Revelation 3:19 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent.Prayer Direction
Ask the Holy Spirit of God to show you where you have hidden sin and practices that do not honor Jesus. Pray for power to turn from these, confess them to Jesus, and live in new ways. Thank Jesus for His death and resurrection and the hope he gives for you to walk away from sinful patterns and behaviors.“Live It!” Challenge
A Little Help from a Friend – Any time we seek to walk away from sinful patterns in our past, there will be a spiritual battle. We can’t fight these alone. Ask at least one trusted friend to pray for you as you seek to live in new and godly ways and invite them to keep you accountable in this specific area of your spiritual growth.Small Group Discussion
