I will receive you

Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
2 Corinthians 6:17

    Sometimes its easy to forget that you're not of the world. It's easy to want everything the world has to offer because it looks so good. You feel as though you need it but then you try it and you realize that it's poisonous venom. Now,  you're covered in shame and guilt because of what you allowed yourself to get into and you're too ashamed to tell anyone or do anything about it.

    God is saying that you don't have to stay in that lifestyle anymore. You're a child of God and yes, children of God do make mistakes. Your mistakes does not mean that you're life is over or that you're going to perish. It means that you're vulnerable and weak but God is strong.
 
  Pride can be a killer. You wear a facade, a mask, each day and you hide your pain and your guilt. But God is saying surrender. He says, Let it go, and let Me handle it. You cannot do it alone.

   The scripture says, "Come out from among them..." God says when you come out from among them, He will receive you. He won't pull you out of your sin, He's waiting for you to give the sinful lifestyle to Him. You may think, there's no way this is going to leave but He is able. God says come out from among them and I will receive you. You can't continue to live in the lifestyle that you're living in and expect that God is going to change you. You have to give it up, let it go, repent and surrender.

    Like the father of the prodigal son, God is calling you to return. You tried the lifestyle and it seemed good at first but then you found yourself eating pig feed.  You want to come home so don't let your pride and shame get in your way. That's just the adversary's way of keeping God's people bound. Don't be ashamed to talk to God about your struggles and your pain, He hears and He is a deliverer. You don't have to live in sin anymore.

   God says, come out from among them and I will receive you. I will receive you but you have to come out of it.
