In Running
In Running, Two Matters are Absolutely Important: the one is to Lay Aside Every Weight, and the other is to Put Away Sin.
Sin hinders progress the most.
It disqualifies people from Running.

HEBREWS 12.1-2
Therefore, we also having so great a cloud of witnesses set around us, having put off every weight, and the closely besetting sin, may we run the contest that is set before us through endurance, looking to the Author and Perfecter of the faith—Jesus, who, for the joy set before Him, endured a cross, having despised shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God;
ROMANS 6.6
knowing this, that our old man was crucified with [Him], that the body of sin may be made useless, for our no longer serving sin,
ROMANS 6.11
so also you, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, and living to God in Jesus Christ our Lord.
We may have to Ask Him Again and Again.
But He Will Surely…
If we are Seeking for Light Prayerfully, Patiently,

EPHESIANS 5.15-17
See, then, how exactly you walk, not as unwise, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil; do not become fools because of this, but—understanding what [is] the will of the LORD,
The most important thing before us now is to identify the enemy.
We should know for sure who is our adversary, who it is that causes us much suffering.
EPHESIANS 6.12 because our wrestling is not with flesh and blood, but with the principalities, with the authorities, with the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, with the spiritual [forces] of evil in the heavenly [places];
The Heart is the Passage or Channel Through which Life Must Operate.
It is for This Reason that God Must First Move Upon our Heart Before His Life Can Enter Into us.
His Need is for man to have Dominion Over All the Created Things of His Hand.
God is in Need of a People Who Can Be Trusted and Who Will NOT themselves create problems.
This is God’s Work! God’s Requirement! that which He is After.
Many do not Study the Bible Well Because of sin not being dealt with.
If we are unfaithful and do not Deal With it, we may Lose That Freedom of Communion with God which is So Vital to Maintain.
