James 4:8, “Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double minded.

     If we are going to truly come close to the Lord, draw near to Him, there is something that we need to do.  Most people never draw near to Him because of this reason.  We need to deal with the sin in our lives.  That’s right!  We need to deal with the things that are rooted deep in us.  It’s true that all you have to do is confess your sin to be forgiven and cleansed of all unrighteousness.  This is not a matter of being saved by grace, this is a matter of drawing into His presence.  This is going into the throne room and walking and talking with Him just like He was right next to you.  This is a matter of doing our best to purify our lives.  We can walk in a place that God is your best friend, like Enoch.  This is a special place with God that not to many people attain to while on this earth.  It’s a deeper place.  But it can only come when we get serious enough to deal with the sin in our lives.  So today, we need to identify the sin in our lives and then “Deal with it.”  If we are to enter in we must do this.  It’s the only way.  Are you ready to start?                 God Bless, Rusty
