The key to moving forward is a spiritual path. Why? Because of 2 Corinthians 5 verse 7 “For we walk by faith [we regulate our lives and conduct ourselves by our conviction or belief respecting man’s relationship to God and divine things, with trust and holy fervor; thus we walk] not by sight or appearance.”
Place your burdens upon the LORD for He cares for you and loves you! Trust in Him, because He is trustworthy and has never failed you. Those times you blamed Him. It’s ok. It wasn’t His fault, and He still loves you the same way before you blamed Him. He understands you. But He has been calling your name to draw closer to Him. Strive no more. Rest and ponder about Jesus. Rest and contemplate on His Word, which is His heart.
Few enter the narrow gate that leads to life, but many enter through the wider gate and the broader and spacious way that leads to destruction (see Matthew 7:13-14).
The importance of setting our minds and keeping them set on what is above, and not on the earth. How it is critical for believers to kill (deaden, deprive of power) the evil desires that lurk in our members.
In part 2, we explore the topic of having a Sin Consciousness versus a Righteousness Consciousness, and how this can negatively impact your walk with the Lord.

One of the key verses for the believer, now a new creation in Christ, is found in 2 Corinthians 5:17 – Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
How do we keep the old that has passed away from becoming resurrected?
As we are to be the city of light on top of the hill (Matthew 5:14), God waits for us to speak to others about Him, so that He can make His Appeal Through Us to His lost and precious Creation.

This week we teach on our responsibility as God’s kids to be Christ’s ambassadors. As 2 Corinthians 5:20 states: So we are Christ’s ambassadors, God making His appeal as it were through us. We [as Christ’s personal representatives] beg you for His sake to lay hold of the divine favor [now offered you] and be reconciled to God.
