7 Steps To Victory Over Sin
"But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof." (Romans 13:14) "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." (Hebrews 11:6)
"And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin." (Romans 14:23).
Friends, please remember that the Loud Cry, the Fourth Angel's message, is the amplification of the Third Angel's message of Righteousness by faith (Revelation 14:6-13, 18:1-4, Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers pages 91-92, Great Controversy chapters 38 and 39).
The 7 Steps to Character Purity and Victory over sin is the application of the Third Angel's Message and Loud Cry to the remnant's CHARACTER EXPERIENCE AND DEVELOPMENT (Revelation 14:1-5). The righteous harvest's CHARACTER RIPENESS is essential for Christ's consequential reaping (Revelation 14:14-16).
STEP #1. Abiding in Christ (John 15:1-7). Becoming best friends with Christ is the first step, telling Him everything about your life, confiding in Him fully, holding NOTHING back, having Him formed in you. (Galatians 4:19) Additionally, we must accept His perfect Righteous Robe, clothing ourselves with it as a Shield against ungodliness (Philippians 3:9).
STEP #2. Praying for God the Father, the Pruner, to remove Character defects in your Character Experience, replacing them with the FRUITS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT (John 15:1, Galatians 5:22-23).
STEP #3. Studying daily and advancing with the new light you receive, focusing on Reproducing the Character of Christ (Proverbs 4:18, 2Timothy 2:15, Revelation 14:1-5). My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. (Hosea 4:6). It is essential to have morning daily devotional time with the Lord. We should not permit anything to interfere with our relationship with God. If we neglect to spend time with God, we will suffer the consequences of such actions: we must refrain from making excuses. Jesus Christ made time for God the Father, spending morning hours in prayer with Him (Isaiah 50:4, Mark 1:35). If we surrender to the Spirit, He will wake us up morning by morning, empowering us to pray (The Faith I live By page 333).
STEP #4. Keeping the Ten Commandments, the Character Transcript of God, containing the Sanctified Sabbath, a visible manifestation of the living Sealing Truth (Exodus 20, Ezekiel 20:12). Far more sacredness is attached to the Sabbath than is given it by many professed Sabbath keepers. The Lord as been greatly dishonored by those who have not kept the Sabbath according to the commandment, either in the letter or in the spirit. He calls for a reform in the observance of the Sabbath. (Testimonies for the Church Volume 6 page 353) Making the Life of Christ, your life, following the Lamb whithersoever He goes (Revelation 14:4). The people of God must understand the seriousness of the times. We must evacuate spiritually from Babylon, following God with NO COMPROMISE. Seventh-day Adventists must reform their ways, teaching the world about the need to abstain from worldly, earthly appetites and lusts: unhealthful diets, smoking, drinking alcohol, dangerous meat eating, caffeine consumption, pornography, television addiction, romance novels, diabolical video games, cursing, worldly adornment, attending bars and worldly concerts, just to mention a few (Revelation 18:1-4, Ministry of Healing pages 125-127, Testimonies for the Church volume 3 page 43, Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers page 445, 507).
STEP #5. Preparing for Redemption from Earth or Translation from Earth, receiving new Heavenly bodies. Translation is death and resurrection instantaneously or in the twinkling of an eye. (1 Corinthians 15:51-52, 1Thessalonians 4:16-17, Revelation 14:3)
STEP #6. Refuting FALSE Doctrines, like the Sunday rest, Immortality of the Soul and the Rapture theory, remaining pure (virgin-like), as Christ provided us with the undefiled WORD. False wine is False Doctrine (2Corinthians 11:2, Revelation 14:4, Great Controversy page 588).
STEP #7. Refraining from Deceitful ways and mannerisms, as Guile means Deceit, Gossiping and Back-biting (1Peter 2:22). Asking God to create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me (Psalms 51:10). If we have in any manner defrauded or injured our brother, we should make restitution. If we have unwittingly borne false witness, if we have misstated his words, if we have injured his influence in any way, we should go to the ones with whom we have conversed about him, and take back all our injurious misstatements. (Mount of Blessing page 59)
Congratulations friend, as now you are a new creature in Christ! I can not wait to see you in heaven (2Corinthians 5:17).
Christ loves you and He is coming soon (2Peter 3:12-15).
