Responsibility

One who does not take responsibility For their wrong-doings can by No means place them at My feet... And until one faces their hurts, By no means can I heal them... For the placing of blame turns the shoulder, And reluctancy hinders the heart... Yet perfect love casts out fear, And the one who truly knows Me trusts In My ways and embraces My correction... Says The Lord.

Blessed Are Those Who Overcome for My Name’s Sake

From YahuShua HaMashiach, Our Lord and Savior

The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy

For Someone Who Asked if They Can Still Serve The Lord as a Pastor Even Though They Are Homosexual, and For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear

Thus says The Lord to His servant, whom He loves: You seek Me, and this is very good. Yet if you wish to please Me, then you must first become My disciple, a devoted servant who walks in My ways.

My son, I have not forsaken you. If you ask of Me forgiveness, I shall surely forgive you, even for all you have done. Yet to continue in those same sins, for which you had sought forgiveness, is most unpleasant in My sight. For by doing so, you have made My forgiveness of no effect. For that which requires forgiveness is the very same from which you must depart, lest your repentance become unrepentance, crucifying Me again and again in your heart.

For repentance is more than the asking...

It must come from a deep desire to be set free

In My love, followed by a sincere unyielding

Commitment to make your love perfect

Through obedience...

The shedding of the skin of this world,

The crucifying of your old man with his sinful ways...

The putting on of the new man who is

Renewed in the knowledge of The Holy One,

Conforming to the image of Him who created him...

Says The Lord.

My son, there is none righteous in all the world, no, not one.[1] All have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God.[2] Behold, even Timothy, a man who I have given to hear My voice, does continually stumble. Yet when he is weak, he becomes strong. For My grace is sufficient for him, and My strength is made perfect in his weakness.[3] For he does not cease from coming to Me, laying himself at My feet in repentance, taking full responsibility for his actions, remorseful over those things which yet cause him to stumble, being fully tempted as all men. For I have not yet delivered My people out of temptation; nor has the evil one been bound in the abyss (this time is not yet). Yet from the power of sin, which is death, I have surely delivered you - if you so choose to receive of Me fully, if you so choose to embrace Me as I truly am, if you so choose to remain in My love.[4]

Therefore you know the answer to your question already, for all is written in the Scriptures of Truth. Shall one, who does that which is an abomination in the eyes of God, serve Me? He may not. For as it is written: No one who actively engages in or passively practices homosexuality shall inherit The Kingdom of God.[5] Behold, even all who voice their agreement shall be left outside the gate,[6] says The Lord. Yet if one comes to Me and asks of Me forgiveness, even a continual washing in My own blood, he shall surely have it; even if he comes to Me seven times, or seventy times seven times, he shall be forgiven.[7] For I forgive all those who come to Me in sincerity and in truth, and draw near to those of a contrite heart, delivering those of a humble spirit.

Beloved, by this then

Shall our love be made perfect...

You shall abstain from that which is

Not lawful, and make every effort

To depart from that which is an

Abomination in the eyes of God...

You must strive to be completely separate

From that life, presenting your body

As a living sacrifice to The Lord...

Blameless.

For that which is unnatural is universally known, though the men and women of this world deny it. And that which is against God shall be purged by fire. Even all that offends shall be destroyed and come to a swift end. Therefore, My son, take up your cross and follow Me as I am, and not as you or the churches of men would have Me be. For as it is written: Whoever loves their mother, father, sister, brother, child or close friend, more than Me, is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take up his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. For he who holds onto his life in this world will lose it, yet he who gives up his life for My sake will find it.[8]

So then, do I call you to serve Me? I do, if you are willing to serve Me in all righteousness, without compromise. Do I then require that you be perfect? No. For there is none perfect, save The Holy One of Israel. Rather I require that you strive to be unto Me a servant of pure heart, of pure intention, a disciple who loves Me with all his heart, understanding and strength, and also loves his neighbor as himself.[9] For it is written and remains standing, that one can not be crowned unless they strive lawfully.[10]

My son, I am the fulfillment of The Law, the very goal at which the Torah aims.[11] Thus all those who embrace Me are freed from the curse of The Law, but by no means are they now free to forsake The Law. Rather let The Law be written in your heart, for now you are under grace, and by the power of My own spirit are you now able to keep The Law[12]... Beloved, come to Me and receive! Let Me wash you and make you clean, that you may now arise and walk in My ways.

Therefore again I say to you, serve Me as I am, and not as you would have Me be. Yet turn away unto strange flesh, and I shall also turn away from you, leaving you in the midst of the earth, until you are truly ready to give up your life for My sake.[13] My son, come out from among them and be separate,[14] and I shall give you a cool drink of water, for you are yet thirsty. Hear My words and understand. For My words are life for those who walk in them. And if you walk in them, then you are really My disciple,[15] says The Lord.

So here it is. I used to drink. I know it wasn't good for me, and I was back walking with the Lord. I started praying Lord please take the desire for alcohol away from me. I still drank but something happened. When I would get up to get a drink, one of my grandchildren would call me and need me. After that I either forgot or just didn't want it. This kept happening. Each time I wanted a drink, there would be a distraction God would put in my path. Shortly thereafter, the desire was gone. Completely. I have been around it with family etc. but I am completely set free. When I look at a bottle it makes me sick to think about it. Whatever it is God is more than able and His grace is more than enough. I hope this helps.

Jesus is a merciful God. All he asks of us is to come to Him with a sincere heart and ask him to forgive our sins. All he asks of us is to try with all our might to not commit that sin. He knows of our sinful nature and will forgive us if we go to Him asking for forgiveness. We need to let God know of our sins each night and asking for forgiveness Our souls need to be keep pure because we do not know the day or our of his return. If a sin is difficult to overcome ask God in prayer for his help
