Stop saying you know what you need to do but DO!! Are you waiting until pigs fly? You are but hardening your hearts and it will become more difficult tomorrow.
1 John 1:9 If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just (true to His own nature and promises) and will forgive our sins [dismiss our lawlessness] and [continuously] cleanse us from all unrighteousness [everything not in conformity to His will in purpose, thought, and action].
2 Timothy 2:21 So whoever cleanses himself [from what is ignoble and unclean, who separates himself from contact with contaminating and corrupting influences] will [then himself] be a vessel set apart and useful for honorable and noble purposes, consecrated and profitable to the Master, fit and ready for any good work.
1 John 3:2-3 (AMP) Beloved, we are [even here and] now God's children; it is not yet disclosed (made clear) what we shall be [hereafter], but we know that when He comes and is manifested, we shall [[a]as God's children] resemble and be like Him, for we shall see Him [b]just as He [really] is.3And everyone who has this hope [resting] on Him cleanses (purifies) himself just as He is pure (chaste, undefiled, guiltless).
Scripture says "whoever cleanses himself" will be as He is. He will only use those as vessels set apart who have cleansed themselves.
Cleanse yourselves by repenting, dying to yourselves, and crucifying that flesh. Stop feeding the demons of lust, resentment, jealousy, disobedience, hate, rebellion, impatience, slandering, drinking, drugs, smoking, cursing, foul language, idolizing, anger, short temper, partying with the world, loving the world, coveting, greed, etc etc!! He requires holiness!!
1 John 3:7 (AMP) [a]Boys (lads), let no one deceive and lead you astray. He who practices righteousness [who is upright, conforming to the divine will in purpose, thought, and action, living a consistently conscientious life] is righteous, even as He is righteous.
If you are the Righteousness of Christ, then such righteousness should be manifested from your lives through your actions in obedience to HIM. This is not a theory but a reality.
