True conversion

It's not enough to say a prayer or go to church. I'm noticing that many in this generation have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof. You know what it means to "deny the power thereof"? The AMP version puts it like this, "for their conduct nullifies their claim of faith". This means that these kinds of people claim one thing, but their conduct contradicts the very claim they make! Be careful with such people.

The Bible is very clear,

Anyone who continues to live in Him will not sin. But anyone who keeps on sinning does not know Him or understand who He is." (1 John 3:6)

Let NO ONE deceive you!

"When people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil." (1 John 3:8)

Please, I urge you. Wake up and ask God to show you yourself. It may just be that all this time you have been living in deception and you truly didn't know. I want you to know that there's hope for you. All it takes is a heart of repentance and you can start anew as though nothing ever happened.
