Sanctification Can Be Lost

Sanctification Can Be Lost A Christian can lose sanctification, or...

A Christian can lose sanctification, or the second work of grace. But, you may ask, wouldn't someone jealously guard such a precious gift? Often, Christians lose the blessing by refusing to testify of it. They may also lose sanctification if they allow the soul to become burdened again, or through deliberate disobedience or neglect.

Usually, the loss is not sudden. Rather, it's a gradual, slow leakage of joy, liberty, and power. For example, you may lack the deep, steady peace in your heart that you used to have. Instead of freely testifying, you feel afraid. At prayer meetings or in personal witness, your tongue is paralyzed. Or, when you do testify and pray, your words lack power.

Do you know the blessed peace and joy of this second work of grace? If so, do you jealously guard it? Or are you sensing it slowly leak away?

Judas?

Judas? Judas had a hidden agenda and would... Judas had a hidden agenda and would not accept Jesus for who he is because his expectations were not being met. Have you dealt with this Judas spirit or will you allow it to destroy you? You need not be a Judas but must allow Jesus to fully change you and deal with bitterness, resentment, pride, judgment and/or your lack of love. Do it quickly because this Judas spirit will quickly lead to betrayal and you will become a betrayer. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=10162&feed_id=4077

The First Love - 2004 In this Christmas season and in our cul... In this Christmas season and in our culture it's a great temptation to sentimentalize the birth of Jesus. Today's message cuts directly against that, with the question of what is your first love (from Jesus message to the church of Ephesus)? That can be readily determined by looking at your checkbook and reviewing how you've spent your time and resources. Does the first love of Jesus burn in your heart and is that the focal point of your life or is there another love? It's time to get serious and deal with this issue, will you do so today??? https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=11206&feed_id=2743
