The Holy Spirit gave me an interesting prophetic word from God about Joe Biden and a “criminal history” along with something about to happen. Please take this word to the Lord in prayer before running with it.

Hi Troy. Is it fair for me to think that if I fall into the same pathetic sin everyday that I’m not trying hard enough? I was raised to know better but I still find myself being involved with this activity when I know it is wrong! Thanks.
Hello Mike,
Thank you for your message. I will be sure to send it Troy’s way! I want to encourage you to not give up and become overwhelmed with shame. In my experience, trying my best to just stop doing what is bad and try extra hard to do what is good, doesn’t help very much. Paul says something very similar about our flesh and our spirit struggling in Romans 7. In Romans 8, he goes on to say how our only hope is in Christ, and receiving His Spirit, His holiness, His righteousness. The gospel says that we will never be able to become righteous, never be able to lift the weight of sin off our own shoulders, no matter how hard we try. BUT, with Christ! He takes our sin, our shame, our best efforts and failures, and He gives us His perfect holiness in return. Be encouraged! The Lord is offering you freedom, and an everlasting life of joy as a son of God, given the identity of Christ. The more we step into His Spirit every day, the more sin and shame falls away.
In Christ,
Troy Black Team Member
