RIGHTEOUSNESS PREVAILS
by
Kent Clifford Cooley

(1 Corinthians 13:6; 1 John 1:9; Romans 6:15; 1 Peter 5:5; 2 Timothy 2:19)

Do you remember when you first gave your heart to Jesus, How the sin was gone and you were so clean before the Lord. That is what we experienced at our new birth and that is how God wants us to live. He wants us to be empowered by His presence and the renewing of our minds in His word to live a holy life before Him. He wants us to be overcomers and for righteousness to prevail in our lives.

These are the scriptural steps for us to take so that righteousness will prevail.

1. Humbling our selves – Pride causes us to get into denial and to make excuses for our sin but humility gets us out of denial so that repentance is possible

2. Confessing our Sins results in God’s faithfulness to forgive and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

3. Forsaking our sins – Shall we sin that grace may abound, God forbid. We must have a clean break from sin and we must take a total stand against sin

The foundation of God stands sure having this seal;

The Lord knows those who are His

and let him who names the name of God depart from iniquity

There is a sweeping revival of the Love of God taking place over all the earth today. However the world has a counterfeit of a love movement on the earth and it is all about tolerance and compromise. We must not mistake the Agape love of God to be a compromising kind of love concerning sin. The love Chapter (1 Corinthians 13) does not leave out the sin factor but it says that . . .

Love does not rejoice in unrighteousness

but rejoices when righteousness prevails

Father, I will not be in denial any more. I humble myself before you now. I confess my sins. I thank you that your word declares that You are faithful and just to forgive me and cleanse me from all unrighteousness. I am now empowered by Your divine ability to live a holy life before You and to be pleasing in your sight.
