Would you turn please to the book of Hebrews, Hebrews chapter 4, we've been talking about, the title of the teaching is the truth about temptation and what is the good news about the truth?

It will make you free.

And I know, oh, months and months ago, Phyllis and I were out of town for a little bit,

and I think I shared with you in the middle of the night one night, the Lord began to talk to me about this.

I don't mean to hurt an audible voice, but in my spirit.

And among other things, he caused me to understand, mean to hurt an audible voice, but in my spirit. And among other things,

he caused me to understand, revealed to me, he said, so many of my people are not even

acknowledging that they are tempted. They think it says something negative about them to be ashamed of, makes them a bad person to acknowledge

that they are tempted in an area because they're not acknowledging it, they're not dealing

with it.

I understand you're not dealing with what you're not even acknowledging is going on.

And it's one of the reasons why so many people are falling in sin so frequently.

And you know, we don't like to talk about it as Christian people, as church people.

People like to, you know, dress up and clean up and come in church and sing holy and act holy and everything's wonderful.

But the truth is, people are failing.

Right and left and they're condemned and they're miserable and they feel so bad about it and they

cry and then they'll go do it again next week and that's bondage somebody say bondage has jesus

already done enough to set us free from that is there enough power in what he has done in redemption?

That we could live free.

We could live free from sin.

We could live without falling.

Well, it's true.
