had plenty of time to think about my life and i begin to read the only book that i felt to help me and that was the bible i still didn't really know what i was reading because i have never searched god but i had an intrest for theology although i was involved in various crimes and deceit. i would always wonder who was i why am i here moreover what am i suppose to be doing and because i didn't understand this question it cause me to do my own thing. as we look around in society we see people who do their own thing we see people living other people images because the dnt know what their identity is!!!!!!
