Sins of Omission: What You're Not Doing That's Hurting You

Send us a text

What happens when we know we should do something right, but we don't? That's the question at the heart of this powerful exploration of sins of omission. Having previously examined sins of commission, I now turn to the quieter but equally damaging ways we create distance between ourselves and authentic sonship with our Heavenly Father.

Drawing from James 4:17, I unpack four critical areas where we might be failing to do what's commanded: not helping those in need, failing to forgive, withholding the gospel, and not doing good when we can. But simply listing these sins misses the deeper issue—why do we hold back from doing what's right? The answer often lies in our identity wounds and the orphan spirit that keeps us viewing life through lenses of rejection and pain.

My own journey from wounded teenager to healed woman illustrates this transformation. After becoming pregnant at 14 and enduring mental and physical abuse, I had to make a conscious decision to break free from victimhood. Through years of intentional healing work—sozo sessions, coaching, community, and scripture—I discovered that when we shift from seeing ourselves as rejected orphans to beloved children of God, our ability to love and serve others naturally flows.

This healing journey isn't a quick fix but an adventure of continuous discovery. Each layer of healing affects every area of life—relationships, career, health, and finances all transform when we view them through healed eyes. If you're pursuing this path of sonship, you're already in the top 1% who refuse to quit when growth gets challenging.

Ready to break free from the orphan spirit and step fully into your identity as a daughter of the King? Listen now, and stay tuned for our upcoming episodes on God's outrageous grace and the six inward sins of the heart. Your testimony of overcoming is waiting to transform someone else's life!

So find encouragement in allthese episodes.
We are continuing our series onSonship and what that looks like
to be a daughter of the MostHigh King.

(01:26):
We've been really digging intowhat separates us from that and
we've been digging into the sins, you know, sins of the world
that really, things that we'redoing that we might not think
are a big deal, but things thatwe're doing that we actually
know also that we need to juststop it are a big deal, but
things that we're doing that weactually know also that we need

(01:47):
to just stop it.
You know, last week we talkedabout sins of commission.
This week we're talking aboutsins of omission and what you
don't do when you know you needto do it.
These are sins that areneglecting to do what is right
and commanded of us.
We're jumping right in.
One example is not helpingsomeone in need James 2, 15
through 16 talks about this.

(02:09):
Failing to forgive talks aboutthis in Matthew 6, 15.
And not sharing the gospelEzekiel 33, 6.
And withholding good when youcan do it James 4, 17.
And in James 417, it says sowhoever knows the right thing to
do and fails to do it, for himit is sin.
And so, if you can think aboutthese sins of omission and what

(02:32):
you don't do and neglecting todo what is right and or
commanded, like where can wehelp people?
Not helping someone in needwhen we know we can help?
Maybe there's a judgment cast.
I know that I have personallyhad to overcome judging like
people on the street and or evenlike judging where my tithe

(02:53):
goes in the church.
Can you think anywhere in yourlife like I know I can when
there was a moment where youknew that you could help
somebody but you didn't?
Or have you failed to forgivesomeone that may have offended
you or hurt you?
Or have you found yourself in asituation where you could have
shared the gospel?
And that's your testimony.
Like I talked about in thebeginning of this, it's like

(03:15):
your testimony is so powerful itholds the gospel truth.
Have you not shared it?
Or have you withheld good whenyou could do it?
I know personally, when we don'tknow God as our Father, when we
don't know who we are in Him,our identity, our heart posture,

(03:38):
our ability to receive love,there is a disconnect to doing
what is good.
You know because I alwaysshared this and I could just
attest to how I used to be.
I was hurt.
I have gone through a lot.
I had a really rough upbringing, but I had a mom who really

(03:58):
loved me and did her very bestto protect me, and she did an
amazing job.
Here I am talking to you, butwhen you go through life and you
experience rough times,adversity, like I found myself
judging with a broken heart,judging with a rejected heart,
judging every circumstancethrough the eyes and lens of

(04:20):
wounds, many, many wounds.
People ran over me, peopledisrespected me, I was hurt, I
was abused, all these things andlike, ultimately, I had a
choice right, like I had achoice to.
Am I going to continue downthis road of seeing with these
eyes and continuing to respondwith this victimhood?

(04:40):
I would like to call it of like, oh, you're rejecting me.
Here it is Okay, that's justwhat it is.
You know I'm, I'm unlovableGreat, of course I deserve that.
Like there's, there's thingsthat it's, it's the lie in when
you are an orphan, you'rerejected, you're alone, you're
unlovable, nobody wants you.

(05:01):
All of these things go alongwith that spirit of being an
orphan when you step intosonship and you step into this,
this world, because there is aworld where you can be loved and
love and operate out of love.
That is where we are workingtowards getting like every day I

(05:21):
want to be more and more andmore aware of my sonship, of my,
of who I am as a daughter ofthe Most High King, stepping
into this identity, that man Iam so loved.
I am made perfectly in hisimage.
And these things of helpingsomeone in need, forgiving,
sharing the gospel and doingwhat I can in good, those things

(05:44):
now come easy to me because Ihave a mindset, a heart, posture
of love and acceptance.
But when you're an orphan andyou have this orphan spirit and
you're rejected and nobody'shelping you and you have all
this unforgiveness and you don'tunderstand the true gospel
truth, how are you going toshare it when you don't know it?

