Pleasing God


To love God and to please Him is worth everything, everything.  Your sexual immortality must go, your evil desires and greed must go, your anger must go, your malice must go, your slander must go.  All of them must go - forever!  Be ruthless.  Whatever the sins are that right now make you feel guilty and uneasy - hate them!  Get them once and for all out of your life
Anne Ortlund

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me
Galatians 2:20

For he that is dead is freed from sin. 
Romans 6:7

I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me
Philippians 4:13

Believe God's Word.  You CAN do it!  His Spirit works powerfully in you.  He wants those around you to see Him in you.  He commands for us to walk blamelessly.  He never commands something that He doesn't give us the power to accomplish.  Go now... Be lights to a dark world!  Flee the darkness and live in the Light!

I am a new creation in Christ. I did not accept him and begin to yeild until I was 25 years old. It is possible at any age to be a new creation and take it from first hand experience....God can do ANYTHING!
very encouraging words, thank you!
I love the scriptures you have chosen. Thank you for the reminder to stand on his promises, and to always be open to the changes he has in store for us. I also love your Debi Pearl quote. Thank you for this encouragement today.
Amen!
I enjoy Anne Ortland's writings and this quote is particularly good!
When we are set free from the bondage of besetting sins we experience the joy of sweet fellowship with our loving God!

Having God's will and walking blamelessly in Him requires participation on our part. It's my goal!
A lovely reminder for a Monday morning :). Thank you!
It's true! Jesus says, "No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God." (Luke 9:62). It's time we give it all up for Christ.
Thank you for this true encouragement.

Hi, it made me laugh when I posted my link on the Goodmorninggirls site and then saw that you had exactly the same title as me! I'm glad someone else is writing about pleasing God :) And I love the Galatians 2:20 verse :)
Such great words of encouragement!! We really must let all our evil ways go...I know it's usually easier said than done but for a loving Father who gave so much for us, how could we not try???
