Have you ever wondered how is it that when we used to sin it was done with no reservations? We were fine doing it because, hey, it was what we wanted to do. However, since you have received the Holy Ghost, all of a sudden, you question doing it. You feel terrible at even the thought of it. Why is that? Well my friends it is a little thing called a nature change!
2 Peter 1:4 - Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
When you received the Holy Ghost, your nature changed from being sinful into being godly (divine). Sin is no longer our nature, it just does not feel good anymore, it is not us.
God is not pleased with sin and neither are you. It was established yesterday that trials are set to prove God in us, we feel His presence and experience Him the more. When the trial has passed we are able to smile, rejoice and say, THANK YOU FATHER, I see You, I see You’.
So do not allow past failure to determine your future. Doing that leads to nothing but self-resentment, pity, and depression. We generally find ourselves thinking this way when we are at a low point. I have been there on numerous occasions and nothing good comes from it except the knowledge that, well, "I should not be here". The reason we get here is, somewhere along the line, we did not obey our conscience, so lowness has replaced the peace we are entitled to.
Nevertheless, there is hope. Repent and then rejoice and again I say rejoice because His grace is sufficient for you. He is able to carry you through this trial! His strength is made perfect in our weakness. The joy of the Lord is your strength. Do not hang your head low feeling depressed, for we know all things work together for good to them that love God. Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.
