So Hebrews chapter 12 verse 1 and wash to your raised like this, we're forcing. We also I can pass them out with so great a cloud of witnesses. Let us lay aside every weight and the sin which does so easily beset us. Let us run with patience the race that is set before us looking to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith before the joy that was set before him endured the cross despising the shame and it sent down at the right hand of the Throne of god.

This morning the focus of our messages. I've been sitting saying that how to overcome then I wish the focus away. I want fries out of these two brochures you find in the grocery store and it says there's the sandwich that so easily beset us. That's the thing when it comes to running the way you have to understand that this is not a Sprint. It's not a 50-yard Dash but it is a lolicon. That's why the Bible says that he and I don't know what to the end shall be going to finish. It's about them knowing it's about falling and getting back up and keep going on and it shows the pictures that have surrounded a shape. It is a picture of him being in the stadium killing a shower and be successful. The restaurant every weight restrictions the things that keep you from doing as well as you want to read. He says you need to last I heard something about weight. I don't have to be necessary but it's things that become a distraction Google nature recreational activity can become lights if they take their eyes off of Jesus said shoot us up as we run this Race 2 songs that keep tripping and all the sudden you find yourself in it. Again, I would go to wish today that it is in our nature to be easily entangled in sin. And that's whether you're lost or shaved turn on the flash. When should I change to get Italian and then try again store the shed and there's the van Gogh shirt and sandwich more easily entangles. Each of us than others. You should eat your mush shark propensities for specific kinds of sins. He can be the cause we have in the past cultivated Hobbits and sub sandwich not play this even in our Salvation. Here's the thing, show me some people who lived our Christian Life and I got to struggle with addiction on the timer side until the time I get to hear baby. It's a horrible show to vacation in destruction by This Side of Heaven.
It also be the cause of our spiritual weakness even after becoming Christian told me you're you're not been in the shop as you need to be home or not the following Jesus as you need to follow him. So he is continuing to further deepen and then return to live that. Weasley in time with you. I will show you the worst today that every Christian have certain sins that easily capture them. We can list them. It can be lost to be raining or jealousy lying down an addiction better than or any number of things the fact there's all of us have ever say thanks in all of us have a habitual sin and you raise your head unless I pause flash. May. I can probably tell you what you're saying is it's Pride. Scrabble blind you to single real condition that are up to par. Gato what God does with the prom? Irresistible but it gives grace to the humble. I don't have it all together. But don't you think that download again don't you walk around with a coconut National shoulder strap back? Like I got my percentage of the seven things that God hates. He hates a proud look.
Vegetable that keeps tripping us up. Here's what I mean that thing that you keep confession to God that thing you keep trying to get rid of but it keeps coming back over and over and over again. You think you finally got it whip and all of a sudden it shows up. And I'm talking about today.
Is that what I'm saying is that we constantly struggle with it could be on my ass and gets us into trouble. Anyway constantly all over I was trying to take him out at you. Just can't quite seem to shake in your life. All the tears are some signs that don't tempt you at all. But there's one send maybe two sins that just keep coming back and you keep having to deal with you. Keep having to fight it. Chained to the Rhythm the reality is I don't have to worry about alcohol. I don't have to worry about things of that nature mother shirt things in my life that if I don't guard myself. I don't know you told me I could easily fall into it. And there's nothing the Devil he's a good study. He knows your weaknesses. That's why he'll try to get you in certain situations and in certain places around certain people because he knows if he can get you there you're going to But today we're going to talk about how to lay that Center side to put it away from me to put away send these promises dearly beloved. Let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the Flesh and spirit perfecting Holiness Riverside does the cleansing they just let us cleanse our show will have a part to play Romans 6-12. I had not shown there fluoride in your body that you should obey the Lush speaking 1st Peter 2:11 dearly beloved by the seat with strangers and pilgrims. Let me just remind you. We're not here in the Shelf to stay with her pilgrims passing through and it says there's no passing through you need to abstain from fleshly lust that wage war against the soul and you might be Did I pass the why did you put your message on overcoming the setting sent because we're about to step into a new year. I don't want you driving around the things you've been dragging on a 2018 to drag them with you in the 2090s. I hope this to be a better year for you and for me and I am and so we don't have to deal with over becoming the cat shedding skin. And so here's the question. How do we do that from a practical standpoint? I will let me just say this device that gives us the Holy Spirit conviction. He works and empowers and the power of God to help us deal with the settings and go to the holy spirit because we can't do nothing. But Jesus said sometimes practically that we can do the last side shedding shampoo. Sometimes we can do to help experience victory in our lives that will help you deal with the saint that so easily entangles you number one. Identify and admit you have a setting send out there. You have to identify an inmate that you have to admit and identify we have the shakes and will never overcome it. Punisher like I've heard it said this way you can watch something on like this. You can't come for what you're not willing to confront.
