The devil is always aiming at knocking us off our eternally fulfilled – righteous position we have in Christ by making us feel disqualified.
2 Cor 3:5-6 Not that we are fit (qualified and sufficient in ability) of ourselves to form personal judgments or to claim or count anything as coming from us, but our power and ability and sufficiency are from God. [It is He] Who has qualified us [making us to be fit and worthy and sufficient] as ministers and dispensers of a new covenant [of salvation through Christ], not [ministers] of the letter (of legally written code) but of the Spirit; for the code [of the Law] kills, but the [Holy] Spirit makes alive (AMPC)
Being qualified is a finished work of God upon our salvation. Our thoughts, shortcomings and even sin cannot “disqualify” us from being sons of God and from dispensing His truth.
Whenever we fall short, we have a constant open door to come before God and repent.
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9
God doesn’t forgive us to re-qualify us to be in His presence; He forgives us to clear our conscience so that we can return to Him. Remember – He has and never will leave us or forsake us!
Please see the men’s breakfast video and Ps. Al’s teaching attached below and let’s stand as qualified men of God!