(06:06):
And how are you going to dogood when you think everybody is
out to get you right, like soyou find yourself not doing what
is right and commanded of youbecause I mean, come on, you
don't know what you don't know.
Praise God, we get to have thisconversation together and I get
to share a little bit of mytestimony and share with you
some scriptures that you can goand dig into to just find the

(06:29):
truth of what the gospel says.
But at the end of the day, it'sour decision.
I had to make the decision tosay I want to get better.
I'm no longer going to allowthe outside circumstances of my
life to dictate where I'm goingand what my life is going to
look like, even though I was 14and pregnant and even though I
was being mentally andphysically abused.

(06:51):
I had to make a decision.
You know what?
I'm not going to do thisanymore and I'm not going to be
treated this way.
I had to step away.
So I found myself 15, single momon this journey to life and I
like I didn't know Jesus, I hadno idea.
Looking back, I'm like sothankful.
I'm like, wow, god pursues useven when we don't know and seek

(07:15):
him.
Like I thought I was aChristian but definitely was not
living the lifestyle of aChristian Absolutely not.
But hey, there's grace for that.
And in the next episode I'mgoing to share with you a letter
from God that says there isoutrageous grace for you.
It's up to us to receive it, tobe able to see it, and when we

(07:35):
seek after the Father and get afather's blessing and really
learn, even though we've hadmaybe like me, I have had
experience of not having afather here on earth.
I had a father figure, but hewas not my father and still that
was something that was stillnot even like.
You could look at it and saythat's still dysfunctional,
that's not normal, right?

(07:56):
And so if I take my experienceshere on earth that I've had
with my earthly fathers, that'snot looking too good in how, if
I look at father God and I go,oh, you're just like them, maybe
I have eyes and go I don'ttrust you because this is my
experience with a father.
And so if you're trying to tellme God is my father, absolutely
not, how can I trust, how can Ilove, how can I be loved from

(08:19):
somebody like that?
And so that's where you reallygot to dig in and I dug in my
experience with inner healing,sozo and getting help with
coaching and sozo sessions andgoing to church and reading the
word and all these thingscompiled.
I now find myself healed andhealing, continuous healing,

(08:40):
because, let me tell you, itdoesn't stop.
It's like an onion.
There are layers and layers andlayers to this and if you could
shift your sight and frame yourjourney of healing that says,
hey, this is adventure, this isexciting, this is not heavy,
this is not depressing.

(09:00):
Actually, I have become awareand I can celebrate my awareness
.
That's where you're going tohave.
You're going to be motivatedeven further to take the next
step into your healing, to learnthe next thing, to connect with
that next person and get thecoach and invest in the program
that's going to support you inthis journey.
You know I had to make adecision, that I wanted to

(09:23):
create a life, and I have justnot quit.
It's been over a decade of thiswork personally and I continue
it, and I'm obsessed withlearning how to help other women
like you do the same and livetheir greatest life.
So, with that being said, Ipray this was helpful.
This was a shorter version.
There's only literally fourthings that I have on my list to

(09:45):
tell you of sins of omission.
If you can think of any otherthings that you don't do that
you know is right or you arecommanded to do, share it in the
comments and let us know whatI'm potentially missing and what
you have experienced in thisarea and what you've overcome.
I am praying for your victoryin life, in every area, because

(10:06):
I believe how you do anything ishow you do everything, and one
area affects another and it willbleed into it.
So if you find your disciplinein this area of healing and
really focus in, it's going toaffect every area of your life.
When you heal your heart, youheal your mind, you heal the way
you see things in your career,your job, your business, your

(10:26):
ministry and your health.
It's going to affect yourrelationships.
So literally, your wealth,health and relationships.
It's going to affect every areaof your life.
So I just want to commend youfor being here.
If you are the top 1% who isdoing the hard work, you're not
giving up.
You know, the only people whoreally don't succeed are the
ones who stop and quit becauseit gets too hard and or they

(10:48):
don't know what they don't know.
And so continue, continue onthe journey.
So proud of you and so excitedfor you, I will see you in the
next episode and that's where weare going to share the
outrageous grace letter from God.
Just know that you are so loved.
And then, after that letter fromGod, we're going to.
We're going to talk about heartsins.
We're going to go into theinward sins of the heart, and

(11:09):
there are actually six of thosein Matthew 5, 22.
It says, but I say to you, thateveryone who is angry with his
brother will be liable tojudgment.
I pray this has been a blessing.
If it has, leave us a five-starreview that is detailed and let
us know how this has touchedyou.
And if you know a girlfriendwho this would encourage or

it on over to her.
