6If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 7But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship
with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
1 John 1:6-7 NKJV
Tony Evans writes: 'Fellowship with God is determined by our walk, not by our talk. Only
as we live fully exposed to the truth of God is the ongoing cleansing work of the blood
of Jesus activated to reveal, cleanse and empower us to address the sin that has been exposed. Then fellowship with God is maintained and expanded. Failure to do this keeps God's work dormant in the life of the believer. (See 2 Corinthians 3:17-18'
The Tony Evans Study Bible CSB version
We can go around professing to being a follower of Jesus, preaching, teaching and doing all of the wonderful things that we believe God wants us to do but, but if our talk does not live up to our walk with Jesus, then we are in darkness and nothing will ever last what we say and do.
There are so many scams around today and people are wary of most things they are
confronted with. If they witness a Christian who professes to walk in the light but is firmly stuck in the dark, it will take a lot for them to trust people again, who mention things about the bible and Jesus.
Today, God gave me an Acronym for the word SCAM
S Sin
C Continues to SIN CONTINUES TO ALIENATE MANY
A Alienate
M Many
It is only a simple acronym that can help us remember any form of Scams that we come
across. Identify scams that are from within yourself and adjust these. Sometimes we can tend
to talk too much and not concentrate on what is happening around us. Satan is only too pleased to expose us; don't forget that he is the accuser of the brethren. He watches your every move and if he can twist what you say or do, he is pleased to help. Be alert.
It is so easy for us to make mistakes or to let ourselves down in any particular way. So be accountable, if you know what you've said is wrong or what you have done is not what Jesus would have wanted, then stop and make amends with whoever you are with. Ask them to forgive you. Remember, we are still undergoing training from Jesus, and we will be until the trumpet blows.

If you don't know Jesus or, have fallen away, why not say this prayer right now:
Lord Jesus, I have sinned. I ask you to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Spirit and give me a brand new start today.
In Jesus' Name. Amen'
