DEALING WITH CONFIDENCE STEALERS OR ERODERS - Rev IK Utah (JULY 19, 2023)

<p>How do we sustain our confidence in Christ in an ungodly world?</p> <p>Dispassionately and prayerfully conduct a self-audit to discern your true spiritual state. (Psalm 139:23-24; 19:12-14)</p> <p>• Confess and forsake immediately any sin for which you have been convicted by the Holy Spirit. (Proverbs 28:13; 1 John 1:8-10)</p> <p>• Boldly draw near with a full assurance of faith. (Hebrews 10:19-22, 4:16)</p> <p>• Hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering, even when we do not fully understand what is happening, trusting that God is working His purposes in our life. (Hebrews 10:23, 35-39; Job 19:25-27; Romans 8:37-39)</p> <p>• Provoke one another to love and good works. (Hebrews 10:24-25) Do not allow the devil to isolate you.</p>