You can't talk or what? You're not willing to confront as long as you're trying to brush it aside. As long as you got to keep it in the corner somewhere as long as you want to try to put it under the rug. That's alright. Nobody else knows about this. If you're not willing to confirm that you can't cover it and if he's coming home today or so high, I don't have an issue with anything in my life. I need to talk with striking wood products in the world that you're going to write me a letter c
What is the fine if you don't have a problem you don't think struggle, but I probably rest of your life. It goes to show there's if you can admit you have a problem with seeing again Notions, probably Pride. and it's one of the hardest thing to do is I thought it was the middle letter of cnsi in it's all about I
so that's why I don't say that motion problems a problem. about
nobody here. Today is perfect. All of us have something that tempts us and draws us away from God. We all have something that causes us to fall from time to time. Everyone here it changes. Over our living things that we struggle with as a teenager. We don't struggle with as we get older. Are The Temptations still there? There's nothing most people when they're younger have to struggle with sex. But when you get older into more middle age, you start struggling with being successful as you get older in life if you are careful start struggling with security.
The temptation just changes, but it never goes away.
So we have something but constantly comes against the something that constantly plagues us and there's nothing some of our struggle some of our struggles with seeing is more obvious than others. But the fact is we all struggle with something you might have struggled with lust but your hearts full of greed. You got to struggle with drunkenness, but you're jealous of other people. Goosebumps I'm saying You know I struggle with addiction but you gossip about others. You have struggled under but you're not always honest in dealing with other people. Relatives if you'll take good image or even tried to discover that you haven't been standing since you have something that always seems to get the best of you from time to time in the first day of Dover coming cuz you got to identify what it is and you got to admit to yourself and the god. Hey y'all. This is my problem. This is my issue. And when you in recovery for alcoholics and people that is the first thing I have to do is to admit they have a problem.
Can you show me the times we coming here while I don't have a problem, but I don't know if I want to take care of everything.
Because you don't have some time off that we want to keep hidden and don't want nobody else know where and that's for the pulpit.
Well, I told you before I just did for me again. You don't have a perfect posture.
I have to live life just like you do. I have to fight against Temptation and the devil just like you do you cut me I bleed just like you do and I don't listen. I was Peter being the weather in Jesus walking on water.
Welcome to the Earth. I still have to deal with stuff.
And the first step to it, but hey, there's nothing I know what what my name is. Other what ditch me I don't want to avoid I know which people stay away from. But it's like if you're not willing to admit it and identify you keep doing it over and over and over again because you don't want to face up. Where's the second thing? Don't underestimate the seriousness of your singing. Important things that you need to remember that I'm talking about your machete. She has that you must never change the view of your sinfulness of end of its endpoints.
Morality is there are times when a crystal keeps falling into the same sin. And after time he can get used to it that he loses the sense of its seriousness in God's sight. Otherwise, he can't keep going down that path alone, but he no longer feels guilty after committing. It's been becomes tired of positioning in fighting it and so he just begins to excuse it as his own personal weakness. This is why I'm always going to be and he never fights anymore. And he starts making excuses rather than dealing with it. Trimming sugarcoating RCN is easiest way to give the devil a grip in your life. Sugar Company Goshen will cause you to be thrown further and further away from God. To one of the major reason we don't deal with seeing strongly and family is because we underestimate its seriousness to God. Let let me say this right now. She instills our joy Oceano was our fellowship with God. I shan't diminishes unfruitful associate robs us a piece of s*** and renders. Our shoulders shoes was are seeing tenders.

And this is what I've done and it'll open up the floodgates of God's mercy and don'ts rice and you can say God blessed night. That's not going to mean you're not going to have to do with consequences because you may very well still have to do with consequences, but you can being right fellowship with God you have to deal with a sin in your life and understand that this is serious. But here's the third thing you have to make no provision for sin make no provision for sin Romans 13:14. That's playing the Lord Jesus Christ to make no provision for the flesh people feel the love that we have to not get into the Flash and it's like we're not trying to do if your getting a license to the flash on anything that could cause us to give in to the lust of the flesh is what part of Shame you're not playing for saying dammit No Weapon by Fred no opportunity to kick the Dust Deputy won't have it in the house.

If we aren't careful will grow accustomed to harvest setting sin and will forget how serious it is and we'll keep on living in it and we thought it no more.
That means we'd all be a lot better if we pull our seeing what it is confession to God and turn from it. only the settings fans always dishonor God Oh my gosh. No matter how you look at it seeing a sin in God's eyes and All-Seeing dishonors him.
