Conviction whispers; condemnation screams ~KE

Monday Message

​Did you know that conviction whispers and condemnation screams?

Thanks for joining us for Monday’s Message with Abigail Rice and Trench Classes
United. In today’s poetic message, you can literally feel the emotions of conviction
tugging on condemnation. Often, we are our own worst enemy and when we do
something we know we shouldn’t or are not where we know we need to be, how do we
handle it? Be sure and read the portion of Scripture she includes in her message.

A blanket of thick fog
Sits upon the grass
Waiting to leave its morning dew
For nature to start its day
Afresh and anew

and as I walk through
My hands disappear
My feet hindered from view

yet, here I am again, Lord
Looking for You

But the fog full of sin
Is too heavy
Too thick

How can I make it dissipate?
When it all just feels too little too late

You gave me a blank slate
and with red paint
I splattered it with my sinful human ways

My body weak
My mind tired
No discipline
No desire
How do I transpire?
Lord, won’t you take me higher?

But I’m stuck
Here in this flesh
This fog causing an even bigger mess
Lord, show me the way
Show me how to break through and truly press

Press me into new wine
Remove the wood from my eyes

I need a revelation
A renewal of my mind

​But more than anything Lord,
I need your strength
For all of time

“Seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to
life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His
own glory and excellence. For by these He has granted to us His precious
and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of
the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by
lust. Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith
supply moral excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge, and in
your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, perseverance, and in
your perseverance, godliness, and in your godliness, brotherly kindness,
and in your brotherly kindness, love. For if these qualities are yours and
are increasing, they render you neither useless nor unfruitful in the true
knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these qualities is
blind or short-sighted, having forgotten his purification from his former
sins. Therefore, brethren, be all the more diligent to make certain about
His calling and choosing you; for as long as you practice these things, you
will never stumble; for in this way the entrance into the eternal kingdom of
our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be abundantly supplied to you.” - 2
Peter 1:3-11
