Our paragraph topic is: (Fraternal correction) Part 7.
The battle is against sin and the weapon is love. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that man would be saved from sin. Man had sinned against the command of God. But God was so loving that he was merciful. God was so loving that he, through his mercy, allowed man to be saved. He did not have to. He was not compelled to. But he wanted that mankind, his precious creation, would not be lost to condemnation.
Christ came to take back. Christ came to win back. Christ came that man would have a chance to be born again in new life. Man disobeyed the command of God and sin entered the world. And sin ruled the world until Christ came. And Christ restored what was lost. Christ gave man life by paying the penalty for disobedience, the judgment for transgressing, the restitution needed to make whole again. But sin does not give up. Sin does not let go. Sin does not release its captive until forced to do so.
And Christ told his disciples that he gave them the power to separate. He gave them the power to remove sin. He gave them the power to loose sin from the soul of man by force. He told them: "And whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed also in heaven."
Be gone sin! Be gone lust! Be gone addiction! Be gone evil! By the power of Christ Jesus I loose thee. By the power of Christ Jesus I loose thee from me, from my brother, from my sister! Be gone! Separate thyself from this person and enter in no more. I bind thee by the name of Christ Jesus to enter no more into this person. These are the powers that Christ told his disciples. Whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Whatever you cast out on earth shall, by the power of heaven, be carried out by the angels in heaven.
The battle is against sin and the weapon is love. The weapon is the love of God the Father for his children here on earth. Sin will come. Sin will tempt. Sin will enter. And sin will seek to take over, to control, to occupy, to drown the light of life completely until there is nothing but darkness within. But Christ came. Christ conquered. Christ rose again. And Christ lives forever seated at the right hand of the father. And he gave us the power to bind and loose that will be a command executed by the angels in heaven.
Christ came. But he did not leave us alone and lonely. For he watches over us in heaven. He sends us the Advocate for those who seek him. He protects us for those who want protection. He provides for us for those who want provision. He is our fulfillment for those who want to be fulfilled. For his love overwhelms. His love is complete. His love is all. And the his counsel is our guide. Come! Know the truth of who you are in him. Seek to find the light of life that is within you that you may know the Advocate. For with him, and through him, and by him all will be revealed.
Read the sign of the times! Read the Highlighted New Testament Bible and lift the scales from your eyes that you may see, that you may know, that you may find the truth of who you are in Christ. Read it as though you would read a good book, from cover to cover, and see for yourself. Do not study it in parts reading one passage and then skipping to another, but read it for understanding. Read it for knowledge. Read it for faith. Read it that your eyes may be opened, that your ears may hear, that your heart may be filled with the light of Christ. The Holy Spirit awaits you. Christ seeks to know you. Open the door and let him in.
