Romans 6:11,NIV
In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Romans 6: 11, NIV If you believe that Jesus died and rose in the grave to save you, then you ought to live a new life with Him. You are already dead to sin, just as Jesus died on the cross. Stop living in the darkness. Instead, choose to follow the ways of God. Jesus will lead you to experience the fullness of this life. Stay in His presence and listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit so that you will always be guided. Let the grace that Jesus poured out on the…

Your Fears will lead you to Build Big Walls around your Heart
The pain that you experienced in the past will create fear in your heart. If you don’t properly go through the healing process, you will always build walls to protect yourself.

You won’t be able to receive love if you keep on trying to remember the pain.

Romans 5:19, NIV
For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous. Romans 5:19, NIV We are made sinners because of Adam’s disobedience. He chose to follow his own will. Because of this one man, sin is now flowing through our blood. This is the reason why nobody is perfect. No matter how much we try to do good things, we still can’t help but embrace our identity as a sinner. Because of this, God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ. And through His obedience, we are made righteous. It’s His blood…

Give yourself the Chance to Change
There is still hope. You can still see changes in your life. All you need to do is give yourself a chance to try and take small steps one at a time. Change won’t happen if you won’t cooperate. No matter how much God wants you to experience new things, still, He will acknowledge your freedom to make decisions. He will move through the things that are happening around you, but He won’t usually intervene against your free will. He will present certain situations that will give you the opportunity to change into a better person, but it’s up to you if you will abide in Him or not. That’s…

Romans 4:20-21, NIV
Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he has promised. Romans 4: 20-21, NIV This verse refers to Abraham. God promised to give Him a son, but Abraham needed to wait for so long to see this promise fulfilled.
