New Life Through the Holy Spirit

“Lord, I have really messed up my life. I wish I could just start over.” Have you ever felt this way? Maybe you are even wondering if life is worth living because of past mistakes or bad circumstances. You cannot change your past—it is firmly set in history. However, you can start over, no matter where you are right now, no matter where you may have been. Jesus is right there waiting for you to come home to him, so he can make everything right again. You can decide in your heart to let today be a new begining, a fresh start. Start right now by confessing your sins to God and ask Jesus to cleanse you and fill you with living water.

The Holy Spirit specializes in giving new life and resurrecting dead areas. All who have believed in Christ and trusted in Him for salvation have received His Spirit to dwell within them. A New life begins immediately for all who choose to accept His offer of the forgiveness of their sins. According to the word of God There is no more condemnation, and they are set free to begin living a new life for Christ.

How easy life would be if that were the only fresh start we’d ever need. But our old sinful tendencies—which the Bible calls “the flesh”—are not removed at salvation. Throughout life, there will be times when we will need to go back and make things right so dont feel like you are not saved if you "Mess up". Be quick to cofess the sin and ask God to forgive you and strengthen you to overcome the sin the next time you are tempted by it.

The Spirit is ever present, empowering us to say no to sin and yes to the will of God. You will find his will on any issue in the Word of God, incase your wondering what exzactly is his will? Stop and consider the strength of the One who lives within you. He has all the power of almighty God, who raised Jesus from the dead (Rom. 8:11). Is your situation more difficult than a resurrection? He created the very world in which we live, along with the universe. Is your situation more difficult than creation?

By setting your mind on the things of the Spirit and living under His authority, you can put to death the sinful actions and habits that have made a mess of your life. The Lord wants to set you free from addicting pleasures and drives that lead only to pain and heartache. Begin today by letting the Holy Spirit lead you into new life. Invite the Holy Spirit to lead you and guide you into all truth.

I ask the Holy Spirit each day to lead me and guide me and to show me if I need to forgive someone or a situation to bring it to my rememberance. Then if I think of a situation or person, I confess my forgiveness and ask God to bring healing and restoration. I dont always feel it right away, sometimes I dont always want to forgive, but I make a choice to do so. If I fail to forgive here on Earth, God will not forgive me of my sins either. I dont know about you but I dont want to miss out on Heaven just because of a stubborn will, and I have need of his forgiveness each and every day.
