Bored of sin?

[guest6088]

I came to a point in life where sin started to bore me.

Can anyone relate to this?

Sins I used to relish just didn't satisfy me anymore. 

I actually thought I was 'sick' for a while...
..."Why have I no interest in that (sin) anymore which i've done for years"? 
"Why would I rather play my guitar or read a book about kindness or something than engage in (that sin) now?"

I thought it might be a phase but no...I'm pretty much all sinned out for the time being and have been for many months.

I'd love to say I was such a great Saint that I fought sin away and came to God all of my own work whilst sin was at its strongest in my life but the sad truth is I just got bored of sin and lost the desire to engage in it (as much).

I'm not saying I'm 'sinless' by any means I hope you understand but ... Maybe it's an age thing? - We just get bored?

Can anyone relate to this?

My joy now seems to be in doing what I'd call more 'worthwhile' ventures.

  Well I tried  everything in the  world to fill the void and empty  place  in my heart and nothing worked for long , it does leave you wanting .
I really questioned ,What is not of faith is sin , So  out of curiosity  , I had to dig deeper into the  meaning of what that meant .

  Romans 14  , Helped me to see it was  a narrow path  , Just the Lord leading and  I needed to follow the lead .

I was not going to please everyone  , so why bother , Being  that darned if you  do and darned if you don't  , you cannot make folks happy  all the time by people pleasing , man pleasing  does not work at all. too fickle   always changing frequently, especially as regards one's loyalties, interests, or affection.

  Guilt would eat me alive ...  so   to keep the Law of Love , it was to ask God  what He thinks is best  in these things , like prayer or conversation  of sorts .


...22Keep your belief about such matters between yourself and God.


Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.

23But the one who has doubts is condemned if he eats,

because his eating is not from faith; and everything that is not from faith is sin.

  When we eat  of the Lord and taste His goodness we get hooked  because it does satisfy  a need to be loved and wanted  and a purpose    and  who would not want that   for everyone ?  not just ourselves  right ?

We are all consumers   to our wants and  needs met ,  our bellies  to be full  of Life  and not so much death  any longer  .

We are what we eat  eh ?     Serving and to  be served    by the greatest giver of all things GODS LOVE  and understanding .

Sin is missing the mark of the higher calling to me,   it is being worldly  , carnal as babies  still earthly sensual and   devilish in deeds  of its father . no   holy spiritual  growth , stunted ,  as having been prevented from growing or developing properly.

  Held captive  , like the parable of the 3   types   of earth   when the seed/Word of God  is planted in . 

  and now its time to be    filled with the things of God  , He is preparing a  people for a great movement , unprecedented  as never been seen in the earth !!!!!!!   

   we wait on the Lord    to complete  His wondrous works  in righteousness.........

  Philippians  3 Straining Toward the Goal/mark of the higher calling of spiritual   growth   in maturity 


12 Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.


13 Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own.

  me either  , but  keep pressing on  into Life   and leaving death behind  me  ,   asking to the Holy help   to arrive !!

But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal/ mark  for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

[  to me it is    the Christ ,Holy Spirit  anointing  the works  of GOD ,    to  rise  up   from within  us  , to stand in truth  as a soldier [full armour  of God  Ephesians  6:10-20.  prepared for  a great battle   we are to face  armageddon ]  A name occurring only once in the Bible and designating the place where the last great battle of the ages will take place ( Rev 16:16 ). It will coincide with the second coming of Christ ( Rev 16:15 ) and there all of the hosts of evil will be defeated ( Rev 19:11-21 ).

Armageddon is a Hebrew word, although it does not occur in the Old Testament. Its meaning is not exactly clear, but it is best taken to mean Mount Megiddo, since "Har" in Hebrew means mountain and "Mageddon" is the place-name of Megiddo.

In Old Testament history Megiddo was a place of numerous decisive battles because of the broad plain that stood before it.


15 Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you. 16 Only let us hold true to what we have attained.

17 Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us.

18 For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ.

19 Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things.


20 But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,


21 who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.

  Where no place   for evil  will be  found  ever again .......  :HeartThrob:
