Pastor’s Notes: What a great spirit in the Houseof God this past Sunday! No,we were not shouting andrunning the aisles, but the Spirit

of the Lord was in in House. Many times, the people of God are challenged in their walk and in their life. Sunday, the Lord challenged us to be free from sin and to examine our walk. I try and do this DAILY! I want nothing to hinder meor to hinder the work of God.

We compared the disease leprosy (a type in the Bible for sin), caused 4 main things:1) disfigurement ….sin will do the same thing. It will make you look like and becomesomething you were never intended to be. 2) deterioration – leprosy would cause fingers & toes,hands and feet to fall off. Sin will rob you, steal from you, yank from you things so precious inyour life. 3) distance – lepers had to be removed from family and friends and be moved to leper colonies. Sin will cause you to be distant from family and friends and can eventually cause youto live in different places (physically and spiritually). 4) KILL YOU – leprosy was a slow killer.It took 10 to 30 years sometimes before it would take the life of someone. The Bible says thewages of sin is death! Sin wants to utterly destroy you. However the Bible also says that Christcame that we might have LIFE and have it MORE ABUNDTANTLY!!!!!I choose life! I choose freedom from sin. I choose the ways of Christ! It is a consciencedecision and a purposeful walk. If your eyes are clouded……get wash ed in His blood. If your decision making is clouded…..get washed in his blood. “What can wash away my sins; nothing

but the blood of Jesus!”.
