*HOW DID I GET HERE
*HOW DO I GET OUT?
1. Make the MOVE.
√ The word is: REPENT.
(2 Corinthians 6:17-18 NIV) Therefore, “Come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.” And, “I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”
2. Let it GO.
√ The word is: SURRENDER.
(Mark 8:34-35 Message) Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You’re not in the driver’s seat; I am. Follow me and I’ll show you how. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to saving yourself.
3. Commit YOUR LIFE.
(Romans 6:19 NIV) …. Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness leading to holiness.
√ The KEY word is: RELATIONSHIP.
(James 4:8 NLT) Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.
