BEYOND THESE BOUNDS - sin

Sin can rule over people and have power it does not deserve. It can lead people into dark places they never wished to be in. It can convince people that there is no light and there is no love. Sin can wrap itself around a person’s heart so tight that it steals every ounce of joy they could have in them. Sin can take you so far that it will convince you and the people around you that it is impossible for you to come back. This is what sin did to my brother. Sin, however, is subject to the power of God and His ability to rip the impossible to shreds! When it seemed most impossible for my brother to come to God after years of sin, he came running to the altar of the Lord. He jumped into the river of life. He took a big gulp of the Holy Spirit. He surrounded himself with the goodness of God, and threw his heart back to the One who made sin look like a punk under His power. He has been washed in the blood and stands sinless and spotless before our God. Favor has attacked him, pinned him down, and left him speechless. His past is gone. His present is secure! His future is way BEYOND THESE BOUNDS! This is impossible! Naw, not really…at all.

Never give up. Never lose hope. God is faithful. My brother is now enrolled in Bible school and about to tear this world up for Jesus Christ. I LOVE MY BRO! 

Matthew 19:26 (NKJV) But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
