Come as You Are: Easy but Hard...

The first step will not be easy but take heart Jesus has overcome the world. I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.] John 16:33. So in faith Take the first step today.

The first step of stepping to come as you are may be easy to do in practice or in theory but in life, it may not be so easy. The first step may be hard to come as you are. Not just because you are in your stuff and such but evil and the devil doesn’t want you to come as you are to Jesus.

First, let’s talk about being your stuff. Have you ever had to empty a bottle to stop drinking and go sober? Thank God I never have but know people who have stopped drinking. It is not an easy task when what is in that bottle is so good. Another example is I go to places I shouldn’t, it’s normal for me to be there and it’s hard to break a routine (not speaking about my life). I get it the things we do are hard to break but once you do it is life-changing. Remember if God can overcome the world like the first verse I used then God, then you can overcome you sin and stuff.

The second thing keeping you from the first step is evil and the devil because they do not want you to come to Jesus. he may keep you deeper in your sin or stuff by saying you are not good enough to come to Jesus. he may keep you there by tempting you more to deeper in your stuff or sin. It does not matter what it is that the devil will try to do Jesus is greater than all that, he greater than sin, greater than stuff, greater than weakness, and greater than anything you can think of. Submit therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7. If we just submit to God as he is greater evil will flee but just taking the first step, in the verse it says resist, and by taking the first step you are resisting evil and the devil.

So, the first step may not be so easy but worth it once you come as you are…

Today I proclaim hands off the devil and evil on people who want to take the first step

I proclaim people will pour out the bottle

I proclaim people will stop looking on the internet at things they shouldn’t

I proclaim people will stop doing drugs

I proclaim people will stop prostituting

I proclaim people will stop going to strip clubs and they all have to close

I proclaim that the evil of this world will back down to where he/it belongs and that is the pit of hell

By the writing of this that the devil/evil would flee from everyone who wants to break free from bondage and come to Jesus just as they are

May the devil flee in Jesus’s name I proclaim this for everyone who wants to come as they are

I proclaim that the first step be guided and curated by Jesus

I proclaim that the road may not be easy, but that Jesus will be with you

May Jesus today guide you and protect you from evil/the devil so, that you can come as you are

I pray for all these things in the powerful Name of Jesus

Amen

 

So, no matter what it is that keeps you from coming to Jesus as you are Just remember, I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.] John 16:33.
