One of my biggest struggles has been the continuation of willful sin, as you can see in the previous post the beast are allow to live though stripped of their authority, (to milk them of all they stole,) so we best understand that sin keeps going even when we have Christ on board.
It took me years to understand how to manage my spiritual life, and the 10 kings of Revelation certainly rule their hour many a time, without me have any idea whatsoever what was going on, apart that my light of day had been robbed and I was suffering badly on the wrong side of the truth at the end of it.
It wasn't until I began to understand about my inner divisions that things became clearer to me.
Has it ever struck you as strange how one moment we praise God while seconds later we curse our neighbour in our heart, or walk all over God in other ways and so breaking the bond of loving truth between us?
For example; sometimes it would take me months to get back into some kind of faithful contact with God again after I had been through one of my manic cycles. Where I had squandered all my inner good life feasting with the wicked even drinking out of the cups of God's Temple with my captivators. Praising the Babylonian god, that horrific red dragon - the accuser in my guilty conscience - and not holy, holy, holy God, and so a living abomination to be causing my own desolation wiping out God and everything He stands for serving rules and laws and not His loving truth in Spirit?
So what to do when we 'wake up' to the fact that we are in captivity and exiled from the promised land and cut off from Zion? (Zion = our good life ruling in and with our Loving Creator as Father, completely at peace and in His Rest to be. (Hebrews 4, Revelation 20)
We have to cover ourselves with the blood of Christ, this is what we have to do. How do we best go about doing that?
Let me try and put it in sequence of events.
We wake up to the fact that we are captive and that our life is not producing good life but a lot of bad life.
1) Look at Jesus on the Cross
It is very important that we keep looking at Jesus until His blood begins to cover us. For we can be guilty of just looking at Jesus because we feel bad inside and want to feel good again, and not be interested in His blood whatsoever but only in our good life so we can squander it again.
However it is the blood we want for then the pain will show us where to go from here!
The blood must cover our guilt and our shame, and/or melt our loveless uncaring hearts, either one will do but usually it is both that needs to happen.
However if we eagerly drink His blood because all we want is be clean, and we are still not mourning our Lord hanging on the cross spilling His blood all over us, then things are still very wrong and our bondaged torment will only increase and not lessen.
Why you may think? Because this is the truth, the pain we feel is the truth of our misdeeds because we haven't heeded Him but rather crucified Him or are still crucifying Him. Yet all we care about is our own torment and we don't give an it about the sufferings of our Lord. I know I have been guilty of going through repentance like that.
Another real trap at this stage of our cleansing process is eating guilt, shame or fear, because we see (and care,) that we have grieved our Lord. See this is where the cleansing process is really important to understand, so you know how to stay in God's truth and not repent to the dragon in the end and end up making all kind of deals to settle your sins and so pay the price and posses your land. if you do that then you will only feel 'good' when you follow what your conscience demands you do, think and say and you will not be heeding the living word within, nor walk in love, but rather in fear, dread and conformity and not be free at all.
So this what you do!
Each time the accuser hands you your guilt - blasts his fire!!! You humbly tell the Lord you sorry you made your inner truth like as it is, for you realise that it are your own sins who made your conscience so powerful and unholy and bad like that. So you sacrifice all the 'bulls', 'lambs', 'goats', and or first fruits to Jesus, as satan spits your sins or short-comings at you. Never carry any demand from the accuser apart of to Jesus, refuse to carry the load of sin but accept the blame.
This doesn't mean you promise Jesus you will do this or that, I advise you to be very careful doing that, and only ever because you love to do God's will not because of any kind of demand.
So sacrificing bulls and goats and so on, are the morals, laws, traditions and values you transgressed, it are those you sacrifice to Jesus - spotless and blameless, the best choices of your flock. That is how it goes, and you hand the one in you who transgressed those laws and rules God's grace and forgiveness and you don't put that into jail or worse kill such self within, no matter how sinful you might have been.
2) Eat grace!
That is how you cover yourself with Christ's blood. Let Jesus sanctify each sin you might be guilty of in the above manner, and at the end of the process, which can anything from seconds to 3 1/2 years, you will be completely covered by His blood. You will mourn the One you have pierced, and and see Him with your own eyes. This is how the blood of Christ cleanses you from all your bad life and restores you back to yourself in good nick - time and again.
3) don't defile God's grace with judgment
Fill your heart up with His love, thankfulness, contentment, satisfaction, joy and peace. It is so important that we follow this last step for otherwise wrong will come back sevenfold and fill our empty rooms with much worse sin than we began off with.
If you are not thankful but still feel guilty, shameful or fearful then you have not completed the process yet and ought to keep on going until you enter His Rest completely free from from sin or stain.
You can do this process 7x70=490 x times a day for each individual sin according to Jesus so be of good courage.
For this is what is so important to understand if sin keeps on going then, don't give up, or give satan back what you won already, rather just add that sin (part of you,) to the list of ones to be sanctified by Christ in the above process and simply keep going.
However if at another time in your daily life you walk around not caring about Jesus and more and wanting to do more sin, then please know that if you do you will certainly not escape your punishment but will be washed off along the way and get rewarded the consequences of your deed(s), while your son or daughter who repents of your callous deed will inherit eternal life instead of you - for those who sin shall die - this truth will remain true no matter how much we are saved, sin itself is not saved, so our sinful heart at the time of our sinful deed must die in us to be saved, where we willingly in our sinful self lay down our lives because we love Jesus more than we love ourselves in sin, please let us be well aware of that.
Any parts of ourselves who don't want to be part of Christ sanctification process and continue in sin ban from your inner body of believers, but make sure that you still treat yourself fairly and respectably towards such self in yourself. Please don't imprison or enslave such selves in you, or worse hand them over to satan, unless our sin is evil, (inflict any kind of bad life on our own or other peoples life.)
So always be loving, gracious, forgiving and merciful. For our God doesn't require our sacrifices but He does require that we would be merciful like He is, for otherwise how can we hear Him speak?
If we put all kind of religious restrictions or laws upon ourselves then we burden ourselves down and will never get through the Narrow Gate our Lord is.
The truth is that in flesh we will sin, so let this command be before your eyes at all times - don't mix right with wrong, don't eat the fruit of right and wrong. You can eat wrong and just leave it at that, and Jesus will cut the wrong out and set you free again or you can mix the wrong with right within you and make a real mess of it inside. For such brings bad life into our being.
Sin is not doing things wrong as much as not loving true when we do things! Always keep an eye on that.
Ultimately It is unfaithful love that we want to get rid of, she is the great prostitute riding the dragon. (Zachariah 5.)
After she has been disposed of - just feed her (your unfaithful love within,) to the dragon when he blasts you with his fire on the days the trumpets blow in your life - time and again - until willful sin stops then you know she is dead and your hallelujah song will take of in earnest. (Revelation 18-19.)
Be of good courage Jesus has overcome all sin! Yours as well. Simply believe nothing else but His loving truth. 1 John 2:2
