In 2016, I began writing a series of ministry books on various
subjects, which we published on Amazon, in both E-book and paperback. For the next few weeks, we will show an example of the contents in each of these 18 books. You
might find these books helpful in reminding you of godly concepts used
in following God. The E-books are priced at 99-cents each in USA.
Paperback books vary in prices according to the number of pages. Free
E-books are offered daily on selected books through Amazon. At the end
of this writing, you will find a link which takes you directly to Amazon
if you choose to order this book.

Chapter 1* I John 1:7 The blood of Jesus Christ His Son
cleanseth us from all sin.
* Revelation 1:5 Unto Him that loved us, and
washed us from our sins in His own blood,
* Ephesians 1:6 HE hath made us accepted in the beloved.
* Philippians 4:19 My God shall supply all your need
according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus (The Word).
* I Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon Him; for HE
careth for you.
* Hebrews 13:5 God says: I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
For many negative thoughts come telling us exactly opposite from these truths. So focusing on these scriptures will help you immediately to stabilize you in God's truth concerning you.

The scriptures are foundations for building a life of peace on this present earth
and escaping from destructive thoughts.
When
we make each of these scriptures a way of life in our thinking, doing them
daily as we go about life, we will eliminate many destructive thoughts that
come to our minds to torment us.
A
great many of the destructive thoughts we have deal with past sins. And we are so sorry we did that. The thought is too painful to bear and we
frequently try to quickly run away when that thought of what we said or what we
did, or what we failed to do, comes to mind.
The
solution is:
* I John 1:7 The blood of Jesus Christ His Son
cleanseth us from all sin.
When
we enter into this understanding and accept the fact that none of us are worthy but Jesus paid for our sins with His own blood.
Therefore
HE, Jesus, washed away our sins and made us spotless and through HIM we come to
God by HIS Word.
After
we are born again, we wouldn't do those sins we once did. We are sorry aren't we?
We
can't undo the past but we can overcome by accepting that Jesus paid for each
sin we committed with His own blood. HIS
blood paid for "all"
sin. No sin is stronger than
the blood of Jesus.

There
is a woman in our little church group who had an abortion before she was born
again. She said even enroute to have the
abortion she was hoping her husband would change his mind and want to keep the
child.
She
has been able to accept the blood of Jesus concerning her other past sins of
drunkenness, adultery, fornication … but she told me the subject of abortion
troubled her.
This
showed she had never entered into the healing of the blood of Jesus on that sin
I
pointed out to her that the apostle Paul caused the followers of Jesus to be
killed prior to the time Jesus revealed HIMSELF to Paul on the road to
Damascus. Yet there is no indication
Paul thought on those murders.
In
fact Paul said:
Philippians 3:13-15 Brethren, I count not myself to have
apprehended: but
this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching
forth unto those things which are before,
I
press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be
thus minded.
Paul
understood the only thing that can wipe out our past sins is the blood of Jesus and faith in the blood of
Jesus as spoken by the scriptures.
Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have
peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
8-9 But God commendeth His love toward us, in
that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
***
As long as we
try to make ourselves worthy, we will wallow in our sins.
When we accept
the worthiness of Jesus to pay for what we did, we free ourselves by faith in
HIS blood.
So until you
enter into this, keep these scriptures before you day and night so you can come
to believe what we read in the Bible.
* I John 1:7 The blood of Jesus Christ His Son
cleanseth us from all sin.
* Revelation 1:5 Unto Him that loved us, and
washed us from our sins in His own blood,
When you
believe these truths, your past sins will no longer be trouble and pain to you
and most likely you will not often have them brought to your mind!
And if past
sins do come to mind, just look again at these scriptures.
