As a result, he does not live the rest of his earthly life for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God.<\/em><br \/>\n1 Peter 4:1-2<\/div>\n<div class=\"\u201dMsoNormal\u201d\">Peter, who had failed Christ at one time, held the keys to the Kingdom when he wrote the words of these verses. Just as there were early skeptics who thought pioneer aviators could not overcome the earth\u2019s gravity, skeptics today do not believe that you can be done with sin, even though this scripture tells you that you can. The skeptics say that you are wasting your time, you are arrogant, and you are dreaming. When you fall down, they gloat and mock, saying, &#8220;Well, what is the matter? I thought you could overcome sin.&#8221; Skeptics exist inside AND outside the church building, and some even live with you. They will say, &#8220;Once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic,&#8221; or &#8220;Once you become obese, you will just have to \u2018watch it\u2019 for the rest of your life.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"\u201dMsoNormal\u201d\">But re-read Peter\u2019s statement above. Is this not one of the most exciting things you have ever read? I have broken free of the refrigerator\u2019s magnetism, and it no longer exerts a gravitational pull on me. I am flying, and you can, too. Let\u2019s imitate the pioneer pilots who reached their goals by setting their minds on what was NOT seen (their dreams of flying) rather than on what WAS seen (their skeptics and the early, inevitable failures). Sin is a rebellious attitude that does not want to submit. But the exciting truth is that you have everything you need to turn it around and be DONE WITH SIN! You can do it!<\/div>\n<div><em>(Excerpt from Exodus Devotional: Laying Down Your Idols, by <a href=\"\/\/www.weighdown.com\u201d\" target=\"\u201d_blank\u201d\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gwen Shamblin Lara)<\/a><\/em><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just as there were early skeptics who thought pioneer aviators could not overcome the earth\u2019s gravity, skeptics today do not believe that you can be done with sin&#8230;The skeptics say that you are wasting your time, you are arrogant, and you are dreaming.
