“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.”
Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.”
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?”
And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”
Isaiah 6:5-8
Sin is not acceptable to the Lord. The acceptance of Jesus Christ is the admission of your wrong ways of life and your acceptance of a new life given by the spirit through the acceptance of Christ. To be baptized in Christ and call yourself a sinner is disobedient.
The Lord demands your efforts to be focused on his will - not your past sinning ways.
The human mind becomes astutely aware of a particular area of sin when you bring your thoughts up to the Lord of Heaven. It is in this personal awareness of sin in a specific area that often prevents a person from speaking to God within the Spirit and improperly focus on the sinful life as a statement of fact. The sinful life is NOT a fact. This is false teaching.
With Jesus - you are specifically able and expected to not sin. It is the power of Jesus that sets you free from sin - not a mental decision based on a set of human principals. It is the Holy Spirit that is born in you during baptism and the acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord that provides this power. The choice to be obediently faithful to Jesus and access this power is yours. Be certain to know that this is a decision for your eternal resting place. For I assure you, the flesh will pass away but the spirit inside of you will live forever and there is but one way to the kingdom of heaven and that is through the acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord.
At once the Lord makes you aware of a particular area of sin, seek the Lord's grace and remove the thing that is being brought to your mind that causes a hindrance in your spirit. This act of faith from you to the Lord will be rewarded and you will be made clean before the Lord.
