Let us throw off - Heb 12:1

"So let us throw off any sin that stands in our way. Let us throw off any sin that holds onto us so tightly" - Hebrews 12:1

This verse talks about SIN. What is Sin? Sin is -


Missing the mark
Not living up to God's moral standards.
Disobedience to Divine law.
An inward element, presence or power that produces immoral actions.


Sin breaks our relationship with God. It blocks our path. Sin is all of that stuff above! But Sin can lead us to disobeying God. It can stop us from having prayerful lives. "Be on your guard, stand firm in the Faith" (1 Cor 16:13). We can stop sin from stopping us being close to God! There are lots of ways that we can keep in touch with God! Like...

-Praying (1 Peter 5:8 says 'Your enemy the Devil prowls around like a lion looking for someone to devour')

- Reading Our Bible ("Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path" - Psalms 119:105)


Sometimes, doing what God wants is hard and we want to do the "passing pleasures of Sin" but if we cling on to God, our reward in Heaven will be great. "By Faith, Moses refusing to be called the son of Pharoah's daughter, chose rather to suffer ill treatment with God's people than enjoy the passing pleasures of Sin" (Heb 11:24-25)




Let us throw off any Sin that holds on to us! And let us bring closer the Word of God to our lives!

What makes faith work? Learn MORE about faith in this devotional...

"That according to the riches of His glory, He may grant you to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith..." - Ephesians 3:16-17 KJV Okay. I wanted to talk a little bit more on faith. When Paul writes 'dwell in your hearts through faith' what does it mean? This means that we have to show our confidence and belief in Christ, before He comes into our hearts. He knows when we want to trick Him or not. So don't bother being cunning! Because wisdom comes from the Lord! So, if our human efforts cannot make faith to work, what can? (Zechariah 4:6) Our confidence and belief in Jesus! We just have to say, "Jesus, take care of this for me. I don't want to any more. I can't do it by my own power." Acknowledging that you can't do it alone, gives you the first step forward. Then comes the hard bit. When I mean hard, I mean HARD. Because most people people fall away aft...

Why remain pure? Learn about pureness in this amazing devotional....

Key = Blue = Scripture  Red = Answers to questions  Green = Verses to read in your spare time. Black = Normal post Bold = Question  "Call unto Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." - Jeremiah 33:3.  Many people either don't believe in God, or become atheists, partly because of this question: Why doesn't God answer some of my prayers?  Answer: This is because of your heart.

Ask yourself these questions and their surely will be an answer.  But why must I ask myself these questions?  " So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart" - 2 Timothy 2:22    If we are not thinking good thoughts or have sinned by mistake or not, we have sta...

Humble Is Best!

Direct my footsteps according to your Word; let no sin rule over me. Psalm 119:133  |  NIV   We need to let God's Word rule our lives, directing our footsteps on our journey through life. God is our Director leading us-even of the path LOOKS right, it doesn't mean it IS right. God knows best so we shouldn't be no-it-alls. Humble your self!
